than those which were offered by Mr.. Smiths work.

with especial reference To mercantile Latc, by j. l.
Clark Hare and II. b. Wallace, esqs., editors of
the American edition of Smiths Leading Gases.
This work is upon the plan of Smiths Leading
Cases, and applies the same method OF research
j and illustration to various important branches Of
the law which were not included therein, and is in
effect, continuation of that work. The cases con-
sist of the most celebrated decisions in the Federal
Courts, and the courts of the several States, upon

notes, in which the reports of all the States in the
Union have been colated; that the work presents

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, Negotiabillty, 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, sc.
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
SnnM's 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
a critical collation. of all the american Cases, Cup
wards of $1,000 bearing upon the subjects dis
cussed.

"ln an elaborate and thorough note to SextonV.
Wheaton, and Salmon v. Bennett, Mr.. 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 reconcilng the reason
ing or pointing out the inconsistencies of the nice
and often wire drawn distinctions which have been
taken"
From the Pennsylvania La,D Journal, May, ls4S.
This volume by Mr.. Hare is no less satisfactory
than its predecessor by Mr.. Wallace. 1t is fully
equal every point ofview. TheSelect 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
our standard law books. The science of law is
only to be adequately learned through the medium
Of adudicated 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 an additional incentive and Incidence
ceases TO have an excuse.
1t 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
text book for the purpose. We do not entertain
doubt but that Messrs Wallace and Hare's work
will receive, as it deserves, the attentive
sderation of both the professors and the students
of that important and influential school Of legal in
struction.
