Tbeattsk ox the lav of Taxation fx CLinINU THE IAW OK Local AS1 By Thomas Cooley LLD Second edition greatly enlarged Chicago: Callaghan A Co ISM) In the ten years since Judge Cooley published the first edit ion of this work the law of taxation has unfolded from a theoretical to a compara tively exact science Something like 8000 tex cases it is reckoned have been decided in this country in that time and ns the author states in his preface points upon hich he was then able to give no other authority than his own opinion are now abundantly settled by judicial decisions An the conclusions thus established do not differ materially from those stated by the writer in his first edition it is a not unreasonable inference that the original treatise has done its part in the guidance of the courts a nd has in ef feet itself built up tho law No greater tribute could be paid to the soundness of the reasoning than that it should have been so uni formly accepted upon their practical applica tion to actual cases proves its correctness by a test that a priori dogmatizing will rarely stand When the first edition appeared the reviewers while complimenting it highly as an exposition of principles recognized the fact that ircoula not safely have been made like many law books a digest of decisions because tho laxv of taxation is so largely statutory that what would lie true for one State might not be tor another That dit ficuty of course willcontinne to attjteh to tiie subject and embarrass text writers until ill Pro cess of time its principles have become settled in the body of the law as well as locally But tire plan of Judge treatise enables him to avoid it And indeed the philosophical quality in his books places them far above the level of other writers who collect and classify coses diligentlv but cannot give to their compi lations the weight of an authoritative evolution of principles new edition is really a new treat ise fot while it preserves W'ith conspicuous fidelity the system of the old one even to the exact number of chapters and as far as possible to the preser vation of the sub titles therein it has been sub" stantially rewritten and incorporates about 2 0 pages ot additional matter increasing the bulk of the Ixxik nearly one half The table ot Cited fills sixty nine pages to forty in the old edition The foot notes are as full as before and are an overflowing magazine of case law The paging has not been preserved and could not well be Ltit this is not important tor while the similarity of arrangement enables one to compaie the two books easily the latter one must wholly supersede the other That pent ton which relates lo he important subject of local assessments has been carefully reconstruct The Michi teti liar who have been familiar with Judge Cooley's written opinions for the tw enty years of his judicial lite upon the Su preme Benell need not be told that his style Is as clear as his reasoning is cloe and this is so great a
