Excerpt from The Law of Business Corporations Including Their Organization and Management, Their Powers and Obligations, Their Rights and Privileges, Their Assessment and Taxation, Their Dissolution and Winding Up, Receivers for and Judicial Control Over, and the Like: Embracing the New York Business Act, the New York Manufacturing Act, the New York Condemnation Law, the New York Weekly Payment of Wages Law, the New York Consolidated Corporation Act, and the New Jersey and West Virginia Acts This volume is founded upon New York statute law, principally the Acts known as The Business Act and The Manufacturing Act. But the s00pe of the work far exceeds the narrow limits of those Acts. The object of the author has been to make the volume a convenient manual wherein the busy attorney may find an exhaustive collection of the cases upon the organization and management of business cor porations; their powers and obligations; their rights and privileges; their assessment and taxation; their dissolution and winding up, and receivers for and judicial control thereof, and the like. The method of treatment has been to give the text of the statute in running sections, printed in large type, and underneath these sections, in sub-sections, and in the foot-notes in smaller type, every case wherein any court of this state has passed upon or construed the section in ques tion, at the same time giving a concise statement of the point decided. An efl'ort has also been made to cull from the various reports of the different states all cases Wherein the same or a cognate point has been discussed and decided. In some instances - as in discussing the rights and liabilities of promoters - extensive citations of English authorities are made, for the reason that the adjudicated cases bearing upon the matter in hand are almost if not quite all English.
