Acknowledgments

I wish to acknowledge my gratitude to a number of persons whose assistance was helpful in the bringing of this book to publication.

First, I would like to thank Robert Love who, knowing of my interest in this subject matter, first encouraged me to write this book more years ago than I care to remember. Shortly thereafter, I received valuable assistance from the late F. A. Harper and Kenneth Templeton, who helped me to focus the scope of this inquiry.

I must also acknowledge the help provided by Mills F. Edgerton, Jr., of Bucknell University Press, as well as Julien Yoseloff and the editors of Associated University Presses. I further wish to express my gratitude to Janet Knoedler for her critical review and analysis of my work. Her perspective and constructive suggestions helped greatly to improve the original manuscript. I also wish to thank my daughters—Heidi, Gretchen, and Bretigne—for their invaluable assistance in helping to produce the graphics contained in this book. I also want to acknowledge the help of Jeannie Nicholson and Martha Fink.

Acknowledgment must also be made to the Southwestern University Law Review, which published portions of my research as separate articles in volumes 10 and 20 of the law review. I wish also to acknowledge the following permissions to reprint copyrighted materials contained in this book:
