"The work is not a mere treatise upon tax titles but is rather a profound statesman-like and judicial treatise upon the sources of the power of taxation and the proper subjects upon which it may be exerted as well as the legitimate mode of its exercise. Judge Cooley has discussed the various questions connected with the subject in the light of principle and has presented with clearness and cogency the reasons underlying them as well as the authorities in their support. . In other words the author shows the principles whereon the successive steps of taxation rest whatever may be the particular language of any statute respecting the same.
