		The guiding spirit of the merchant law was that it ought to evolve from commercial practice, respond to the needs of the merchants, and be comprehensible and acceptable to the merchants who submitted to it.
		However, the merchants needed to solve their disputes rapidly, sometimes on the hour, with the least costs and by the most efficient means.
		The Law Merchant also strengthened the concept of party autonomy: whatever the rules of the Law Merchant were, the parties were always free to choose whether to take a case to court, what evidence to submit and which law to apply.

		Although the fleet of merchant ships under WSA control and the auxiliary fleets of the Army and the Navy were constantly increasing, rapid expansion of the Nation's fighting forces and the constant broadening of combat areas required most careful allocation of ships to various uses.
		The thousands of merchant ships under the American flag as well as in the service of the other United Nations have been subjected to punishment and hardships during the war years that the average vessel would not encounter in normal use in a period 5 to 10 mines as long.

	INTRODUCTION (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In the case of the A-version, at least, it is true that the evidence of the MSS indicates that the A-text is in reality two poems: (1) a prologue and eight passus of the Vision concerning Piers the Plowman, and (2) a prologue and two passus of the Life of Do-well, Do-better, and Do-best.
		The author of Piers the Plowman seems to have known some French, but his choice of English as the vehicle of his poetry speaks for itself, and his anti-French sentiment is quite obvious when, for example, he identifies the devil allegorically as "a proud prikere of Fraunce" (10.8).
		It will be well, by way of conclusion, to consider briefly the nature of the social and religious criticism found in the poem, and to determine, if possible, the place which the author occupies in the revolt against existing conditions which culminated in the Reformation of the sixteenth century.

		From his window he could see West Street, crowded with merchants leading horse-drawn carts of fruit, dockworkers pulling on pieces of bread while on their way to the piers, and policemen walking their beats.
		The piers, hoisted twenty feet above the water, had small rowboats tethered to their wooden pinnings so workers had access to the lower reaches of the ships.
		After sunset, given the dense cover of the piers' roofs, it was common for crooks to borrow those rowboats and be quietly ferried from one unmanned ship to the next.

	EXPLANATORY NOTES
		In Piers’ directions for finding the abode of St. Truth we find the author’s first liberal use of extended allegorical names, indicated in the text by hyphens.
		Piers’ tearing of the pardon is evidently intended by the poet as the climax to this section of the poem, for the dreamer wakens shortly thereafter.
		This action does not imply a rejection of the message of Truth; rather, it is Piers’ dramatic way of showing the priest that the efficacy of this pardon, unlike papal indulgences, is not dependent on the existence of a piece of paper.

		No merchant—and these were all merchant vessels—wanted to escape ruin in a besieged harbor only to find it by running his ship aground.
