Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Federal Income Tax Under the Act of 1894
The object of this work is to furnish a practical treatise for the benefit of lawyers, government officials, and laymen, on the interpretation of the new law im posing an income tax. The authors have scrupulously abstained from expressing any opinion upon the econ omical merits or the constitutionality of the act. The book, however, contains a chapter in which is a summary of the arguments which may be used on either side of the principal constitutional objections that may be raised to the whole act or any particular provisions of the same. This was prepared by Mr. Foster, and the greater part of it is extracted from an unpublished work by him on Constitutional Law. Mr. Foster has also prepared the chapter on Remedies of the Taxpayer. Nearly all the rest of the book was first drafted by Mr. Abbot; but each of the authors has care fully edited the work of the other and is responsible for any statement in the book, except that for the state ments in Chapter II. Mr. Foster, and for those in Chapter III. Mr. Abbot, is solely responsible. They desire to acknowledge their obligations to the Notes on the Revised Statutes by Messrs. Gould and Tucker, and also to the work of Dowell upon the English Income Tax; both of which have been of great assist ance to them.
