Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise of the Law of Companies, Considered as a Branch of the Law of Partnership, Vol. 1 The present volumes are the Sixth Edition of a portion of the author's former Treatise on the Law of Partnership, including its application to Companies. When that Treatise was first published, viz., in 1860, the Law of Companies was being developed by legisla tive enactment and judicial decision out of the Law of Partnership; and it appeared to the author desirable to trace that development, and to endeavour in one treatise to investigate the Law of Partnership and to determine the extent to which its principles were applicable to Companies. But since that time the Law of Companies has so developed as to require separate treatment; consequently, in 1888, the author divided the former treatise into two parts, each of which was intended to be complete without the other, viz., the Law of Partnership proper, and the Law of Companies, in so far as it has any connection with the former. These volumes, like their immediate pre decessor, are devoted to the second of these parts, viz., the Law of Companies considered as a branch of the Law of Partnership.
