Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
This erudite and well-researched treatise traces the origin of modern business corporations and analyzes the influence of unchartered bodies such as early American land companies in shaping them. Providing a fairly complete survey of land companies between 1750 and 1800, this book shows how, during that fifty-year period, they progressed from the partnership concept to the practical form of corporation.

A modest correction to the previous review,
By A reader (North Dakota, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Early American Land Companies: Their Influence on Corporate Development (Paperback)
Shaw Livermore, Jr., who passed away in October 2007, wrote _The Twilight of Federalism_. His father, Shaw Livermore, Sr., wrote _Early American Land Companies_. If at all like his son, the senior Livermore must have been a wonderful person also.

He was my friend and I `ll miss him. Bernie Klein Ann Arbor
