rTHE Publishers have the satisfaction TO announce
Il that the first volume of this much expected

the plan of Smiths Leading Cases, and is supposed
by competent judges TO present claims 10 the aten
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 III the
Union in respect to the subjects which come under
discussion.

effect, continuation OF that work. The cases con-
sst OF the most celebrated decisions in the Federal
Courts and the courts OF the several States, upon
the subjects discussed; accompanied by elaborate
notes, IN which the reports of all the States IN the
Union have been collated; 80 that the work presents

NOTICES OF THIS WORK
From The Pennsylvania La,D Jotnnalfor Aprii, 1913
The principal points illustrated in the first vol
ume are, the whole subject of Agency Voluntary
Conveyances, Assignments 10 a trustee for the
benefit of creditors, Domicil Infancy, Interest,
Application OF Payments, Negotability, and Ne
sotiation of Promssory 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 day
occurrence TO the practitioner In themselves they
furnish so many compendious treatises upon the
actual state Of the law. IL is like Mr.. Smiths
Leading Cases, in plan, and mode Of annexation,
and extends this method 10 other titles not
braced in MIR Smiths volumes; and il, in effect,
contin uation Of that work, Those who familiar
with the last or preceding American Editions of
SmiH's Leading Cases, have earnest Of the
liabilities Of the editor of the Select Decisions, for
the labor he has assumed The notes, or rather cs-
says, that accompany the Select Decisions, occupy
more than one half OF the volume, and in fact
critical collation. of all the american Gases, Cup
wards OF 3,OOO,) bearing upon the subjects dis
cussed.
From the Pennsylvania Ld,c Journal for Jan, lS4S
"In elaborate and thorough note to Sexton V.
Wheaton, and Salmon Bennett, Mr.. Wallace
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
ing, pointing out the Inconsistencies of the nice
and often wire-drawn distinctions which have been
taken"
From the Pennsylvania Lar Journal, Nay, lS4S
This volume by Mr. Hare il no lees satisfactory
than its predecessor by Mr.. Wallace. IL is fully
equal TO II IN every point ofvew TheSolect Decisions
are thirty in number; chosen with great Judgment,
and annotated with discrimination and the most
ample learning.
We 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 is
only 10 be adequately learned through the medium
Of adjudicated cases, and when the student has,
IN the book before us, important and leading ones
not only pointed out 10 him. but fully and carefully
considered, with ample and thorough notes, amb-
ton has additional incentive and Incidence
ceases to have an excuse.
IL has long been a part Of the practical in.truc-
ton ut the Dane Law School at Cambridge. 90
point Out and comment important adludicatcd
cases; and Mr.. Smiths Leading Cases has become
u textbook for the purpose. We do not entertain
a doubt but that Messrs. Wallace and Hare's work
will receive az it deserves, the same attentive
sderation of both the professors and the students
of that important and influential school Of legal in
struction.
