NOTICES OF THIS WORK
From the Pennsylvania Lap Journal for Aprl, lS4S.
The principal points illustrated in the first vol
ume are, the whole subject of Agency, Voluntary
Conveyances, Assignments TO trustee for the
benefit of creditors, Domicil, Infancy, Interest,
Application of Payments, Negotiability, and Ne
gotiation Of Promissory Notes, Form, Time and
manner of Notice, Power of partner to bind the

1t will be perceived, by the enumeration of titles,
that the volume comprises subjects OF every day
occurrence 10 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 preceding American Editions Of
SmtUIs 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-half of the volume, and in fact
critical collation. of all the american Cases, Cup

We satisfied that our friends Messrs. Wal.

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,

ton at the Dane Law School Cambridge, to
point out and comment on important adjudicated

VIII receive, as il deserves, the attentive
sideraton of both the professors and the students
