The Transfer of Stock in Private Corporations (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Transfer of Stock in Private Corporations In consequence of the recent increase in the number of private corporations, and of their growth in importance, many treatises have lately appeared, dealing either with the law of corporations in general, or with some particular branch of it. In this volume we have treated of the transfer of stock. In addition to the American authorities, we have cited a considerable number of English cases, for two reasons: first, because some of the cases are of great importance in illustrating the matter under consideration; and second, because others, unless explained, have proved, and will continue to prove, very misleading.
