Excerpt from Official Opinions of the Attorneys-General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Vol. 1: From 1891 to 1898 Inclusive Since that year the practice of annexing copies of the opin ions of the attorney-general to his annual report has been uniform. Inasmuch, however, as they are not indexed, and are scattered through numerous volumes, the opinions have become of little value for purposes of reference. To meet this difficulty, the attorney-general was authorized, by Resolves of 1898, chapter 95, to collect and publish in a volume, properly indexed and digested, such of the official opinions heretofore published as an appendix to the annual reports of the attorney-general as he may deem to be of public interest or useful for reference. The present volume is issued in execution of the authority conferred by that resolve. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
