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 adiudicated cases. and when the student has, as
in the book before US, important and leading once
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 excuse.
1t 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 MIR. Smiths Leading Cases has become
a text-b book for the purpose. We do not entertain
doubt but that Messrs. Wallace and Hare's work
will receive as it deserves the same attentive
of that important and influential school legal in
