The Law of Railway Bonds and Mortgages in the United States of America: With Illustrative Cases from English and Colonial Courts (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from The Law of Railway Bonds and Mortgages in the United States of America<br/><br/>The idea of arranging the reported cases relating to railway bonds and mortgages on the plan here followed grew out of a collection of the Federal cases on this sub ject begun by me in 1884 for use in private practice. At that time there was no exhaustive work on this topic. Such collection was gradually added to by including the State cases, and subsequently, illustrative cases from Eng lish and other non-american Courts (including one or two cases from Hawaii) were woven into the book. Cases involving questions arising out of trust mortgages for the benefit of holders of bonds of gas and water and other miscellaneous companies have also been inserted. The demands of an active practice have left only outside hours, during the past ten years, in which to arrange and oversee the arrangement of the cases embraced herein. It has always been my View that the chief value of the text-book to the practitioner lies in the fact that, when properly compiled, it will enable him to find any point in the law of his subject which has either been decided, dis cussed, or even referred to incidentally. Ordinary Digests are incapable of such detail owing to lack of space.
