Mercantile law is the term used to detonate that part of the general law of England which is concerned with such matters as are usually the subject of what may be called business transactions. It is now only a branch of the general law of contract, which for the sake of convenience is considered in textbooks under various headings, such as agency, sale of goods, insurance and so on. Each of these special types of contract is subject to its own particular rules, but it is also subject to the general law of contract, in so far as the special rules do not replace these principles.
