NOTICES OF THIS WORK
From The Pennsylvania Lar Journal for 4prii ls4s.

umc are, the whole subject Of Agency, Voluntary

Application of Payments, Negotiabity, and Me-
COLLATION. of Promissory Notes, Form, Time and

II will be perceived, by the enumeration Of titles
that the volume comprises subjects OF every day
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-
braccd in Mr. Smiths Volumes and is, in effect a
continuation of that work. Those who are familiar
with the last 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, rather es-
says, that accompany the Select Decisions occupy
more than one-half Of the volume, and in fact
a critical collation. of all the American Cases (up-
wards of 10000 bearing upon the subjects dis
cussed.

Gin an elaborate and thorough note to Sexton ".
Wheaton, and Salmon v. 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"
From the Pennsylvania LaD Journal, May, ls4s
This volume by MIR. Hare is no less satisfactory
than its predecessor by Mr.. Wallace. 1t is fully
equal to in every point ofvew TheSelect 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
standard law books. The science of law is
only TO be adequately learned through the medium
of adjudicaed 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, ambi-l
ton has an additional incentive and Incidence
ceases TO have an excuse.
1t has long been a part Of the practical instruo-
ton at the Dane Law School at Cambridge to
point out and comment on important adjudcaied
cases; and Mr.. Smiths Leading Cases has become
.snt h book s for for ne purpSse We do not entertain
will receive, as it deserves the same attentive con-
sideration OF both the professors and the students
OF that important and influential school of legal in
struction.
