"It is sometimes thought, and very often said, that political writing, after its special day is done, becomes more dead than any other kind of literature, or even journalism. I do not know whether my own judgment is perverted by the fact of a special devotion to the business, but it certainly seems to me that both the thought and the saying are mistakes. Indeed, a rough-and-ready refutation of them is supplied by the fact that, in no few cases, political pieces have entered into the generally admitted stock of the best literary things."
Excerpt from Railway Corporations as Public Servants This work contains the substance of a course of lectures delivered in May, 1907, at the Boston University School of Law. It is, to some extent, supplementary to a previous work on "Restrictive Railway Legislation," as it describes the development of such legislation since the passage of the Act to Regulate Interstate Commerce.

This reprint comes with a substantial new Introduction that puts the work in context and relates it to current scholarship in the field. It should interest historians generally as well as readers curious about how our legal system got its special modern character --
