TIME Publishers have the satisfaction to 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, it is believed will be
found to present an accurate and complete view Of
the equity jurisprudence of every State in the

braced III Mr. Smiths volumes; and is, in effect a
continuation of that work. Those who are familiar
with the last or preceding American Editions of
SsiDs'S Leading Cases, have an 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 are IN fact

reviews the whole law in relation 10 voluntary con-
veyances in the United States, pointing out where
the selected decisions have been sustained were
rejected, condensing and reconciling the reason
