Cases and Materials on the Law of Sales. By Lawrence Vold

handle is hein.journals/clqv27 and id is 330 raw text is: CORNELL LAW QUARTERLY Although in certain cases there are definite advantages in the Rush plan, the problem of interlevel functional and financial relationships must be worked out more satisfactorily before the plan will receive as wide use as the author desires. The book is replete with facts-numerous excerpts from leading pertinent cases, portions of state constitutions, and supporting letters from leading muni- cipal authorities throughout the country. This procession of data seems to subordinate the generalizations which should have been given more promi- nence. The chapter Obstacles to City and County Consolidated and the concluding one, Results of the City-County Consolidated, which are two of the shortest in the book, might have been developed more fully.

In the preface the editor says, that he has sought to select cases which vividly exemplify business practices now current in the field of marketing of goods and has tried to avoid cases whose facts are obsolete as measured by current marketing practices. Most of the cases selected were decided within the last twenty years, and many of them within the last five years.1 An inspection of the cases furnishes confirmation. Occasionally a section begins with a case from the last century, but elsewhere such cases are rare indeed. The number of decisions subsequent to the publication of his text in 1931 is astonishing. The cases have been well chosen and edited. There is a table of authors of the cited texts and articles. The appendix contains the relevant statutes and includes copies of commercial instruments A few of the sections are introduced by notes by the editor, of which the *Assistant in Government, Cornell University. 1P. ix.
