Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Taxation, Including the Law of Local Assessments The decisions in this country on the subject of taxation have become so numerous, that it would be impossible to give abstracts of them all, Within any reasonable compass. The author has thought it preferable, instead of attempt ing a digest of them, to group the references about the con trolling principles. The tax systems of the several states are so dissimilar, that a mere digest of the cases is exceedingly liable to mislead, by giving, as a general rule of law, what is only a conclusion from a local law or custom. There are, or should be, general principles underlying all the cases; and an understanding of these will enable one to make use of decisions under the various tax systems without confusion.
