"The Law of the Road; or, Wrongs and Rights of a Traveller" by R. Vashon Rogers is a humorous legal guide that explores the rights and liabilities of travelers, especially concerning transport via carriages and railroads, written in the late 19th century. The text aims to provide both entertainment and practical legal knowledge to everyday travelers while blending elegant extracts from legal literature with amusing anecdotes. The opening of the work sets the scene on New Year's Day, where the protagonist, Eldon, finds himself in a series of comedic legal dilemmas caused by his reckless servant John, who causes various accidents while driving. Through a lively conversation with his wife, Elizabeth, Eldon delves into legal principles concerning liability for the actions of servants, rights of pedestrians, and the peculiarities of driving on Sundays. The narrative employs wit and a conversational tone to discuss legalities, providing readers not only insights into the law of the roads but also engaging them with relatable domestic humor.
