NOTICES OF THIS WORK.
From the Pennsyiuania LaU JounaIfor Apil, lS4s.
The principal points illustrated in the first VOL
ume are, the whole subject of Agency, Voluntary
Conveyances, Assignments to trustee for the
Application Of Payments, Negotiability, and Ne
gotiation of Promssory Notes, Form, Time and
manner of Notice, Power of 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 cay
occurrence to the practitioner. In themselves, they
furnish so many compcndious treatiscs upon the
actual state of the law. 1t is like Mr.. Smifh's
Leading Cases, in plan, and mode of annotat ton,
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
liabilities of the editor of the Select Decisons for
the labor he has assumed. The notes. or rather es-
says, that accompany the Select Decisions, occupy
more than one-half Of the volume, and are in fact
a critical collation. of all The american Cdses, Cup

This volume by Mr.. Hare is no less satisfactory
than its predecessor by Mr.. Wallace. Il is fully

We are satisfied that our friends, Messrs. WAL

1t has long been part of the practical instruc-

point out and comment on important adiudicated
cases; and Mr. Smiths Leading Cases has become
text book for the purpose. We do not entertain
doubt but that Messrs. Wallace and Hare's work

OF that important and influential school Of legal in
