TINE Publishers have the satisfaction TO announce
i that the first volume of this much expected
work is now nearly ready for delivery. 1t 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, 1t 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.

NOTICES OF THIS WORK.

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, Negotiability, and Ne
! gotiation Of Promissory 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 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 volumes; and is, in effect,
continuation of that work. Those who familiar
with the last or preceding American Editions Of
Smiths 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
says, that accompany the Select Decisions, occupy
more than one-half Of the volume, and are in fact
critical collation. of all The Amsriccn Cases, (up-
| wards OF $1,000 bearing upon the subjects dis

veyances in the United States, pointing out where
the selected decisions have been sustained, were

/ We are satisfied that our friends, Messrs Wal

the profession for this second joint contribution to
our standard law books. The science of law Is
