TJNHE Publishers have the satisfaction 10 announce
i that the first volume of this much expected

Wallace, in the same 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

NOTICES OF THIS WORK.
From the Peansyluania Law Journal for April ls4s.
The principal points illustrated in the first vol
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
COLLATION. Of Promissory Notes, Form, Time and

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 many compendious treatlses upon the
actual state of the law. 1t is like Mr.. Smith
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 are familiar
with the last preceding American Editions OF
Smiths Leading Gases, nave an earnest OF the ca
pabilies 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 onehalf of the volume, and are In fact
critical collation. of all the american Cases, (up-
wards of 10000 bearing upon the subjects dis
cussed

''In an elaborate and thorough note to Sexton v
Wheaton, and Salmon Bennett, Mr.. Wallace
reviews the whole law in relation TO voluntary con-
yeyances in the United States, pointing out where
the selected decisions have been sustained, were
rejected condensing and reconciling the reason
ing, pointing out the inconsistencies OF the nice
and often wire-drawn distinctions which have been
taken"
From the Pennsylvania Law Journal, May, ls4s
This volume by Mr.. Hare Is no less satisfactory
than its predecessor by Mr.. Wallace. II is fully
equal to in every point ofyiew 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 oil
