contains all the Acts of Congress of a general and permanent nature from January 1, 1920, to January 1, 1921.

This late legislation is classified under appropriate titles, and thoroughly indexed. In addition to bringing the Acts of Congress down to January 1, 1921, this Supplement brings the notes in the original work down to date. These supplemental annotations collect all the decisions which have construed any federal statutory provision. They are placed under captions giving the title, volume, page, and section of the previous volumes, and the investigator has merely to turn to the corresponding places in the Supplement to find the late decisions.

REVISED EDITION

ROSE'S NOTES

ON

U. S. SUPREME COURT REPORTS

NOW COMPLETE

Gives a complete judicial history of every case in the U. S. Reports.

Citations are from all jurisdictions.

Contains nearly 450,000 citing cases or twice as many as were contained in the first edition.
This edition has brought to light a vast amount of Federal Law which was hitherto lost.
In chronological order it takes up each case decided by the Supreme Court and traces
each principle in it through all State and Federal cases which rest in authority
on it, or which have limited or denied the authority of it, thus scientifically giving
its judicial history.

Every lawyer practicing in the Federal Courts should own this set.
