VNHE Publishers have the satisfaction to announce

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

NOTICES OF THUS WORK.
From the Pennsyiuania Lao Journal for Apri lS4s.
The principal points illustrated in the first vol
ume 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 Promssory Notes, Form, Time and
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 day
occurrence to the practitioner In themselves, they
| furnish 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 MIR Smiths volumes; and is, in effect,
continuation of that work. Those who are familiar
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
says, that accompany the Select Decisions, occupy
more than one-half Of the volume, and are in fact
critical collation. of all the american Gases, Cup
wards of $1,000 bearing upon the subjects dis
| cussed.

SIN an elaborate and thorough note to Sexton v.
| Wheaton, and Salmon v. Bennett, Mr.. Wallace
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"
| This volume by Mr.. Hare is no less satisfactory
| than its predecessor by MIR. Wallace. II is fully
equal in every point ofview. TheSelect Decisions
are thirty in nurnber 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,

| II has long been part of the practical instruc-
ton at the Dane Law School at Cambridge, to
point out and comment on important adudicated
cases; and Mr.. Smiths Leading Cases has become
a text book for the purpose. We do not entertain
