TINE Publishers have the satisfaction to announce

work is now nearly ready for delivery II is upon
the plan of Smiths Leading Cases, and is supposed

ton and favor of the profession, 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

with especial reference to mercantile Lac, by j. j.
Clark Hare and ii. b. Wallace, esas. editors of
the American edition of Smiths Leading Cases
This work is upon the plan of Smiths Leading
Cases, and applies the method of research
and illustration to various important branches Of
the law which were not included therein, and is, in
effect, continuation of that work. The
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 coated; that the work presents
complete view of american La,D, upon the sub

NOTICES OF THIS WORK.
From the Pennsylvania Lap Journal for Apyil, l846.
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, Negotiablity, and Ne
gotiaton of Promissory Notes, Form, Time and
manner of Notice, Power of partner to bind the
Firm, Incidents of Real Estate held by Firm, SC
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. Ii 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, a
continuation of that work. Those who are familiar
with the last or preceding American Editions of
SMITHS Leading Cases, have an earnest Of the ca
pabilies of the editor of the Select Decisions, for
the labor he has assumed. The notes, 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 Cases, Cup
wards of 3,OOO,) bearing upon the subjects dis
cussed.

.'In 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"
From the Pennsylvania La,c Journal, May, lS4s
This volume by MIR. Hare is no less satisfactory
than its predecessor by MIR. Wallace. II is fully
equal in every point ofview TheSeect Decisions
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
our standard law books. The science OF law is
only TO be adequately learned through the medium
of adjudcated cases, and when the student has,
in the book before us, important and leading
not only pointed out to him. but fully and carefully
considered, with ample and thorough notes, ambi-
ton has additional incentive and Incidence
ceases to have an excuse.
Ii has long been part of the practical instruc-
| ton at the Dane Law School at Cambridge, to
point out and comment on important adjudicated
cases; and Mr.. Smiths Leading Cases has become
| textbook for the purpose. We do not entertain
a doubt but that Messrs. Wallace and Hares work
will receive il deserves the attentive con-
sideraton OF both the professors and the students
OF that important and influential school of legal in
struction.
