This treatise introduced the concept of trust estates as business companies. It provides a trenchant practical description of the law of trusts and historical perspectives into the origin of the modern Massachusetts Business Trust, arguably the only common-law method of business organization available with limited liability for the organizers. It also treats income taxation, in a way that is relevant today, Common Law Companies,
Business Trusts, Voluntary Associations and relevant Massachusetts and Oklahoma statutes. The second edition is a significant update to the original 1912 edition, which was considered a pioneering work in the field. xx, 782 pp.
