Viewing Francis B. Tiffany: "Handbook of the Law of Sales" (1895).


Francis B. Tiffany: "Handbook of the Law of Sales" (1895).

Francis Buchanan Tiffany, a St. Paul lawyer and a founder of the St. Paul College of Law, wrote several treatises in the 1890s and early 1900s. His hornbook on the law of sales was published by West Publishing Company of St. Paul in 1895, and a second edition followed in 1908. It was reviewed in 2 Law Book News 344-45 (November 1895) by Professor Ernest Wilson Huffcut (1860-1907) of the Cornell Law School. Following this lengthy review, excerpts from reviews in the American Law Register & Review, the Harvard Law Review and the New Jersey Law Journal were reprinted. Each review was fairly positive. They are posted separately in the archives of the MLHP.

Francis B. Tiffany died in St. Paul on October 25, 1936, at age eighty-one. A memorial to him by the Ramsey County Bar Association can be found in "Ramsey County Bar Memorials -- 1937" 3-5 (MLHP, 2016).

The first edition of his Handbook of the Law of Sales is posted here. ----------
