PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION. The Corporation Act has, since the former edition, been so enlarged and altered by additional legislation, judicial decisions and Departmental construction that the present edition is practically a new treatise. The former corporate classification of the general and special statutes has been preserved-care has been taken to ensure accuracy in all citations and every endeavor made to attempt to correctly represent the law and practice of to-day. The opinions of the respective Attorneys-General upon applications for charters have been examined and are cited herein under the title O. A. G., together with the date. The forms have been thoroughly revised and those now printed have received the endorsement of the Corporation Department of the SECRETARY OF THE COMMONWEALTH. Many of them have been drawn by CHARLES M. CLEMENT, Esq., of that Department, to whom my thanks are due for much kind assistance in this A. T. F. regard. 710 Walnut Street, PHILADELPHIA, January, 1890. |
