Excerpt from Leading and Select Cases on Trusts This work has its origin mainly in two circumstances First, in there being heretofore no special compilation of au thorities on the subject of trusts; and, secondly, a desire to economize labor in the preparation of the Covington and Lex ington Railroad case for trial.' In default of being beneficial in that case, it was desired to put the result of this work in such form as to renew, in the attention of the profession and the reading public, the great rules for the administration of trusts. In their actual application, they have recently been so disregarded as to lead, in many cases, to the erroneous opinion that practice had established these rules adversely to the prin ciples. As is well known to many, the labor indicated has been made almost the exclusive business of the author of this compilation, from the inception of the suit, in 1864-5, to the present time.
