PREFACE TO NINTH EDITION. In the ten years that have elapsed since the last edition of this book appeared, the Corporation Laws which were then in force have been largely superseded by an act passed by the General Assembly of 1903, generally known at the present time as the Corporation Act. This Act has itself been the subject of considerable amendment by the last four sessions of the General Assembly and a number of important and interesting decisions affecting corporations generally have been rendered by our Supreme Court since 1902. It has seemed, therefore, in view of these facts, that another edition of this book, which should include these amendments and decisions and forms revised to conform to the Act as amended, would be of practical value not only to the members of the Bar, but to all persons having anything to do with the practical management of the present-day corporation of Connecticut. As will be seen, the notes of cases in the present edition follow the particular section of the Corporation Act to which they refer. The provisions of the General Statutes and Public Acts are in italics throughout and the notes of cases are distinguishable from the rest of the text by being in small type. It is a pleasure to acknowledge the efficient and painstaking services and practical suggestions of Thomas M. Steele, Esq., of the New Haven County Bar, which were of material assistance in the compilation of this book. New Haven, August 1, 1912. ELIOT WATROUS. INDEX TO CASES CITED.
