1 The only question from the purely legal point of view is whether the promisor will be compelled to pay.
2 That is, as it is commonly explained, unless the promisee has either conferred a benefit on the promisor, or incurred a detriment, as the inducement to the promise.
3 There is a promise of better days ahead.
4 She gave me her promise.
5 In that case the detriment of delivery would be incurred by the promisee as before, but obviously it would be incurred for the sole purpose of enabling the promisor to carry as agreed.
6 For one thing we do not recognize as legally enforceable all intentional promises intended to be binding upon the promisor.
7 But the law does not inquire, as a general thing, how far the accomplishment of an assurance touching the future is within the power of the promisor.

10 The oldest cases, going on the notion of benefit to the promisor, said that it could not be, for it was a trouble, not a benefit.
11 In one sense, everything is form which the law requires in order to make a promise binding over and above the mere expression of the promisor's will.
12 Conversely, a stipulation which originally was perfectly good may be avoided by the thing, which is its object, acquiring any of the characters just specified through no fault of the promisor.
13 The governor promised that the prisoners would receive a fair trial.
14 The second stage was when the doctrine of consideration was introduced in its earlier form of a benefit to the promisor.
15 The oldest method of enforcement in Roman law was seizure of the person, to coerce satisfaction or hold the promisor in bondage until his kinsmen performed the judgment.
16 She promised to announce the results tomorrow.
17 They were attracted by the promise of success.
18 “I won't tell anyone.” “Promise?” “Yes, I promise.”
19 Promise me that you won't tell anyone.
20 You always promise, but you never do what you say you will.
