1t will be perceived, by the enumeration Of titles
occurrence to the practitioner. In themselves they
furnish 30 many compendious treatises upon the
actual state of the law. 1t is like Mr.. Smitks
Leading Cases, in plan, and mode of annexation,
and extends this method to other titles not en-
braced in MIR. Smiths volumes; and is, in effect a
continuation of that work. Those who are familiar
with the last preceding American Editions of
smiths Leading Cases, have an earnest Of the ca
pabitie of the editor of the Select Decisions for
the labor he has assumed. The notes. or rather en-
says, that accompany the Select Decisions occupy
more than one-half Of the volume and are in fact
a critical collation. of all the Amerieon Cases. (up-
wards OF 3,oOO) bearing upon the subjects dis
cussed.

Wheaton, and Salmon Bennett, Mr.. Wallace
reviews the whole law in relation to voluntary con-
veyances in the United States, pointing out where
the selected decisions have been sustained, were
rejected, condensing and reconciling the reason
ing pointing out the Inconsistencies of the nice
and often e-drawn distinctions which have been
taken"
From The Pennsylvania LasO Journal. May, 1913.
This volume by Mr.. Hare is no less satisfactory
than its predecessor by Mr.. Wallace. It is fully
equalto 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 IL

Of adjudcated cases, and when the student has, ss

considered, with ample and thorough notes, ambi

cases. and Mr. Smiths Leading Cases has become
a textbook for the purpose. We do not entertain
doubt but that Messrs Wallace and Harc's WORK

sideration OF both the professors and the students
of that important and influential school of legal in
struction.
