Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trusts and the Public This volume is not a treatise on trusts, but a collection of articles and addresses previously published, discussing the different aspects of the subject as they have arisen during the last twelve years. The first one appeared in 1887 as a series of editorials in the New York Commercial Bulletin, now the Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin, and was published in revised form in the Political Science Quarterly issued by Columbia University, for September, 1888. This was really about the first attempt seriously to discuss the trust question in its economic and social aspects. It was followed in the next issue of the- Quarterly by an exhaustive article on the legal aspects of trusts, by Judge Theodore W. Dwight, then the head of the Columbia Law School. From that time on the subject has grown and attracted more and more of public attention, until it has now become an absorbing topic of public discussion. During this period I have also discussed the subject in the Social Economist its successor Gunton's Magazine, the New York Independent, and in various public addresses. The editions of the periodicals containing these essays and addresses have in many instances been exhausted, so that several of them are now out of print.
