And moreover a legal maxim caveat emptor, "Let the buyer beware" made cheating legally safe. Dealers in clothing guaranteed neither fit nor quality, and anything you paid for, once wrapped up and in your hands, was yours beyond recall "Business is business," was a maxim that covered many sins. A few hundred years ago business was transacted mostly through fairs and ships, and by pedlers.
All which is humbly submitted. I enclose two notes, that you may take your choice. Mr. Watrous's business respecting the land is not very material. If it should have failed, you may inform him that I have long since filed a caveat which will cover his claim. I bear the fatigues of our business to admiration. Have great appetite, and sleep sound about ten hours a night.
An investigator who seems to have grasped more clearly the basic idea was the distinguished American inventor Elisha Gray, already mentioned as the man who had succeeded in perfecting the "harmonic telegraph." On February 14, 1876, Gray filed a caveat in the United States Patent Office, setting forth pretty accurately the conception of the electric telephone.
I have the honor to be, with the greatest esteem and respect, your Excellency's most obedient and most humble servant, Th: Jefferson. LETTER XXXI. TO GENERAL GATES, October 28, 1780 Richmond, October 28, 1780. Sir, Your letters of the 14th, 20th, and 21st have come to hand, and your despatches to Congress have been regularly forwarded. I shall attend to the caveat against Mr. Ochiltree's bill.
And so I take leave of the Skye terrier with a caveat emptor to the purchaser who does not want to be sold while he buys. The sense of humor must surely exist in individual dogs; otherwise it would puzzle me to account for the singular practical jokes played off by a water-spaniel once possessed by me.
Stetson advised Meucci to apply for a patent, but Meucci, without funds, had to content himself with a caveat. To obtain money for the latter he formed a partnership with A.Z. Grandi, S.G.P. Buguglio, and Ango Tremeschin.
That sense of caveat donor was perhaps their most pathetic characteristic. But he broke it down; broke down, too, the shyness accompanying it, the shyness and solemnity emphasized in them by contact with hardship and poverty, with the stark side of life they faced at home. He had made them Mrs. Maturin once illuminatingly remarked more like children.
It was also asserted that the filing of the Gray caveat antedated by a few hours the filing of the Bell application.
It is just the sort of caveat to be uttered by persons aware that themselves, or many of their class, might happen to betray to the sharpened inspection of a more intelligent people, that a higher ground in the allotments of fortune is no certain pledge for a superior rank of mind.
This generosity was too much for the equanimity of Sir John Hawkins, one of the executors of the will, who, when he found that this negro servant would receive about fifteen hundred pounds, including an annuity of seventy pounds a year, grumbled and muttered "a caveat against ostentatious bounty and favor to negroes."
