Bogert remains the standing desk reference in the law of trusts. The review treats the work as such: as a tool for the trustee, the counsel to the trustee, and the serious student of equity.
Particular attention is given to the apparatus — the supplements, the pocket parts, the citation tables — that maintains the work against the steady accretion of statute and decision.
The review closes with a note on the place of the encyclopedic treatise in modern practice, alongside the Restatement and the uniform act.
