Subject: [RDG] Was John Dawson afraid of water?

For a little diversion ... a collection of quotations from John Dawson's

great book, Unjust Enrichment: A Comparative Analysis. Boston: Little,

Brown, 1951. Did he have a bad experience at summer camp?


 

8: Yet once the idea has been formulated as a generalization, it has the

peculiar faculty of inducing quite sober citizens to jump right off the

dock.

 

74: It may be that Bartolus jumped off the dock at this point, a thing he

seldom did.

 

100: For a time it appeared that the Court of Cassation would rally from the

blows it was receiving; then it suddenly took a long jump into very deep

water.

 

101: From seeds to fertilizer may be a short step across a barn but it was a

high dive for the Court of Cassation.
