Excerpt from Digest of Legal Opinions of Thomas B. Paton: General Counsel of the American Bankers Association; 1908-1921 An attempt has been made in each case to write in concise form a statement of facts, followed by the opinion, together with such legal authorities as could be found. For the variety of subjects treated and their practical bearing upon banking opera tions, the bankers are solely responsible, as it is they who have voluntarily submitted ques tions on the problems confronting them in every day business. It would then seem to follow that the book has the advantage of containing a selection of subjects confined to those matters only which have been troubling bankers most and which have already proved of sufficient interest to cause them to request legal advice.
