The Law of of Combinations,

By ARTHUR J. EDDY, of the Chicago Bar.

The discussion of monopolies is exhaustive from the earliest instances in England to such as exist at the present day in America, and the distinction between the early monopolies and combinations of the present day is clearly pointed out.

All attempts to "corner," forestall and engross the market are fully discussed, and the connection of the law relating to such attempts with combinations which control the market is outlined.

The development of the law of criminal and civil conspiracy is traced from the earliest English cases and statutes down to the present day, for it is the principles governing the law of conspiracy that must control the law of combination, an illegal combination being nothing more nor less than a conspiracy, either criminal or civil.

The rise and fall of the trust as a form of combination is traced in the decisions, and the advantages and the disadvantages of the trust form of combination are shown.

The corporate combination succeeded the trust, and is the form of combination most in favor at the present time. All cases bearing upon this form of combination are presented in such a form that reference to original reports is rendered practically unnecessary.

Combinations of labor, both legal and illegal, are historically reviewed, and the law as at present established in each State is fully set forth. In this connection the law of strikes, boycotts, trade unions, etc., is presented in condensed form, and yet wherever a case is referred to, sufficient facts are given to indicate the bearing of the decision.

All combinations of capital, both legal and illegal, together with the development of the same, are fully reviewed from the earliest cases to the present day, and the different forms of combinations that have developed from time to time in response to economic conditions are classified in logical order.

The discrimination that is made between labor and capital in both legislation and the decisions of courts is fully discussed, and the effect of such discrimination upon the enforcement of the law against combinations, is pointed out.

A SELECTION OF CASES

Edited and Annotated

EDWIN H. WOODRUFF,

PROFESSOR OF LAW IN THE CORNELL UNIVERSITY COLLEGE of Law.

In one volume of 605 pages, Bound in law canvas, Price, $4.00 net. or $4.25 by express prepaid.

This new case book has been prepared in view of the growing demand for instruction on the law of insurance in the law schools. The necessity of maintaining a course on insurance law as a part of the curriculum of law study becomes more and more apparent for the following reasons:

First, the ever-increasing importance and extent of the insurance business; there being comparatively few persons who are not directly or indirectly interested in insurance policies of one kind or another.

Second, the large amount and variety of insurance litigation, as

shown by the reports and digests.

Third, and most important to the law student, the modifications and striking peculiarities in the applications of the principles of contracts, agency and evidence to questions of insurance law.

To the practicing lawyer it is believed that this book will be of much aid in the investigation of questions of insurance law, for he will hardly fail to find among the numerous cases contained in the volume some case analogous to the one he may have under consideration.

On application, the publishers will send a copy of the book to the instructor in the Law of Insurance in any law school who may desire it for examination, with the view of adopting it for use with his classes should he find it adapted to that purpose.

From the Central Law Journal.-"The book before us is the most thorough, the annotations the most closely in point, and the arrangement and classification of the cases the most orderly of any book of cases that has ever before been presented to our notice, evincing on the part of the author great legal learning and the qualities of conciseness and order so necessary to the legal writer. It is difficult to conceive that the practitioner can have any insurance case to investigate that will not be found analogous to some one of the leading cases in this book."

From the Harvard Law Review.-"The author in this volume has furnished us with

an excellent case book. * * * The difficult task of selecting the cases has been performed with

discrimination."

From the American Law Register.-" The man who studies law by the case system regards as invaluable the production of such a book as 'A Selection of Cases on the Law of Insurance,' recently published by Professor Edwin H. Woodruff, of Cornell."
