"This book is interesting throughout; but perhaps the most striking parts are those in which the author gives the figures as to the number of cases, their nature, and their geographical distribution.": Harvard Law Review 26:664-665 cited in Marke, A Catalogue of the Law Collection at New York University (1953) 408.
