Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Federal Statutes Annotated, Supplement, 1912, Vol. 1: Containing All the Laws of a Permanent and General Nature Enacted by the Second and Third Sessions of the Sixty-First Congress and by the Sixty-Second Congress Prior to Jan. 1, 1912 The statutes collected in this Supplement connect, without break or duplication, with those contained in the 1909 Supplement to federal statutes, annotated. They are the general, permanent, and public acts passed at the second and third sessions of the Sixty first Congress, and all such acts passed at the first and second sessions of the Sixty-second Congress down to January 1, 1912. As in the 1909 Supplement, these acts are classified according to the scheme of titles in the main work, and in using this Supplement the reader should examine the corresponding title to locate the late, amendatory, or repealing legislation upon the topic under consideration. The cross-references are unusually abundant, and pains have been taken to prepare an index which is both exhaustive and usable. The notes of cases decided under these recent acts are necessarily few. Under the various sections of the new Judicial Code will be found full historical and explanatory notes which are intended to lighten the practitioner's labor in working under this important statute. The usual tables of titles, Revised Statutes sections, and statutes chronologically arranged are given at the beginning of the first volume. The last half of the first volume and all of volume two are devoted to the supplemental notes. These connect with the notes in the original work and annotate the acts found in the 1909 Supplement. The aim has been to present all the decisions construing any federal statute which have appeared since the editorial work on the earlier volumes of the set was completed. The arrangement is by title, volume, page, and section as the statutes are found in preceding volumes, and the investigator has merely to turn to the corresponding title, volume, page, and section as shown by the captions in this Supplement to find the late cases. The omission of a title or of page and section captions implies that no new cases have been found. The fresh notes on the Bankruptcy Act are specially voluminous. For this reason, and because the amendments to the original act are numerous, an exception has been made as to this title, and the entire act as amended is given in connection with the supplemental notes.
