Excerpt from A Brief Survey of the Jurisdiction and Practice of the Courts of the United, 1921 Legislation since 1914 (particularly the act of September 6, 1916) has so changed the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, that no statement of 1914 approximates accuracy in 1920. This edition attempts to state the latest statutes and decisions, and so bring the subject down to date. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
