Marshall's decision in favor of Dartmouth established ""an assurance for all investors in American corporate enterprises that the terms upon which they had committed their capital could not be unilaterally altered by a state. At a time when corporations were first being widely used, it thus encouraged the expansion of American business enterprise… The decision vested the Corporation with indestructible contract rights… even against its creator"" (Schwartz, 86, 111). This account contains all the material related to the case, including the arguments of Webster, Wirt and others, with the Opinions by Chief Justice Marshall, Justice Story, and Washington.

Description
New York: Henry Holt & Co, 1874. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. 8vo. Original publisher's mustard cloth, stamped in black adorned with a spider's web in which is perched a long-armed spider. ¶ First Edition in English and the First American edition. The first title was translated by Mrs. Sophie M. Butts; the second by William H. Browne. This book was first published in Russia in 1872-3, but was not published in England until 1895. Holt published six other Turgenev works in his Leisure Hour Series. A hint of age, else an unusually nice copy for a book from this series. This copy has a later state of the ads on the endpapers as usual (but seldom noted).
