REMINGTON ON BANKRUPTCY BY HAROLD REMINGTON, REFEREE IN BANKRUPTCY, CLEVELAND, O. T HIS work, which is now on the press, has many features to distinguish it from other books upon Bankruptcy. Among them may be enumerated its analytical treatment of the subject, it being the first work on Bankruptcy to attempt a logical arrangement, as distinguished from mere annotation of the Bankruptcy acts. Another feature is its copious extracts from the opinions of the courts, which will prove of the greatest value to the lawyer in briefing any particular question, and will in a measure serve as a substitute where the attorney has not access to the Bankruptcy Reports. The author has had invaluable experience as referee in Bankruptcy for many years; and in addition to a most exhaustive research of the authorities has brought to bear upon his subject great natural ability and a most unusual familiarity and grasp of his topic, resulting in the production of a work which the publishers confidently believe will at once take its place as the standard work on Bankruptcy. This great work will be issued in two large volumes of about 1000 pages each, and sold for $12.00. LAW PUBLISHERS THE MICHIE COMPANY, CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA.
