II 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 compendous treatlses upon the
actual state of the law Ii Is like lr. SMITHS

and extends this method 10 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
SHhS Leading Cases, have earnest of the ca
liabilities of the editor of the Select Decisions, for
the labor he has assumed The notes, or rather es-
says, that accompany the Select Decisions, occupy
more than one-half of the volume, and III fact

yeyances in the United States, pointing out where
the selected decisions have been sustained, were

and often wire drawn distinctions which have been
taken"
From The Pennsylvania Lar Journal, Nay, ls4s.
This volume by Mr. Hare Is less satisfactory
than its predecessor by Mr.. Wallace. II Is fully
equal TO in every point ofview The Select 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
