CONYNGTON ON COPORATE 

 ORGANIZATION, 



This volume is just issued and is 

 similar in style, size and price to its 

 companion volume, "Corporate Man- 

 agement," by the same authoi*. This 

 latter work has had a large sale 

 among the leading attorneys and cor- 

 porations of the counti-y. The author 

 of these books, Mr. Thomas Conyng- 

 ton of the New York Bar, is a corpor- 

 ation lawyer of extended experience 

 and is the author of several successful 

 works on corporation law. 



"Corporate Organization" is unique 

 in several respects, and, dealing prac- 

 tically with the subject of incorpora- 

 ation, is a timely work of more than 

 ordinary interest. It contains much 

 valuable matter that is found in no 

 other volume. Special attention is 

 called to the following points: (1) It 

 states fully and clearly the possibili- 

 ties of incorporation, showing just 

 what its advantages are and how they 

 may be best attained, Avhat disadvan- 

 tages and dangers may be encountered 

 and how and to what extent these 

 may be avoided or overcome. (2) It 

 treats — from the standpoint of bus- 

 iness and finance as well as that of 

 law— all the important features of in- 

 corporation, such as capitalization, 

 preparation of charter, organization of 

 company, issuance of stoclv, etc. (3) 

 It discusses practically many matters 

 of vital importance to incorporators 

 such as the adjusitment of interest 

 among incorporating parties, the pro- 

 tection of the minority, the mainte- 

 nance of an agreed policy or manage- 

 ment, the issuance of stock for prop- 

 erty, the safeguarding of special inter- 

 ests, etc. (4) It discusses the use of 

 voting trusts, holding corporations, un- 

 derwriting and the other modern in- 

 strumentalities of corporate or pre-cor- 

 porate activity. Its forms are of un- 

 u.sual excellence. 



In short the work is a thoroughly 

 first-class, up-to-date and practical 

 manual of incorporation.

There is notliing about a hive so im 

 portant as the queen. She is the hear 

 of the colony. From her comes thi, 

 life blood, as it were, the young bee 

 to take the place of those which ar 

 wearing out and dying. — Morle;

With all the cold weather we ap^

 well. January 1 it was warm enoug

Several of the "Apiculteur's" corrt 

 spondents claim that the colonies wit 

 a fair number of drones yield mol 

 surplus than those which have non 

 or only very few. The editor suggest 

 that the presence of drones may incit 

 the bees to work more actively in oi 

 der to provide them. — L'Apiculteur.
