SynopsisExcerpt from Corporations, Vol. 1 of 2: A Study of the Origin and Development of Great Business Combinations and of Their Relation to the Authority of the State Mr. Davis's manuscript on corporations was completed April 8, 1897, and the preface written not later than six weeks after that date. Ill-health contracted during the period that he was engaged in the preparation of this work prevented him from writing the contemplated treatise on modem corporations. Leaving the East in 1897 in search of a climate where he might regain his health, he took up his residence at Nampa, Idaho, which place he claimed as his home until his death in December, 1903, at Asheville, N. C. It must be regarded as a distinct loss to the literature of political science that a writer so well equipped to deal with the modem-corporation problem and so keenly alive to the significance of the present-day tendency toward the corporate form of organization did not live to complete the work which he had planned. The painstaking work of reading the proofs of these volumes has been done by the author's legal representative.

He had announced for the semester a course of lectures on the political institutions of the Middle Ages; when the end of the semester was reached he had only just finished his introductory remarks. A few years ago I projected a study of the modern corporation question, and in tended to clear the ground for the subject by a short introductory chapter on the history of corporations. I am now congratulating myself that the introduction has consumed no more than three years and has demanded no more than thirteen chapters. The present volumes are intended to serve as an introduction to a volume on the subject of modern corporations, especially those in the United States, to be written during the next five or ten years. Chapter XIV. Is not intended to be exhaustive, but to show briey the connection between the old and modern corporations.
