One who makes a promise. The promisor is hound to fufil his promise, unless it is contrary to law, as a promise to steal or to commit un assault and battery; when the fulfilment is prevented by the act of God, as where one has agreed to teach another drawing and he loses his sight, so that he cannot teach it; when the promisee prevents the promisor from doing what he agreed to do; when the promisor has been discharged from his promise by the promisee; when the promise has been made without a sufficient consideration; and perhaps in some other cases.
