Ii will be perceived, by the enumeration OF titles,
that the volume comprises subjects OF every day
occurrence 10 the practitioner. In themselves they
furnish many compendlous treatlses upon the
actual state of the law Ii is like Mr.. Smith
Leading Cases, in plan, and mode OF annexation,
and extends this method TO other titles not en-
braced in Mr. Smiths volumes; and is in effect,
continuation OF that work. Those who are familiar
with the last or preceding American Editions Of
SMITHS Leading Gases, 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 oneehalf of the volume, and are IN fac
critical collation. of all the Amsrican Cases, Cup
