TIME Publishers have the satisfaction 10 announce
Il that the first volume of this much expected
work is now nearly ready for delivery. IL is upon
the plan of Smiths Leading Cases, and is supposed
by competent judges 10 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 elaborate and thorough style
which distinguished their commentaries upon
Smiths Leading Cases and the American Leading
Cases. The American Notes, ii 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.

AMERICAN LEADING CAsEs.-Select decisions Of
Arnericdn Courts in several departments OF law,
with especial reference TO mercantile Lar, by j. j.
| Clark Hare and ii. b. Wallace, esqs., editors of
| the American edition of Smiths Leading Cases.
This work is upon the plan of Smiths Leading
Cases, and applies the same method OF research
and illustration to various important branches OF
the law which were not included therein and Is, In
effect continuation of that work. The cases con-
sist of the celebrated decisions in the Federal
Courts, and the courts of the several States, upon
! the subjects discussed; accompanied by elaborate
notes. in which the reports of all the States in the
Union have been collated that the work presents
a complete view OF Ana'icdn Ldtc, upon the sub
! jects which examined.
NOTICES OF THIS WORK.
From the Pe,nsyluania Lac Journal for April, lS4s.
! The principal points illustrated in the first vol
| ume are, the whole subject of Agency, Voluntary
/ Conveyances, Assignments to IA trustee for the
benefit of creditors, Domicil, Infancy, Interest,
| Application of Payments, Negotiabiity, 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.
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 many compendious treatises upon the
actual state of the law. II 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, a
continuation of that work. Those who familiar
with the last 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
says, that accompany the Select Decisions, occupy
more than one-half of the volume and are in fact
critical collation. of all the american Cases, Cup
wards of 3,000,) bearing upon the subjects dis
cussed.
From the Pennsylvania Lato Journal for jan, lS4s
@In elaborate and thorough note to Sexton ".
Wheaton, and Salmon v. Bennett, Mr.. Wallace
reviews the whole law in relation to voluntary
veyances in the United States, pointing out where
the selected decisions have been sustained were
| rejected, condensing and reconcing the reason
ing, pointing out the Inconsistencies OF the nice
and often wire-drawn distinctions which have been
| TAKEN
From the Pennsylvania La,D Journal, Nay 1913.
| This volume by Mr.. Hare is no less satisfactory
| than its predecessor by Mr.. Wallace. II is fully
equal in every point ofview. TheSeect 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
| only to be adequately learned through the medium
of adjudicated cases, and when the student has, as
! in the book before us, important and leading
not only pointed to him. but fully and carefully
considered, with ample and thorough notes, ambi-
| ton has additional incentive and Incidence
! ceases to have an excuse.
| Ii has long been a 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 doubt but that Messrs. Wallace and Hares work
will receive as il deserves, the attentive
sderation of both the professors and the students
of that important and influential school OF legal in
struction.
