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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is well settled that when a contract is to be founded on offer and acceptance, it must be shown that the latter coincides precisely with the former. Unless this appears, there is no agreement: Hardy v. Sheedy, 58 Or. 195 ( 113 P. 1133 ); Hall v. Olson, 58 Or. 464 ( 114 P. 638 ); Henry v. Harker, 61 Or. 276 ( 118 P. 205 , 122 P. 298 ); Lueddemann v. Rudolf, 79 Or. 249 ( 154 P. 116 , 155 P. 172 ). The evidence of the alleged compact being all in the letters, it is the province of the court to construe them and see if they constitute a contract. ’ ’”
