TINE Publishers have the satisfaction to 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 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 distng uished 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
Union, in respect 10 the subjects which come under

NOTICES OF THIS WORK.
From the Pennsylvania Lac Josrnalfo April. l84S.
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
Firm, Incidents of Real Estate held by Firm, &c.
II will be perceived, by the enumeration of titles,
that the volume comprises subjects OF every day
occurrence to the-practitoner 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 familiar
with the last preceding American Editions of
Smiths Leading Cases. have earnest of the
liabilities of the editor Of the Select Decisions, for
the labor he has assumed. The notes, rather
says, that accompany the Select Decisi0ns occupy
more than one half of the volume and are in fact
| critical collation. of all the american Cases. Cup

reviews the whole law in relation to voluntary con-

and often wire-drawn distinctions which have been
taken"
From the Pennsyipania La,o Journal May, ls4s.
This volume by Mr. Hare is no less satisfactory
than its predecessor by MIR. Wallace. 1t is fully
equal 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 satisfied that 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
| only to be adequately learned through the medium
of adjudicated cases, and when the student has,
in the book before us, important and Leading
not only pointed out to him, but fully and carefully
considered, with ample and thorough notes, ambi-
| ton has additional incentive and Incidence
| ceases to have excuse.
II has long been part Of the practical instruc-
| ton at the Dane Law School at Cambridge, to
point out and comment on important adjudicated
cases; and Mr. Smiths Leading Cases has become
| a textbook for the purpose. We do not entertain
| doubt but that Messrs Wallace and Hare's work
will receive, asst deserves, the attentive con-
sideration Of both the professors and the students
of that important and influential school of legal in
struction.
