THE Publishers have the satisfaction 10 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 atten-
ton and favor of the profession not less striking
than those which were offered by Mr.. Smiths work.

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 10 present accurate and complete view OF
the equity Jurisprudence of every State in the
Union, in respect to the subjects which come under
discussion.

NOTICES OF THIS WORK.
From the Pennsylpnnia Lar Journal for April, 1913.
The principal points illustrated in the first vol
uine are, the whole subject of Agency, Voluntary
Conveyances, Assignments to a trustee for the
benefit of creditors, Domicil, Infancy, Interest,
Application of Payments, Negotiability, and Ne.
gotiation 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 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
with the last preceding American Editions Of
Smiths 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 in fact
a critical collation. Of all the american Cases, Cup

reviews the whole law in relation to voluntary con-
veyances 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 Pennsypania L.aD Journal May, ls4s.
This volume by Mr.. Hare is no less satisfactory
than its predecessor by Mr.. Wallace 1t is fully
equal in every point ofvew. 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 adJudicaed cases, and when the student has, as
In the book before US, important and leading ones
not only pointed out TO him, but fully and carefully
considered, with ample and thorough notes, amb-
ton has additional incentive and Incidence
ceases TO have an 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
textbook for the purpose. We do not entertain
n doubt but that Messrs. Wallace and Hare's work
viii receive, il deserves, the attentive con-
sideration Of both the professors and the students
of that important and Influential school of legal in
struction
