Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Taxation by Local and Special Assessments

In this work, the authors have attempted to do what has never been done before  to cover the whole field of what is properly the law of Taxation by Local and Special Assessment in a thorough and exhaustive manner. They have given an analysis of the substantive law of Assessments in a way never approached in any other work  and they have also discussed with especial care and detail the practical questions of the method by which the public corporations may enforce Assessments and the meth ods whereby the property owner may seek relief. Great care and study has been given to the subject of Rights and Remedies, including Pleading, Parties, Evidence and Procedure. The subject of Taxation by Assessment has become a very important one, occupying the attention of Courts and Attorneys in a great number of cases. This work has been in preparation for a number of years, and every effort has been made to make it as valuable to the busy lawyer as possible. The Table of Contents is a minute analysis of the Whole subject. It not only gives a comprehensive scope of the subject, but also enables the reader readily to turn to the particular section in which any given point is treated. The index is very full and complete. The citation of authorities is very exhaustive, and parallel references to other than the official reports are given. The date of the lead ing case is always specified, and cases are cited down to final revision of page proof.
