About this book
Ancient, Curious, and Famous Wills by Virgil M. Harris contains a document in which Aristotle sets out dispositions for his property and instructions for administering his affairs. Aristotle's directions name Antipater to undertake the general carrying out of his last wishes and administration of everything in case death should surprise him. The document provides for assistants to take care of property on behalf of the children and Herpylis until Nicanor can manage the affairs, with his consent.
The section on trust companies describes institutions in the United States and other countries as the best mediums for administering wills in recent years. The section cites an institution in Melbourne, Australia, which quotes Tennyson's lines about people who may come and go while the speaker continues for ever.
