TIME Publishers have the satisfaction to announce

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 MIR. Smiths work.

Wallace. in the same elaborate and thorough style
which distinguished their commentaries upon

NOTICES OF THIS WORK.
From the Pennsyluania LasD Journal for Apvil, 1913.
The principal points illustrated in the first vol
ume are, the whole subject of Agency, Voluntary
benefit of creditors, Domicil. Infancy, Interest,
Application of Payments, Negotiabity, 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, &c.
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 30 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
Smiths Leading Cases, have 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 Amnican Cases, (up-
wards of s,OOO,) bearing upon the subjects dis
cussed.

ain an elaborate and thorough note to Sexton ".
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 reconciling the reason
ing, or pointing out the Inconsistencies of the nice
and often wire-drawn distinctions which have been
taken"
From the Pemmsylvomia Lasp Journal, May, lS48.
This volume by Mr.. Hare is no less satisfactory
than its predecessor by Mr. Wallace 1t IL fully
equal in every point ofvew 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,
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 an excuse.
IL has hong been. part of the practical instruc-
ton at the Dane Law School at Cambridge, 10

cases; and Mr.. Smiths Leading Cases has become
textbook for the purpose. We do not entertain
n doubt but that Messrs. Wallace and Hare's work
