| NOTICES OF THIS WORK.
From the Pennsylvania Lap Journal for april, ls4s.
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, Negotiability, and Ne
! gotiation of Promissory Notes, Form, Time and
| manner of Notice, Power of a partner to bind the
Firm, Incidents of Real Estate held by Firm, &c.
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 many compendious treatises upon the
| actual state of the law. 1t is like Mr.. Smith's
| 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 a
| continuation OF that work. Those who are familiar
with the last or preceding American Editions OF
Smiths Leading Cases, have earnest of the ca
liabilities of the editor OF the Select Decisions, Tor
the labor he has assumed The notes, or rather es-
says, that accompany the Select decisions, occupy
more than e-half of the volume, and are in fact
critical collation. of all the american Cases, Cup
wards of 10000 bearing upon the subjects dis
cussed.
From the Pennsylvania Ldtc Journal for jan, lS4S
"In an elaborate and thorough note to Sexton V.
| Wheaton,, and Salmon v. Bennett, Mr. Wallace
| reviews the whole law in relation to voluntary
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 ire-drawn distinctions which have been
| taken"
From the Pennsylvania Lam Journal, May, ls4S
This volume by Mr. Hare is no less satisfactory
than its predecessor by Mr.. Wallace. Ii is fully
equal in every point ofview heSelect Decisions
are thirty III number; chosen with great judgment,
and annotated with discrimination and the most
ample learning:
| 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 adiudicated 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 an additional incentive and Incidence
| ceases to have an excuse.
Ii has long been a part of the practical instruc-
| ton at the Dane Law School at Cambridge, 10
| point out and comment on important adJudlcated
cases; and Mr.. Smiths Leading Cases has become
a textbook for the purpose We do not entertain
| doubt but that Messrs. Wallace and Hare's work
will receive as it deserves the attentive con-
sderation of both the professors and the students
