Excerpt from American Statute Law, Vol. 2: An Analytical and Compared Digest the States and Territories, Relating to General and Business and Private Corporations in Force July 1, 1892

The reader is referred to the Preface to Volume I. For the reasons which have guided the author in selecting such subjects as were to be omitted in order to bring the work within reasonable compass. Owing to the nature of the subject, the several state statutes have been copied literally much more often in this than in the preceding volume. Hence there has been less compression, and it has been found necessary to omit from this volume the special statutes affecting insurance corporations, and the law of religious, educational, and similar corporations. But every statute affecting corporations generally, business corporations, manufacturing companies, and the like, railroads, and trusts, has, it is believed, been incorporated herein.
