Book Description

Excerpt from The Law of Charity Trusts Under Massachusetts Decisions These notes were published in pamphlet form in 1902. Since then many cases relating to charities have been before the Supreme Judicial Court. Some of these cases involve extensions of the principles of earlier decisions. Institutions of a character not pre viously passed upon have been held to be charitable. There have been many applications of the cy-pres doctrine, and some important cases on taxation and liability for torts. In this edition the notes have been brought down to include the decisions through 1917. The book has been rewritten and the arrange ment changed. The subjects of taxation and liability of charitable institutions for torts, which were not covered in the first edition, have been added.
