Dr Wiswall examines the development of jurisdiction and practice in
the field of Admiralty Law in England, with American comparisons,
during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; the work is largely
organized around the Court of Admiralty from 1798 onwards. The
judgeships of Lord Stowell, Dr Lushington, Sir Robert Phillimore
and Sir Francis Jeune, in England, are considered in some detail,
and also those of Mr Justice Story, Judge Ashur Ware and Judge
Addison Brown in the United States. One chapter is devoted to an
examination of the dissolution of Doctors' Commons (the unique body
of English civil lawyers). Development through case law, statutes
and rules is the technical side of this study - an exposition not
so much of the development of legal principles themselves as of
their application. 'The last chapter turns to a study of the
evolution of the substantive law regarding personal liability in
Admiralty actions in rem, illustrating the divergence between the
English and American law, and the effect upon and repercussions in
international maritime law.
