2. The obligations of the drawer to the drawee and every subsequent
holder lawfully entitled to the possession, are, that the person on whom he
draws is capable of binding himself by his acceptance that he is to be found
at the place where he is described to reside, if a description be given in
the bill; that if the bill be duly presented to him, he will accept in
writing on the bill itself, according to its tenor, and that he will pay it
when it becomes due, if presented in proper time for that purpose; and that
if the drawee fail to do either, he, the drawer, will pay the amount,
provided he have due notice of the dishonor. 3. The engagement of the drawer
of a bill is in all its parts absolute and irrevocable. 2 H. Bl. 378; 3 B. &
