Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Stock and Stockholders as Applicable to Railroad, Banking, Insurance, Manufacturing, Commercial, Business, Turnpike, Bridge, Canal, and Other Private Corporations
The dates of most of the cases are given in the notes. It is believed that thereby the relative importance of a given case can be more easily ascertained and determined. It is also worthy of note that the dates of the cases become of great use when there is a con¿ict of authority. By the dates also the important facts are brought out that the law of Stock and Stockholders is of very recent ~origin that most Of the cases have arisen within the past fifty years; that the /law relative to stockholders' actions against directors has arisen within thirty years, and that we are as yet only on the threshold of that new jurisprudence which, though now in a formative state, is for the future to regulate the great subject of corporations having a capital stock.
