THE Publishers have the satisfaction To announce
i that the first volume of this much expected
work is now nearly ready for delivery. 1t is upon
the plan of Smiths Leading Cases, and is supposed
by competent judges to present claims TO the atten-
ton and favor of the profession not less striking
than those which were offered by MIR. Smiths work.
The work has been annotated by Messrs. Hare and
Wallace in the same elaborate and thorough style
which distinguished their commentaries upon
Smiths 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.

This work is upon the plan of Smiths Leading

effect, continuation Of that work. The cases con-
sis of the most celebrated decisions in the Federal
Courts and the courts of the several States, upon

From the Pennsylvania Latv Journal for April, lS4S
The principal points illustrated in the first vol
ume are the whole subject of Agency, Voluntary
| Conveyances, Assignments to a trustee for the
| benefit of creditors, Domicil, Infancy, Interest,
| Application of Payments, Negotiability, and Ne
gotiation of Promssory Notes, Form, Time and
| manner of Notice, Power of partner to bind the
Firm, Incidents of Real Estate held by 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 annexation,
and extends this method to other titles not en-
| braced in Mr. 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 ca
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-haf OF the volume, and are in fact
critical collation. of all the american Cases, Cup

"ln an elaborate and thorough note to Sexton v.
Wheaton, and Salmon v. Bennett, MIR. Wallace
reviews the whole law in relation to voluntary
veyances in the United States, pointing out where
| the selected decisions have been sustained,
| rejected, condensing and reconciing the reason
ing or pointing out the Inconsistencies of the nice
and often wire-drawn distinctions which have been
| taken"
From the Pennsylpania La,D Journal, May, ls4s.
This volume by MIR. Hare is no less satisfactory
than its predecessor by Mr.. Wallace. 1t is fully
equal in every point ofview. TheSelect 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 to
| our standard law books. The science of law is
only to be adequately learned through the medium
of adjudicated cases, and when the student has,
in the book before US, important and leading ones
not only pointed out to him. but fully and carefully
considered. with ample and thorough notes, ambi-
| ton has an additional incentive and Incidence

Ii has long been part of the practical instruc-
ton at the Dane Law School at Cambridge, to
Il
| cases; and Mr.. Smiths Leading Cases has become
a textbook for the purpose We do not entertain
n doubt but that Messrs. Wallace and Hare's work
will receive il deserves the same attentive con-
sideraton of both the professors and the students
of that important and influential school of legal in
