Published by The Equity Press; 1910 first edition. Details: "The Sherman law [1890] is a Magna Charta among the statutes of the United States. And this history of that law has been written to condense the light relevant thereto, which was originally diffused through some thousands of pages of speeches of statesmen and of decisions and opinions of judges." ~ from the preface"This history of the birth of the most famous antitrust statute of all is set forth in great detail and will be of great interest to lawyers and students of antitrust history. Emanating as a bill in 1889 from one of the most powerful men in Congress, John Sherman, a more elaborate and comprehensive bill drawn by another senator actually was the one enacted in 1890. However, because Sherman was the originator and the leading advocate, the law has always carried his name with it. Four months of Senate consideration provide valuable guides to congressional intent behind the law. The law's history is examined as interpreted by the courts through a number of presidential administrations through 1910." A fine addition for your bookshelf!
