Modern Corporation

Excerpt from The Modern Corporation: Its Mechanism, Methods, Formation and Management In this fourth edition of "The Modern Corporation" the author has made the various changes necessary to bring the volume up-to-date, has made such minor emendations in the text as seemed desirable, and has added to the number of its forms. The most important change is, however, in the arrangement of the volume; the consideration of the mechanism and management of corporations now preceding the discussion of their organization instead of following it as before. The former arrangement was logical but, from the practical standpoint, one unfamiliar with corporate matters requires a knowledge of corporate mechanism and procedure and of the ends to be attained by incorporation before this latter subject can be intelligently considered, and for this reason the change referred to has been made.
