THE STATUTORY AND CASii TAW APPLICABLE TO PRU^ATE COM- 

 panies under the General Corporation Act of New Jersey, and Corporation 

 Precedents. By James B. Dill, Counselor at Law. Third edition. New 

 York: Baker, Vooi his & Co. 1901. [Cloth. 8 vo. Pp.381. Price, $5.] 



Since it has been the announced and settled policy of the 

 state of New Jersey to attract incorporated capital to that 

 state, by the enactment of liberal laws for the protection of 

 capital thus invested, the large corporations formed under the 

 laws of that state have become more numerous than in any 

 other part of the Union. The result of such legislation is ap- 

 parent from the fact that several other states have adopted 

 many of the essential and underlying principles, some even 

 adopting the language, of the New Jersey laws. In this volume 

 has been compiled the legislation of New Jersey in relation to 

 corporations, including the latest amendments, with ample ex- 

 planatory notes and abstracts of legal decisions in which the 

 various enactments have been construed by the courts. There 

 are given also many forms and precedents, such as are likely to 

 be of use to counsel in the organization of corporations under 

 the laws of other states as well as in formation and subsequent 

 management of New Jersey companies. The recognized posi- 

 tion of the author of this book as perhaps the most eminent 

 corporation counsel in the United States fits him particularly 

 for the preparation of such a work.

We have received from the International Cable Directory 

 Co. (No. 17 State street. New York) a copy of the International 

 Cable Directory of the World, issued in conjunction with the 

 Western Union telegraphic code system. This book to users 

 of the wires, both for domestic or cabling purposes, is to the 

 business public what the telephone book is to users of the tele- 

 phone, as it furnishes the cable addresses of prominent cor- 

 porations, firms, and individuals in all parts of the globe, and 

 is therefore invaluable for reference. The fact that the State 

 department has purchased copies to supply all the embassies, 

 legations, and consulates of the United States, must add ma- 

 terially to the value of the book to users of the Code. The 

 book was adopted by the State department mainly for the pro- 

 motion of commercial relations with the United States by resi- 

 dents of other countries. The great success of the work has 

 induced the publishers to print the business headings in Ger- 

 man, French, and Spanish, in addition to E)nglish. The Direc- 

 tory contains perhaps the best classified list of American manu- 

 facturers extant.
