Written for practitioners of corporate law and covers the role of the doctrine in corporate transactions, along with its impact on the rights and liabilities of corporations. This edition, with notes and references by Ashbel Green, summarizes major cases in both American and English law for legal practitioners. The book focuses on the concept of "ultra vires", a Latin term meaning "beyond the powers". In corporate law, this refers to actions taken by a corporation or its agents that exceed the legal scope of authority granted by the company's bylaws, constitution, or state statutes. This work was a valuable resource in the 19th century for understanding the legal boundaries within which corporations had to operate to protect investors and creditors from unauthorized activities. The spine label with the name "W.V. Ford" likely indicates the ownership of William Vernon Ford (1890-1949), lawyer and judge of Luray, Virginia. Even in official publications of the time, his name is often given in the shortened form "W. V. Ford".
