Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Railroads, Vol. 8 This work was written for the benefit of practising lawyers, and with a view to aid them in the solution of vexed questions relating to railway law with which they may have to deal. With this single purpose in view, I have examined many thousand cases involving questions relating to the topics treated, - have eliminated their doctrine, and as far as practicable stated the gist of them in the text or the notes. The most important topics have been carefully and fully treated, such as relate to corporate powers, ultra vires, pooling contracts, the duties and liabilities of railway companies as carriers of passengers, negligence, tickets, the expulsion of passengers, the powers and duties of directors and other officers, eminent domain, municipal subscriptions, stockholders, etc. In the treatment of these topics, as well as others not enumerated, I have given the gist of many cases by way of illustration, and have endeavored as far as possible to make the work useful and practical.
