Salvage
Salvage, allowance or compensation made by maritime law to those by whose exertions ships or goods have been saved from the dangers of the seas, fire, pirates, or enemies.This was allowed by the laws of Rhodes, Oleron, and Wisby, and is also allowed by all modern maritime states; the person who saves goods from loss or imminent peril has a lien upon them, and may retain them till payment of salvage. In this, however, the maritime law differs from the Common Law. No doctrine similar to 'salvage' applies to things lost upon land, nor to anything except ships or goods in peril at sea, Falcke v.

The factors of comparison should be capable of precise definition.The word 'value,' when used without adjunct, always means in political economy, value in exchange; or, as it has been called by Adam Smith and his successors, exchangeable value, a phrase which no amount of authority that can be quoted for it can make other than bad English. Mr. De Quincey substitutes the term 'exchange value,' which is unexceptionable, 1 Mill's Pol. Econ. 528, 578.The word 'value,' it is to be observed, has more than one meaning, and sometimes expresses the utility of some particular object, and sometimes the power of purchasing other goods which the possession of that object conveys. The one may be called 'value in use,' the other 'value in exchange.' The things which have the greatest value in use have frequently little or no value in exchange; and, on the contrary, those whic...
