Popular passages
Page 471 - To justify the State in thus interposing its authority in behalf of the public, it must appear first that the interests of the public generally, as distinguished from those of a particular class, require such interference; and second, that the means are reasonably necessary for the accomplishment of the purpose, and not unduly oppressive upon individuals.
Page 49 - By marriage, the husband and wife are one person in law: that is, the very being or legal existence of the woman is suspended during the marriage, or at least is incorporated and consolidated into that of the husband...
Page 364 - That woman's physical structure and the performance of maternal functions place her at a disadvantage in the struggle for subsistence is obvious.

Page 31 - The husband also, by the old law, might give his wife moderate correction.

Page 460 - But what the master is, in my opinion, bound to his servant to do in the event of his not personally superintending and directing the work, is to select proper and competent persons to do so, and to furnish them with adequate materials and resources for the work.
Page 367 - It must not be forgotten that you are not to extend arbitrarily those rules which say that a given contract is void as being against public policy, because if there is one thing which more than another public policy requires it is that men of full age and competent understanding shall have the utmost liberty of contracting, and that contracts when entered into freely and voluntarily shall be held sacred and shall be enforced by courts of justice.
Page 418 - ... will be regarded as proof of culpable negligence.
