Handbook of Average: To Which Is Added a Chapter On Arbitration

"A Handbook of Average," by Manley Hopkins, provides a detailed examination of average, particularly within the context of maritime law and insurance. First published in 1884, this handbook offers insights into the calculation and handling of general and particular average, essential knowledge for merchants, ship owners, and insurance professionals involved in maritime commerce. The inclusion of a chapter on arbitration underscores the book's practical value in resolving disputes related to shipping losses and liabilities.

Hopkins's work stands as a valuable resource for understanding the complexities of maritime financial adjustments during the late 19th century. Its detailed explanations and practical guidance make it a relevant reference for anyone studying the history of maritime law, insurance practices, and the economics of international trade.
