THE Publishers have the satisfaction TO announce
l. that the first volume of this much expected !
work Is now nearly ready for delivery. IL is upon
the plan OF Smiths Leading Cases, and is supposed
by competent judges 10 present claims 10 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, 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 10 the subjects which come under
discussion.

Ii 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 treatses upon the
actual state of the law. II is like Mr.. Smiths
Leading Cases, IN plan, and mode OF annexation,
and extends this method 10 other titles not en-
braced in Mr. Smiths voumes and is, in effect,
continuation of that work. Those who are familiar
with the last preceding American Editions OF
Smiths Ledding Cases, have an earnest OF the ca
liabilities of the editor OF the Select DECISIONS Tor
the labor he has assumed. The notes, rather es-
says, that accompany the Select Decisions, occupy
more than one-half of the volume, and III fact
a critical collation. of all the american Cases. Cup
wards of $1,000 bearing upon the subjects dis
cussed.

"ln an elaborate and thorough note TO Sexton v.
Wheaton, and Salmon V. Bennett, MIR. Wallace
reviews the whole law in relation voluntary con-
veyances in the United States, Pc ting 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, Is4s.
This volume by Mr. Hare is no less satisfactory
than its predecessor by Mr.. Wallace. IL is fully
equal every point ofview The Select Decisions
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 to
our standard law books. The science OF Law Ii
only 70 be adequately learned through the medium
Of adj Indicated 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, ambi-
ton has additional incentive and Incidence
ceases to have excuse.
1t has long been part of the practical instruc-
ton at the Dane Law School at Cambridge, To
point out aud comment 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 Hare's work
will receive il deserves, the attentive con-
sderaton Of both the professors and the students
of that important and influential school OF legal in
struCtlOn.
