| TINE Publishers have the satisfaction TO announce

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.

NOTICES OF THIS WORK

The principal points illustrated in the first vol
ume are, the whole subject of Agency Voluntary
| Conveyances, Assignments to a trustee for the
| benefit of creditors, Domic, Infancy, Interest,
| gotiation Of Promissory Notes, Form, Time and
manner of Notice, Power of partner To bind the
Firm, Incidents of Real Estate held by Firm, &c.
Ii 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
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 an earnest of the ca
liabilities of the editor of the Select Decisions, 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 in fact
critical collation. of all the american Cases, Cup

! This volume by Mr.. Hare is no less satisfactory
! than its predecessor by Mr.. Wallace. II is fully
equal in every point ofyiew TheSelect Decisions
are thirty in number; chosen with great judgment,
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
our standard law books The science of law is
| only To be adequately learned through the medium
Of adjudicaed cases, and when the student has, as
In the book before US, important and leading ones
not only pointed out to him. but fully and carefully
| considered, with ample and thorough notes, ambi-
ton has an additional incentive and Incidence
ceases 10 have an excuse.
1t 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
will receive it deserves, the attentive con-
sideraton of both the professors and the students
of that important and influential school of legal in
| struction.
