"text": "1863 Joseph Story: Commentaries on the Law of Bailments\nBefore entering, however, upon a particular consideration of the distinctions of the common law, with, a view of ascertaining the precise nature and extent of the obligations of the bailee in the various sorts of bailment, it may be of use to say a few words on the subject of the various degrees of care or diligence, which are recognized in that law. It has been justly said, that there are infinite shades of care or diligence, from the slightest momentary thought to the most vigilant anxiety; but extremes in this case, as in most others, are inapplicable to practice. There may be a high degree of diligence, a common degree of diligence, and a slight degree of diligence ; and these, with a view to the business of life, seem all that are necessary to be brought under review. Common or ordinary diligence is that degree of diligence which men in general exert in respect to their own concerns. It may be said to be the common prudence, which men of business and heads of families usually exhibit, in affairs which are interesting to them. Or, as Sir William Jones has expressed it, it is the care, which every person, of common prudence, and capable of governing a family, takes of his own concerns. It is obvious, that this is adopting a very variable standard ; for it still leaves much ground for doubt, as to what is common prudence, and who is capable of governing a family. . . and low, or slight diligence is that, which persons of less than common prudence, or indeed of any prudence at all, take of their own concerns."

"text": "1863 Joseph Story: Commentaries on the Law of Bailments\nBefore entering, however, upon a particular consideration of the distinctions of the common law, with, a view of ascertaining the precise nature and extent of the obligations of the bailee in the various sorts of bailment, it may be of use to say a few words on the subject of the various degrees of care or diligence, which are recognized in that law. It has been justly said, that there are infinite shades of care or diligence, from the slightest momentary thought to the most vigilant anxiety; but extremes in this case, as in most others, are inapplicable to practice. There may be a high degree of diligence, a common degree of diligence, and a slight degree of diligence ; and these, with a view to the business of life, seem all that are necessary to be brought under review. Common or ordinary diligence is that degree of diligence which men in general exert in respect to their own concerns. It may be said to be the common prudence, which men of business and heads of families usually exhibit, in affairs which are interesting to them. Or, as Sir William Jones has expressed it, it is the care, which every person, of common prudence, and capable of governing a family, takes of his own concerns. It is obvious, that this is adopting a very variable standard ; for it still leaves much ground for doubt, as to what is common prudence, and who is capable of governing a family. . . and low, or slight diligence is that, which persons of less than common prudence, or indeed of any prudence at all, take of their own concerns."
