Ronald E. Seavoy (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Review

“The great virtue of Ronald E. Seavoy's study of the political history of corporations in New York State is the detail he provides as to both the varieties of corporate entities chartered and the varieties of regulatory structures utilized by the New York legislature in its seventy-year search for a proper relationship to the changing forms of `private enterprise.' ... The research on which the book is based is exhaustive and impressive. A complete index makes the book a useful reference tool for those seeking information on the legislative histories of corporate enterprises begun during the first half of the nineteenth century.”–The Journal of American History
