TINE Publishers have the satisfaction to 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 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, it 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
discussion.

effect, continuation of that work. The cases con-

NOTICES OF THIS WORK
From the Pennsylvania La,o Journal for Aprii 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

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 treatlses 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 earnest OF the ca
liabilities of the editor of the Select Decisions for
the labor lac has assumed The notes, rather es-
says, that accompany the Select Decisions, occupy
more than one-half of the volume, and are in fact
critical collation. of all the american Cases, (up-
wards of 3,OOO,) bearing upon the subjects dis
cussed.

This volume by Mr. Hare is no less satisfactory
than its predecessor by MIR. Wallace. Ii is fully

and annotated with discrimination and the most
ample learning.
We satisfied that our friends, Messrs. Wal

the profession for this second joint contribution to
our standard law books The science of law ia
only to 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, ambi-
ton has additional incentive and Incidence
ceases to have excuse.
Ii has long been a part of the practical lnstruc-
ton at the Dane Law School at Cambridge, to
cases; and Mr.. Smiths Leading Cases has become
textbook for the purpose. We do not entertain
doubt but that Messrs. Wallace and Hare's work
viii receive, il Deserves the same attentive con-
Of that important and influential school Of legal in
struction.
