“The ten chapters in eighty-two pages give a clear, concise, and readable history of the litigation [in the Northern securities case], including the genesis of the idea of a holding company and the causes of organization, the action of the state authorities and the federal government, with an analysis of the decisions in the main case, and in the ancillary litigation over the liquidation of the company. The appendix gives a number of the briefs or documents of the litigation in a form convenient for reference.”—Yale R.

“The style is clear and forcible. In some places, particularly in the introductory chapters it would seem that the author had studied conciseness at the expense of the clearness which would have been gained by fuller amplification of the narrative. The author is manifestly familiar with the material and thorough and accurate research is shown throughout. Full justice is done to the dissenting as well as the prevailing opinions.” Frederick N. Judson.
