Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on the Law of Municipal Bonds, Vol. 1 The author takes this occasion to acknowledge the ser vices of H. Tompkins, Esq., Attorney and Counsellor-at Law, whose able and intelligent assistance has materially lessened the labors of compilation and research. Mr. Tompkins' complete familiarity with the subject, and especially with the latest adjudications affecting it, have tended to greatly enhance the value of the work by en suring the presentation of numerous principles which, although resting upon both reason and authority, are not generally understood. The author feels it to be due to so industrious and capable an assistant to thus publicly acknowledge the value of his efforts.
