TIME Publishers have the satisfaction 10 announce
i 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 atten-
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, in the same elaborate and thorough style
| which distinguished their commentaries upon
Smiths Leading Cases and the American Leading
Cases. The American Notes, il 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.

We are satisfied that friends Messrs Wal

1t has long been part of the practical instruc-
