TIME 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 aten-
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
From The Pennsylvania La,D Journal for Apiil, 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, Domcil, Infancy, Interest,
Application of Payments, Negotiability, and Ne
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.
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 80 many compendious treatises upon the
actual state of the law. 1t is like Mr.. Smiths
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,
continuation of that work Those who are familiar
with the last 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, rather es-
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
wards OF $1,000 bearing upon the subjects dis

''In elaborate and thorough note to Sexton v.
Wheaton, and Salmon v. Bennett, Mr. Wallace
reviews the whole law in relation to voluntary con-
veyances in the United States, pointing out where
the selected decisions have been sustained, were
rejected, condensing and reconclllng the reason
ing, pointing the Inconsistencies of the nice
and often wire drawn disnc tons which have been
taken"
From the Pennsylvania Ldtc Journal, Nay, lS4S.
This volume by Mr.. Hare is no less satisfactory
than its predecessor by Mr.. Wallace. 1t is fully
equal ofview The Select Decisions
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 adjudicated cases. and when the student has, az
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 to have excuse.
1t has long been part OF the practical instruc-
ton at the Dane Law School at Cambridge, 10
point out and comment important adJudicated
cases; and Mr.. Smiths Leading Cases has become
a text book for the purpose. VIC do not entertain
n doubt but that Messrs. Wallace and Hare's work
will receive, it deserves, the attentive con-
sideration of both the professors and the students
of that important and Influential school Of legal in
struction.
