THE INCOME TAX

A federal income tax law will soon be enacted. The statute as it passes Congress will necessarily be complicated, and in its interpretation many points of exceeding nicety will arise. "Is my income taxable?" and "How much shall I report as my taxable income?" are the questions first likely to be submitted to counsel by both individuals and corporations. To advise on this important statute, with its heavy penalties, will tax the resources of our ablest lawyers.

The American and English
Annotated Cases

upon this, as upon all other fresh topics, will be relied upon to report in full the important decisions, and to discuss in the notes all phases of the subject, with references to all authorities. In volume 28 (Ann. Cas. 1913 C) will appear an exhaustive brief entitled

"Taxable Incomes”

This note will discuss the character or amount of the income taxable and the method and means of ascertaining the same, including the exemptions and deductions allowed. It will refer not only to all federal decisions under prior national income tax laws, but to cases decided under state statutes.

The AMERICAN AND ENGLISH ANNOTATED CASES meets all the requirements of the
practitioner for a work which expands as the circle of the law widens and with timeliness discusses
topics not elsewhere treated. Twenty-seven volumes are now ready. About five volumes of fourteen
hundred pages each are issued each year. Every case is annotated. Price $5 per volume, delivered.

The Uniform Sales Act

Prevails in the States of ARIZONA, CONNECTICUT, MARY

LAND, MASSACHUSETTS, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK,
OHIO, RHODE ISLAND, and WISCONSIN.

This important statute is the one recommended by the Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, and is modeled from the English Sale of Goods Act which has been in force in England since 1894.

Bogert's

New York Sales Act

while founded on the New York statute is equally serviceable in all the States where the Uniform Act prevails. It refers to all American decisions under the Act from States which have adopted it and cites and digests every English decision construing the Sale of Goods Act. The numerous and important changes in the common law are pointed out and explained, the codified law being placed alongside the common-law authorities.

BOGERT'S SALES ACT contains practically all the notes of the draftsman of the Act, Professor Williston, appended at appropriate places, thus showing the intent of the draftsman and Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. The index is full and the table of cases shows what decisions in the field of sales have been affected,

The work contains nearly five hundred pages and is handsomely bound in the best law buckram.

ENCYCLOPEDIA OF UNITED STATES

U.S.E. SUPREME COURT REPORTS

ELEVEN VOLUMES, BUCKRAM BINDING, $66.00 DELIVERED

Incomparably the most exhaustive digest of the United States Reports.

Used as an encyclopedia for quick reference, it is the best.

The logical and analytical treatment adds greatly to its superiority.

The most authoritative encyclopedia of law.

The first work to consult after the State Digest.

A satisfactory substitute for the United States Reports.

No other work can be compared with this encyclopedia as a comprehen-
sive treatment of the practice in the United States Courts.

OF GREAT VALUE TO LAWYERS PRACTICING IN STATE COURTS
It has sometimes been urged by lawyers unacquainted with its scope that, as they have no practice in the Federal
Courts, they have no use for the Encyclopedia of United States Supreme Court Reports. Nothing could be more
fallacious than this argument. There are few points of law that have not at one time or another been considered
by the Supreme Court; and when the Supreme Court has determined a point, what higher authority can be obtained
on that point? Take, for example, the articles in the first volume of U. S. E. There are only two that can be said
to be devoted to practice in the United States Courts-viz., Admiralty, 85 pages, and Ambassadors and Consuls,
15-100 out of 1064 pages. The other 964 pages treat of matters which arise daily in any lawyer's practice, such as
Abatement, Revival and Survival; Accession, Accretion and Reliction; Accident Insurance; Accomplices and Accesso-
ries; Accord and Satisfaction; Accounts and Accounting; Acknowledgments; Alteration of Instruments; Amendments;
Animals; Appeal and Error; etc.

Workmen's Compensation

The old common-law doctrines of the master's responsibility to his servant
for injuries received in the course of his employment are fast being superseded
by legislation providing that compensation shall be made in an entirely different
manner and on different theories. State after state is passing compensation
laws, and it is expected that a federal statute will soon be enacted.

The American and English
Annotated Cases

is keeping pace with this progress in our law. Already extensive discussion
has appeared in the notes in this series upon the constitutionality of such legis-
lation and upon various phases of interpretation. In an early volume (Ann. Cas.
1913 C) will appear additional notes of exceptional importance. They are
entitled:

What Is Accident "Arising Out of and in Course of

Employment"

Who Is "Workman" within Meaning of Act

The authorities in the annotations on these topics are not confined to American
decisions. The British Act which has been in force for many years furnishes
a large body of precedents. All the English, Scotch and Irish cases are referred
to, and the American lawyer in dealing with this new subject is thus guided
by the experience in the mother country.

The AMERICAN AND ENGLISH ANNOTATED CASES can be purchased
on liberal instalment terms. For full information address the publishers.

The Work Colossal-New 1913

Labatt on Master and Servant

'IN EIGHT LARGE VOLUMES

IN this work Mr. Labatt has produced the most exhaustive treatise of a legal subject ever produced in this or any language. He has worked upon it almost continuously since 1896.

IN

He has had the assistance of a notable corps of editors: Mr. Rich, Mr. Farnham, Mr. Parmele, Mr. Spurr, Mr. Glass, Mr. Oakes, and others.

He has built for himself a monument that will place his name along with Wharton, Pomeroy, Storey, and the handful of other law writers who have left an indelible impression upon our jurisprudence.

The magnitude of the work is not easily conceivable. The original two volumes, covering Employers' Liability, has now been expanded to three; and in order to bring this one branch of the subject down to date it has been necessary to examine upwards of twenty-six thousand digest propositions.

To this phase of the subject have now been added five more volumes treating, in like thorough manner, every branch of the law as it relates to the rights and duties of Master and Servant. Truly a work of gigantic proportions.

No work could be more timely. No work could be more completely satisfying. No limit has been put on the expense of editorial preparation.
