The term “agreement” is often used as synonymous with “contract.” Properly speaking, however, it is a wider term than “contract” (Anson, Cont. 4.) An agreement might not be a contract, because not fulfilling some requirement of the law of the place in which it is made. So, where a contract embodies: a series of mutual stipulations or constituent clauses, ench of these clauses might be denominated an “agreement.” “Agreement” is seldom applied to specialties; “contract” is generally confined to simple contracts; and “promisc” refers to the engagement of a party without reference to the reasons or considerations for it, or the duties of other parties. Pars. Cont. 6. “Agreement” is more comprehensive than “promise ;” signifies a mutual contract, on consideration, between two or more parties. A statute (of frauds) which requires the agreement to be in writing includes the consideration. Wain vy. Warlters, 5 East, 10. “Agreement” is not synonymous’ with “promise” or “undertaking,” but, in its more proper and correct sense, signifies a mutual coutract, on consideration, between two or more parties, and implies a consideration.
