TIME Publishers have the satisfaction to announce
j that the first volume Of this much expected
work is now nearly ready for delivery. II is upon
the plan Of Smiths Leading Cases, and is supposed
by competent Judges TO present claims to 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, 1t u believed, Will DC
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.

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 30 many compendious treaties upon the
actual state of the law. It is like Mr.. Smiths
Leading Cdsss, in plan, and mode Of annexation,
and extends this method to other titles not en-
braced in Mr. Smiths volumes, and il, in effect,
continuation of that work. Those who are familiar
SmitA's Leading dases, have an earnest Of the ca
liabilities of the editor Of the Select Decisions, for
the labor he has assumed. The notes, or rather es
says, that accompany the Select Decisions, occupy
more than one-half Of the volume, and are in fact
critical collation. Of all he american Cases, (up-
wards of $1,000 bearing upon the subjects dis

This volume by Mr. Hare is no less satisfactOry
than its predecessor by Mr.. Wallace. 1t is fully
are thirty in number chosen with great Judgment,

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 10
our standard law books. The science of law 10
only TO be adequately learned through the medium
Of adjudcated cases, and when the student has,
in the book before US, important and leading

considered, with ample and thorough notes, ambi-

alteration of both the professors and the students
