law which he is investigating arises. Following that section, he will find every decision which interprets that section, so far as i has been passed upon by the courts of any state which has adopted that Act. Owing to the fact that most persons desiring to interpret a section of the Act know only the number of the section, as the Act has been adopted in his own state, the writer has prepared a table of cross-references whereby the user of the book will be able readily to discover the section in the Uniform Act corresponding to the section of the Act of his own state which he is investigating. The table of cross-references to each Act immediately precedes that Act. As a specific example: suppose one desires to find a set of citations interpretating Section 4173 of the Arizona Code. By turning to the cross-reference index immediately preceding the Negotiable Instruments Law, he will find that Section 4173 of the Arizona Code corresponds to Section 28 of the Uniform Negotiable Instruments Law. Then turning to Section 28 of the Negotiable Instruments Law, he will find the complete list of all the citations arising under that section in any States which have passed that Uniform Law.

Some few states in passing one or another of the Uniform Laws have altered the wording and thereby perhaps the meaning of some of the sections as they were promulgated by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, but wherever such a change has been made, foot notes will indicate the change.
