TIME Publishers have the satisac tiont announce
il that the first volume of this much expected
work is now nearly ready for delivery. Ii is upon
the plan of Smiths Leading Cases and is supposed
by competent judges TO present claims 10 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 To present an accurate and complete view OF
the equity Jurisprudence of every State III the
Union, in respect to the subjects which come under
discussion.

NOTICES OF THIS WORK
From the Pennsylvania Lac Jo,rnalf for Arrl, 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, Negotability, and Ne
gotiation of Promssory Notes, Form, Time and
manner of Notice, Power of partner to bind the
! Firm, Incidents of Real Estate held by Firm &c.
Ii will be perceived by the enumeration of titles,
that the volume comprises subjects of every day
occurrence 10 the practitioner. In themselves they
furnish many compendious treatses upon the
actual state of the law. 1t is like Mr. Smiths
I 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 or preceding American Editions Of
Smiths Leading Gases, have an earnest OF the ca
pabilties Of the editor OF the Select DECISIONS for
/ the labor he has assumed. The notes, rather
says, that accompany the Select Decisions, occupy
more than one half of the volume, and are In fact
critical collation. of all the Anaerican Cases. Cup

! This volume by Mr.. Hare is no less satisfactory
/ than its predecessor by Mr.. Wallace Ii is fully
equal in every point ofvew. TheSeect 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 10
our standard law books The science Of law is
only To be adequately learned through the medium
Of adIudlCated cases, and when the student has,
4 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 additional incentive and Incidence

1t has long been a part of the practical instruC-
J ton at the Dane Law School al Cambridge, 10
point out and comment on important adJudlcatcd
cases; and MIR. Smiths Leading Cases has become
textbook for the purpose We do not entertain
doubt but that Messrs. Wallace and Hare's work
will receive il deserves, the attentive con-
sderation of both the professors and the students
Of that important and influential school Of legal in
struction.
