A Manual for Guardians and Trustees of Minors, Insane Persons, Imbeciles, Idiots, Drunkards, and for Guardians Ad Litem, Resident and Non-Resident, Affected by the Laws of Ohio (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual for Guardians and Trustees of Minors, Insane Persons, Imbeciles, Idiots, Drunkards, and for Guardians Ad Litem, Resident and Non-Resident, Affected by the Laws of Ohio To prepare such a work on the subject of guardianship in Ohio, with suitable forms, practical suggestions, index, etc., has been the aim of the writer since this volume was begun and announced. For this pur pose, it has been necessary to examine, with care, the standard works on Trusts, Trustees, Domestic Relations, and other subjects in which guardianship is considered directly or indirectly, as well as a great many cases decided by the courts of our diflerent states and of Eng land, and to glean, condense, and arrange from these authorities such matter as would likely be most. Useful, and yet not to make the book a large or expensive one. The time devoted to it being chiefly outside of usual office hours, its progress was not as rapid as was hoped at first; and when almost ready for the press. It, with considerable other manu script, was totally destroyed by fire. Its data had, therefore, to be again all collected as at first, and its writing done a second time. These are the causes of its delay. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
