JNHE 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 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, 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
discussion.

Application OF Payments, Negotiability, and Ne
gotation of Promissory Notes, Form, Time and

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,
braced in Mr. Smiths volumes; and is, in effect,
continuation of that work. Those who 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, rather es-
says, that accompany the Select Decisions, occupy
more than one half Of the volume, and in fact
a critical collation. of all the american Cases, Cup
