| Notes by F. ii. White and O. d. Tudor, esquires,
with Additional Notes and References to Ameri-

lace, Editors of Smiths Leading Cases.
TINE Publishers have the satisfaction to
J. that the first volume of this much expected
| work is now nearly ready for delivery. II is upon
! the plan of Smiths Leading Cases, and is supposed
by competent Judges to present claims TO the aten
ton and favor of the profession, not less striking
| than those which were offered by Mr. Smiths work.
The work has been annotated by Messrs Hare and
! Wallace III the same elaborate and thorough style
which distinguished their commentaries upon
Smith Leading Cases and the American Leading
Cases. The American Notes, it is believed, will be
found to present an accurate and complete view OF
the equity jurisprudence of every State in the
Union, IN respect to the subjects which come under
discussion.

| AMERICAN LEADING CAsEs.--Seect decisions of
american Courts in several departments of law
with especial reference TO mercantile Laip, by j. l.
Clark Hare and H. b. Wallace, esqs., editors Of
the American edition of Smiths Leading Cases:
This work is upon the plan of Smiths Leading
Cases, and applies the same method of research
and illustration TO various important branches of
the law which were not included therein, and is, in
effect continuation of that work. The cases con-
5is Of the most celebrated decisions in the Federal
Courts, and the courts of the several States, upon
! the subjects discussed; accompanied by elaborate
notes. IN which the reports of all the States in the
Union have been collated that the work presents
| n complete view of american Lar, upon the SUBJ
| jccts which are examined.
| NOTICES OF THIS WORK
From the Pennsylvania La,c Journal for April, l54S.
The principal points illustrated in the first vol
umc are, the whole subject of Agency, Voluntary
Conveyances, Assignments to a trustee for the
| benefit of creditors, Domicil Infancy, Interest,
Application Of Payments. Negotability, and Ne,
! gotiation of Promissory Notes, Form, Time and
manner Of Notice, Power of partner to bind the
Firm, Incidents of Real Estate held by a Firm, &C.
1t will be perceived, by the enumeration of titles
that the volume comprises subjects of every day
occurrence TO the practitioner. In themselves, they
! furnish so many compendious treatises upon the
| actual state of the law. 1t is like Mr. Smiths
Leading Cases, in plan, and mode of annotation
and extends this method TO other titles not en-
braced IN MIR. Smiths volumes; and is in effect,
continuation of that work. Those who are familiar
with the last or preceding American Editions of
Smiths Leading Cases, have an earnest of the
liabilities of the editor of the Select Decisions for
the labor he has assumed. The notes, or rather
says, that accompany the Select Decisions, occupy
more than one half of the volume, and arc in fact
a critical collation. of all the american Cases. Cup

SIN an elaborate and thorough note to Sexton V.

reviews the whole law in relation to voluntary
veyances in the United States, pointing out where
the selected decisions have been sustained, were
! rejected, condensng and rcconciling the reason
ing, pointing out the inconsistencies Of the nice
and often wiredrawn distinctions which have been
| taken"
| From the Pennsylvania Lar Journal, May, lS4S
This volume by Mr.. Hare is no less satisfactory
1 than Predecessor W Mr. Wallace lie ft1llv
equaltoitin every point ofview- TheSelec Decisions
are thirty in number; chosen with great judgment,
| and annotated with discrimination and the most
| ample learning.
We are satisfied that our friends Messrs Wal
lace and Hare, will receive the hearty thanks of
the profession for this second joint contribution 10
our standard law books. The science of law is
only TO be adequately learned through the medium
of adJudcatcd cases, and when the student has,
III the book before us, important and leading
not only pointed out to him, but fully and carefully
considered, with ample and thorough notes, ambi-
| ton has an additional incentive and Incidence
ceases to have an excuse.
! 1t has long been part of the practical instruc-
| ton at the Dane Law School at Cambridge, TO
! point out and comment on important adjudicated
| cases; and Mr.. Smiths Leading Cases has become
a text book for the purpose. We do not entertain
a doubt but that Messrs. Wallace and Hare's work
will receive, it deserves the same attentive
sideration of both the professors and the students
OF that important and influential school of legal in
! struction.
