"Putnam's Handy Law Book for the Layman" by Albert Sidney Bolles is a legal guide written in the early 20th century. This work aims to clarify various legal principles, particularly for laypersons who may find themselves navigating legal situations without specialized knowledge. The book covers a wide array of topics, from contracts and bankruptcy to the roles of agents and the intricacies of property law. At the start of the book, the author outlines the purpose of this legal reference, stressing the importance of understanding commonly applied laws that are often overlooked by individuals relying solely on their instincts. Bolles discusses fundamental legal concepts such as statutes versus common law and the importance of adherence to established legal norms.
