Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Treating the general description in the case before us as a part of the contract of sale, the plaintiffs were abundantly protected; and, if they failed to inspect, rescind, and return the goods, it is because they neglected to avail themselves of the remedies which the law afforded them. In cases of executory contracts for the sale and delivery of personal property, the remedy of the vendee to recover damages on the ground that the article furnished fails to correspond with the contract does not survive the acceptance of the property by the vendee after opportunity to ascertain the defect.””
