Excerpt from Commentaries, Vol. 1: The Law of Municipal Corporations The necessity for a work upon Municipal Corporations was so seriously felt by the author when holding a seat on the Supreme Bench of a State where questions relating to the powers, duties, and liabilities Of municipalities were presented at almost every term, that he resolved, eight years ago and more, to endeavor to supply the want. Although the subject is one of unsurpassed practical importance, since nearly every considerable city and town in the United States is incorporated, no American work upon it has ever appeared. A careful examination of the English treatises satisfied the author that they were, in a great measure, inapplicable here, and that they fail to cover a large portion of the existing field of the law upon the subject as enlarged by American legislation and practice. True, our municipal system, like the body of our jurisprudence, was derived from England, but it is remarkable how many changes were necessary to adapt it to Our system of government and mode of administration, and to the wants and situation of our people. Accordingly, if the municipalities of the one country be closely compared with those of the other, it will be found that, in their structure, powers, and workings, they present quite as many points of difference as of similarity.
