TINE Publishers have the satisfaction TO announce

ton and favor of the profession, not less striking
than those which were offered by MIR. Smiths work.

Wallace, in the same elaborate and thorough style
which distinguished their commentaries upon
Smiths Leading Cases and the American Leading
Cases. The American Notes, il is believed, will be

sist OF the most celebrated decisions in the Federal

NOTICES OF THIS WORK.
From The Pennsylvania La,o Jomnalfn April, 1913.
The principal points illustrated in the first vol
ume are, the whole subject of Agency, Voluntary
Convcyanccs, Assignments to trustee for the
benefit of creditors, Domicil, Infancy, Interest,
Application of Payments, Ncgotiability, 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 so many compendious trcatises 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, a
continuation OF that work. Those who are familiar
with the last preceding American Editions Of
Smiths Leading Gases, have earnest of the
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
a critical collation. of all the american Cases. Cup
wards of 3,OOO,) bearing upon the subjects dis
cussed.

Gin elaborate and thorough note to Sexton "
! Wheaton, and Salmon V. Bennett, Mr.. Wallace
reviews the whole law in relation to voluntary con-
! vcyances in the United States pointing out where
the selected decisions have been sustained, were
rejected, condensing and reconciling the reason
ing, or pointing out the Inconsistencies of the nice
and often wirc-d drawn distinctions which have been
taken"
From The Pennsy iUd,lia Lar Journal, May, lSiS.
This volume by Mr.. Hare is no less satisfactory
than its predecessor by Mr. Wallace 1t is fully
equaltoitin every point ofview 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 20 be adequately learned through the medium
of adJudicated 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 TO have excuse
Ii has long been part Of the practical instruc-
! ton at the Dane Law School at Cambridge, TO
! point ont and comment on important adjudcatcd
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, rs il deserves, the same attentive con-
sideraton of both the professors and the students
Of that important and Influential school of legal in
struCtIon.
