Excerpt from The Law of Municipal Corporations, Vol. 1 The favor accorded to this treatise by the profession is gratifying to the author and compensates for the great labor of its preparation. Nothing can be more pleasing to an author than the knowledge that the studious care given to a work is appreciated by those for whom it was written their approving opinion is the reward he covets and enj oys. The First Edition; published about twelve months ago, and of nearly double the usual size, has been exhausted, and at the request of the publishers the Second Edition has been prepared. As before, this has been the personal labor of the author. All reported cases, decided since the first publication, have been examined and the text and notes prepared without the assistance of others. While this edi tion. Embraces a summary of recent cases to the latest date and contains substantial additions, the structure of the work is unaltered. Some new sections have been added and others re-written. The principal changes have been made in the chapters which treat of Municipal Securities Taxes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.
