the disjunctive or, and vice versa. 
     3. 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 Encyclopaedia, and my 
copy of the History of the United States, I am then bound to deliver all of 
them and cannot be discharged by delivering one only. There are, according 
to Toullier, tom. vi. n. 686, as many separate obligations Is 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 
question. Vide Disjunctive, Item, and the case, there cited; and also, Bac.
