than those which were Offered by Mr.. 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, 1t 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

NOTICES OF THIS WORK
From the Pennsylvania Lao Journal for April, lS4S
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, Domicil, 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 so 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 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
says, that accompany the Select Decisions, occupy
more than one-half of the volume, and are IN fact
Il
wards of 3,00O,) bearing upon the subjects dis
cussed.
From The Pennsylvania Law Journal for JAM, ls4S
''In an elaborate and thorough note to Sexton v.
Wheaton, and Salmon v. Bennett, MIR. Wallace
reviews the whole law in relation to voluntary
veyances in the United States, pointing out where
the selected decisions have been sustained, were
rejected, condensing and reconciling the reason
ing pointing out the Inconsistencies of the nice
and often wire-drawn distinctions which have been
taken"
From the Penns ylvania Latc Journal, May, ls4s.
This volume by MIR. Hare is no less satisfactory
than its predecessor by Mr.. Wallace. 1t is fully
equal in every point ofview TheSelect Decisions
are thirty in number; chosen with great judgment,
and annotated with discrimination and the most
ample learning.
We 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,
In the book before as, important and leading ones
not only pointed out to him, but fully and carefully
considered, with ample and thorough notes, ambi-
ton has additional incentive and Incidence
ceases to have an eHcuse.
IL has long been part of the practical instruc-
ton at the Dane Law School at Cambridge, to
point out and comment on important adjudicated
cases; and MIR. Smiths Leading Cases has become
a textbook 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 impor and influential school of legal in
struction.
