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."
