TNHE Publishers have the satisfaction 10 announce
i that the first volume of this much expected
work Is now nearly ready for delivery. IL 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 IL is believed, will be
found 10 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.

IL 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 compendlous treatises upon the
actual state of the law. Ii is like Mr. Smiths
Leading Cases, IN plan, and mode OF annexation,
and extends this method 10 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 earnest of the ca
liabilities of the editor of the Select Decisions for

This volume by Mr.. Hare is no less satisfactory
than ITS predecessor by Mr.. Wallace. Ii is fully
equal every point ofview The Select Decisions

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 10
standard law books. The science of law is
only 10 be adequately learned through the medium

Ii has long been part Of the practical instruc-
