NOTICES OF THIS WORK.
From the Pennsylvania La,c Journal for Aprii, 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, Domicil, Infancy, Interest,
Application of Payments, Negotiability, and Ne,
gotiation Of Promissory Notes, Form, Time and

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 compendious 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 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 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 es-
saws 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

taken"

This volume by Mr. Hare IL no less satisfactory
than its predecessor by Mr.. Wallace. Ii Is fully
equal toll every point ofyiew Select Declsonf

and annotated with discrimination and the most
ample learning.
We arc satisfied that our friends, Messrs. Wal
lace and Hare, will receive the hearty thanks Of
the profession for this second joint contribution &c
our standard law books. The science OF law If
only 10 be adequately learned through the medium
of adjudcated 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

IL has long been part of the practical instruc
the Dane Law SCHOOL AT tdIlDfluBt,
point out and comment on important adJudicatef
cases; and MIR Smiths Leading Cases has become
textbook for the purpose. We do not entertain
n doubt but that Messrs. Wallace and Hare's wori
