TINE Publishers have the satisfaction to announce
i that the first volume OF this much expected
work is now nearly ready for delivery. II is upon
the plan of Smiths Leading Cases, and is supposed
by competent judges to present claims to 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 to the subjects which come under
discussion.

Leading Cases, in plan, and mode Of annexation,

"In elaborate and thorough note to Sexton v.
Wheaton, and Salmon " Bennett, Mr.. Wallace
reviews the whole law in relation to voluntary
veyances in the United States, pointing out where
he ted hay hpen ans upre
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 Pennsylpania Latc Journal, May, l848.
This volume by Mr. Hare is no less satisfactory
than its predecessor by MIR. Wallace. II is fully
equal in every point ofview The Select Decisions
thirty in NUMBER chosen with great judgment,
and annotated with discrimination and the most
ample learning.
We are satisfied that 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 is
only to be adequately learned through the medium
of adjudicated cases, and when the student has,
in the book before US, important and leading ones
only pointed to him, but fully and carefully
considered, with ample and thorough notes. ambi-
ton has additional incentive and Incidence
| ceases to have an excuse.
Ii has long been part of the practical instruc-
\ ton at the Dane Law School at Cambridge to
! point out and comment important adjudicated
cases; and Mr. Smiths Leading Cases has become
a text book for the purpose. We do not entertain
| a doubt but that Messrs Wallace and Hare's work
VIII receive as II deserves, the same attentive
sderation OF both the professors and the students
of that important and Influential school of legal in
struction.
