contracts, wills, instruments. A term in gramor one proposition to another proposition. There are many cases in law, where the conjunctive and is used for the disjunctive or, and vice versa. An obligation is conjunctive when it contains several things united by a conjunction, to indicate that they are all equally the object of the matter or contract; for example, if I promise for a lawful consideration, to deliver to you my copy of the Life of Washington, my Encyclopedia, and my copy of the History of the United States, I am then bound to deliver all of them and cannot be discharged by deliver. ing one only. There are, according to Toullier, tom. vi. n. 686, as many separate obligations as there are things to be delivered, and the obligor may discharge himself pro tanto by delivering either of them, or in case of refusal the tender will be valid. It is presumed however that only one action could be maintained for the whole. But if the articles in the agreement had not been enumerated, I could not, according to Toullier, deliver one in discharge of my contract, without the consent of the creditor; as if, instead of enumerating the books above mentioned, I had bound myself to deliver all, my books, the very books in ques. tion.
