TINE Publishers have the satisfaction TO announce
il that the first volume of this much expected
work is now nearly ready for delivery, 1t 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.

AMERICAN LEADING CAsEs.-.Select decisions Of
| american Courts in several departments of law,
with especial reference TO mercantile latr, by j. j.
| Clark Hare and ii. b. Wallace, esqs. editors OF
the American edition of Smiths Leading Cases.
| This work is upon the plan of Smiths Leading
| Cases, and applies the same method of research
and illustration to various important branches OF
the law which not included therein, and is In
effect, continuation of that work The cases con-
sst of the most celebrated decisions in the Federal
Courts, and the of the several States, upon
the subjects discussed accompanied by elaborate
notes, in which the reports Of all the States in the
Union have been coated; SO that the work presents
a complete view of american, Lar, upon the SUBJ
| jects which are examined
| NOTICES OF THIS WORK
| From The Pennsylvania La,D Journal for dpii 1913.
| The principal points illustrated in the first vol
ume are, the whole subject of Agency, Voluntary
Conveyances, Assignments to a trustee Tor the
benefit of creditors, Domicil, Infancy, Interest,
/ Application of Payments, Negotiability and Ne
1 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.
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. II is like Mr.. Smiths
4 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 Cases, have an earnest OF the ca
Fatalities Of the editor OF the Select Decisions, for
the labor he 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, Cup
wards Of 10000 bearing upon the subjects dis
cussed.
From the Pennsylvania Ldlp Journal for Jan, lS4S
'In elaborate and thorough note to Sexton ".
Wheaton, and Salmon v. Bennett, Mr.. Wallace
reviews the whole law in relation to voluntary con-
vcyances 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 Pennsylvania Lalc journal, May, lS4S.
This volume by Mr. Hare is no less satisfactory
than its predecessor by Mr.. Wallace. 1t is fully
equalot III every point ofview. 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, Mcssrs. 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 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 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 Mr.. Smiths Leading Cases has become
book for the purpose We do not entertain
doubt but that Messrs. Wallace and Hare's work
will receive, as 1t deserves the same attentive con-
of that important and Influential school illegal in
struction.
