Future Losses Under Contract

The plaintiff had contracted with defendants to write a work for ‘The Juvenile Library;’ and he was held to be entitled to recover on their discontinuing the publication; yet the time for the completion of the contract, that is for the work being published in ‘The Juvenile Library,’ had not arrived, for that would not be till a reasonable time after the author had completed the work.
