vINHE Publishers have the satisfaction TO announce
l. 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 We're offered by Mr. Smiths work.

| Wallace, in the same elaborate and thorough style
which distinguished their commentaries upon

Union, in respect to the subjects which under

NOTICES OF THIS WORK
From the Pennsylvania Laio Journal for Apri lS4S.
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, Negotability, 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, sc.
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 so many compendous 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 are familiar
with the last preceding American Editions of
| SmiMs 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-haf of the volume, and are In fact
critical collation. of all the american Cases, Cup
wards of $1,000 bearing upon the subjects dis
Cussed.

Gin an elaborate and thorough note to Sexton v.
Wheaton, and Salmon ". 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 reconciling the reason
ing, or pointing out the Inconsistencies of the nice
| and often wire-drawn distinctions which have been
| taken"

This volume by MIR. Hare is no less satisfactory
than its predecessor by Mr. Wallace. 1t is fully
equal in every point ofvew The 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 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 u.s. important and leading ones
not only pointed out to him. but fully and carefully
| considered with ample and thorough notes, ambi-
| ton has an additional incentive and Incidence
| ceases to have an excuse.
Ii has long been part of the practical instruc
tion 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
| doubt but that Mcssrs. Wallace and Hare's work
will receive, deserves, the attentive
sderation of both the professors and the students
! struction.
