TIME Publishers have the satisfaction to 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 Judge to present claims to the atten
ton and favor of the profession, not less striking
than those which were offered by MIR. Smiths work.
| The work has been annotated by Messrs. Hare and
| Wallace, in the elaborate and thorough style
which distinguished their commentaries upon
Smiths Leading Cases and the American Leading
Cases The American Notes, II Is believed, Will be
found to present accurate and complete view OF
the equity jurisprudence of every State in the
Union, in respect to the subjects which come under
discussion.

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 compendous 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, Tor
the labor he has assumed. The notes, rather es-
says, that accompany the Select Decisions, occupy
more than one-haf Of the volume, and are IN fact
critical collation. of all the american Cases, (up
wards of 10000 bearing upon the subjects dis
cussed.

| This volume by Mr.. Hare is no less satisfactory
| than its predecessor by Mr.. Wallace. II Is fully
equal toit in every point ovew The Select 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 IL
only to 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, aInbl-
| ton has an additional incentive and Incidence
| ceases to have excuse
Ii has long been part Of the practical lnstruc-
| ton at the Dane Law School at Cambridge, To
| point out and comment on important adjudicated
| cases; and Mr.. smiths Leading Cases has become
textbook for the purpose. We do not enter tam
| a doubt but that Messrs. Wallace and Hare's work
will receive, il deserves, the same attentive con-
sderation of both the professors and the students
Of that important and influential school Of legal in
struction.
