TIME Publishers have the satisfaction TO 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
The work has been annotated by Messrs. Hare and
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
Union, in respect to the subjects which come under
discussion.

Cases. and applies the same method Of research
and illustration to various important branches of
the law which not included therein and is, in
effect, continuation of that work. The cases
sis of the celebrated decisions in the Federal

NOTICES OF THIS WORK.
From the Pennsylvania LG,c Journal for Apvil, lS4S.
The principal points illustrated in the first vol
urne are, the whole subject of Agency, Voluntary
Conveyances, Assignments to trustee for the
benefit Of creditors, Domici, Infancy, Interest,
Application Of Payments. Negotiability, 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 cay
occurrence to the practitioner In themselves, they
furnish SO many compcndious treatiscs 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 v0lumes and is, in effect, n
continuation of that work. Those who are familiar
with the last or preceding American Editions Of
Smiths Leading Cases, have earnest Of the ca
liabilities of the editor of the Select Decions for
the labor he has assumed. The notes, or rather es
says, that accompany the Select Decisions, occupy
more than one-haf Of the volume, and are in fact
critical collation. of all the AmericGn Cases, Cup
wards Of $1,000 bearing upon the subjects dis
cussed.
From the PennsylDania LaD Journal for JAM, ls4s
''In an elaborate and thorough note to Sexton w.
wheaton, and Salmon v. 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 reconciing the reason
ing, or pointing out the Inconsistencies of the nice
and often wire-drawn distinctions which have been
taken"
From the Pennsyivania Lasc Journal Nov l64S
;, This volume by Mr.. Hare is no less satisfactory
than its predecessor by Mr. Wallace. 1t is fully
equal 1t 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 10
our standard law books. The science of law ia
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 ones
not only pointed out to him, but fully and carefully
considered, with ample and thorough notes, aInbi-
ton has an additional incentive and Incidence
ceases to have an excuse.
1t has long been part Of the practical instruc-
ton at the Dane Law School at Cambridge to
point out and comment on important adjudicated
oases; ana mr.. Smiths Leading Cases has become
doubt but that Messrs. Wallace and Hare's work
VIII receive, as il deserves, the same attentive con-
sideration Of both the professors and the students
OF that important and influential school of legal in
struction.
