# COMPENSATION CASES c+ ANNOTATED THE WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION, EMPLOYERS' LIABILITY THE COURTS OF LAST RESORT OF ALL THE STATES AND TERRITORIES AND THE ENGLISH AND CANADIAN COURTS. PUBLISHERS' ANNOUNCEMENT The extent of the field covered by NEGLIGENCE AND COMPENSATION CASES ANNOTATED (cited N. C. C. A.) has perhaps never been more strikingly exemplified than in this, the eighteenth volume of the series, which the publishers present with full confidence that the profession will find it in every respect fully up to the high standard of previous volumes. Principles of negligence law are constantly finding application in new relations, and the present volume gives subscribers to N. C. C. A. the benefit of the latest thought of the courts in a number of these relatively unchartered regions. Thus, there will be found two striking cases, carefully annotated, treating of the duties and liabilities of health officers and the extent to which their orders are subject to judicial control; an important decision of the United States Supreme Court relative to the liability of directors of national banks for negligence is exhaustively annotated; and the considerations determinative of the liability of a vehicle owner for injury to a gratuitously carried guest are presented in a note accompanying an unusually detailed discussion of that question in a recent Massachusetts case. In addition to these and other annotations dealing with questions in some degree unusual, the volume contains, as usual, a carefully selected series of annotations upon current topics of interest to the negligence lawyer. The growing importance of workmen's compensation law is also recognized by the inclusion of a group of carefully prepared monographic notes based upon some of the best-considered recent decisions of the courts in this field. This volume is accompanied by the consolidated Common Sense Index to volumes 11 to 18 N. C. C. A., which, in conjunction with the Common Sense Index covering volumes 1 to 10, renders accessible to the full the great body of negligence law presented in the 30,000 cases reported, either in full or by abstract, in the eighteen volumes which now compose "The Case-Winning Set."
