Solomon Northup was born a free man in New York State. At the age of 33 he was kidnapped in Washington D.C. and placed in an underground slave pen. Northup was transported by ship to New Orleans where he was sold into slavery. He spent the next 12 years working as a carpenter, driver, and cotton picker. This narrative reveals how Northup survived the harsh conditions of slavery, including smallpox, lashings, and an attempted hanging. Solomon Northup was among a select few who were freed from slavery. His account describes the daily life of slaves in Louisiana, their diet and living conditions, the relationship between master and slave, and how slave catchers used to recapture runaways. Northup's first person account published in 1853, was a dramatic story in the national debate over slavery that took place in the nine years leading up to the start of the American Civil War.

This monograph is principally the work of the late Martin Norr. He completed a draft of the entire monograph but had not yet revised it when he died in late 1972. At that time, the integration of corporate and shareholder taxation was just beginning to become of widespread interest in the United States. With the increasing interest thereafter, the International Tax Program began to revise his manuscript, making as few changes as possible in the original draft. We had the benefit of criticism and analysis from Professor Richard M. Bird of the University of Toronto, now Director of the Institute of Policy Analysis there. In addition, Mr. Mitsuo Sato of the Ministry of Finance in Japan gave freely of his time in carefully suggesting changes throughout the manuscript. The present version of Chapter 3 owes a great deal to his additions and suggestions. Thanks are also due to Professor Hugh J. Ault of Boston College Law School for the Appendix, containing his description of the German integration system that became effective in 1977, which was first published in Law & Policy in International Business. Mr. Norr's interest in the subject of corporate and shareholder taxation developed while he was writing the International Tax Program's World Tax Series volume Taxation in France, published in 1966. The integration of French taxes on corporations and shareholders took place just after that volume was finished, but had been under discussion in France for some time before then.

1m September 1991 fand erstmals in Japan eine intemationale Tagung iiber ein Thema aus dem romischen Recht statt; sie wurde von der Kyushu Universitat (Fukuoka) veranstaltet. An ihr nahmen Wissenschaftler aus Japan und aus vielen europaischen Landem, sowie aus Korea teil. Das Thema "Mandatum und Verwandtes" bot eine Vielfalt von rechtsdogmatischen, rechtsvergleichen den und sozialgeschichtlichen Aspekten. Wie es der derzeitigen Forschungs situation entspricht, konnte es nicht darum gehen, eine systematische, wohl geordnete Darstellung der Dogmatik und Geschichte des Rechtsinstituts zu geben. Eher war, wenn nicht das Ziel, so doch das Ergebnis der Tagung die Demonstration der verschiedenen Moglichkeiten, mit einem solchen Thema umzugehen. Ohne die bereitwillige materielle und organisatorische Unterstiitzung durch viele japanische und deutsche Institutionen und Personen, ware weder die Tagung selbst, noch der Tagungsband zustandegekommen. Der Springer-Verlag erwies groBziigiges Entgegenkommen. Deutschsprachige Tagungsbesucher half en bei der sprachlichen Uberarbeitung der Manuskripte auslandischer Teilnehmer. Besonderer Dank gilt den Mitarbeitem am Leopold Wenger Institut der Universitat Miinchen. Ihre selbstlose Hilfe bei der Korrektur von Manuskripten und der Druckfahnen und bei der Herstellung des Quellenregisters trug ganz wesentlich dazu bei, daB der vorliegende Band erscheinen konnte."

This novel was originally published in 1859. Mayne Reid, a pre-eminent and popular writer, was primarily a novelist (1818-1883) who wrote adventure stories from just before the Civil War until his death in 1883. Reid's career included two periods in the U. S: 1840-49 and 1867-70. He had emigrated to the United States in his early twenties, reaching New Orleans in January, 1840, where he pursued a varied career as a shopkeeper, overseer of slaves, schoolmaster, and actor, with occasional forays into hunting and Indian warfare. Reid returned to England in 1849, and embarked upon a successful career as a writer of adventure novels and books for boys He was a close friend of Poe (though their writings were miles apart), played a gallant role in the Mexican War, worked as a journalist and wrote most of his first novel while in the United States. He was an influence on the young mind of Teddy Roosevelt, as Roosevelt reveals in his Autobiography; while Arthur Conan Doyle wrote in his 1890s essay "Juvenilia" that when young he always kept "Mr. Ballantyne or Captain Mayne Reid at my elbow"; Robert Louis Stevenson praised Reid in the Vailima Letters, and J. Frank Dobie has said he, "dared convey real information in his romances."
