It 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 treatises upon the
actual state of the law. 1t is like Mr. Smiths
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 Cases, have an earnest OF the ca
liabilities of the editor of the Select Decisions, for
the labor he has assumed. The notes, or rather CO.
says, that accompany the Select Decisions, occupy
more than one-half Of the volume, and are in fact
critical collation. Of all The american Cases, Cup

the profession for this second joint contribution TO
our standard law books. The science of law II
