Excerpt from The Law and Practice in Bankruptcy Under the National Bankruptcy Act of 1898, Vol. 1 of 2 Collier on Bankruptcy was the pioneer work on the subject, and quickly attained a high position with the bench and bar, a position which it has maintained for twenty-three years, through eleven different editions. The last edition was published over three years ago, during which time there have been over twelve hundred new decisions construing the Bankruptcy Act. The wisdom of continuing the previous policy of the publishers of keeping the work up to date as the leading exponent of the Law of Bankruptcy has caused the preparation of this new edition.
