The cases reported herein comprise decisions in the highest Courts of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California (Supreme and Appellate), Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware (Supreme and Superior), District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois (Supreme and Appellate), Indiana (Supreme and Appellate), Indian Territory, Iowa, Kansas (Supreme and Appellate), Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri (Supreme and Appellate), Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey (Supreme and Errors and Appeals), New York (Court of Appeals and Appellate Division of Supreme Court), North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas (Supreme and Civil Appeals), Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming and the United States Supreme, Circuit Court of Appeals and Circuit and District Courts.

Reference to the TABLE OF CASES CLASSIFIED ACCORDING TO FACTS, which precedes the Index, will enable the practitioner to see at a glance the nature of the case reported herein, and thus act as a ready guide to a case in point. The TABLE OF CASES CITED, which follows the TABLE OF CASES REPORTED, shows numerous leading cases on NEGLIGENCE law cited and discussed in the cases reported in this volume.

SPECIAL NOTES and ANNOTATIONS bearing on the LAW OF NEGLIGENCE appear throughout the volume, notably on MINING ACCIDENTS, ICE AND SNOW ON SIDEWALKS, POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE TESTIMONY, RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR EMPLOYEES, STREET CAR ACCIDENTS, ETC., all of which NOTES show numerous recent decisions on the subjects treated.

The Publishers desire to call attention to the fact that a complete DIGEST of the series of AMERICAN NEGLIGENCE REPORTS (vols. I to 20 inclusive) is being prepared and will be ready early this year. This will be the most complete DIGEST on the Law OF NEGLIGENCE published, and should prove an invaluable aid to subscribers of AMERICAN NEGLIGENCE REPORTS in their search for cases in point covered by the series from 1897 to 1907. Cordial acknowledgment is given to MR. ALFRED J. HOOK, Librarian of the Law Library in Brooklyn, N. Y., for his able services in the preparation of the cases in this volume, and also to MR. WALTER J. EAGLE, editor of AMERICAN NEGLIGENCE CASES, for his services in arranging the matter for and seeing the volume through the press.

NEW YORK, February, 1907.
