ABOUT THE VOLUME
This Article is taken from the Volume xiii of Harvard Law Review.
This article was published a long time ago when there was no
difference between Civil and Criminal wrongs.
This was the review, which was entirely composed of ideology and
opinions.
Like the other volumes of the review, no corporate law, no
criminal and no civil liability is too much.
Just a glimpse of the some articles in this volume would show us
the way that, the law in those ages was not so rigid as now.
