TINE Publishers have the satisfaction to announce
Il that the first volume Of this much expected
work is now nearly ready for delivery. It is upon
the plan of Smiths Leading Gases, and is supposed
by competent judges to present claims to the atten
ton and favor of the profession not less striking
than those which 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

It 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 CGses, in plan, and mode of annexation,
and extends this method to other titles not en-
braced in Mr. Smiths volumes; and 10, 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
liabilities of the editor of the Select Decis;0as 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 in fact

"In elaborate and thorough note to Sexton "
Wheaton, and Salmon w. Bennett, Mr.. Wallace
reviews the whole law in relation to voluntary con-
yeyances in the United States, pointing out where

ample learning. ~

the profession for this second Joint contribution tn
our standard law books. The science of law ia

ceases to have excuse.
II has long been part of the practical instruc-
| ton at the Dane Law School at Cambridge, to
point out and comment ON important adiudicated

textbook for the purpose. We do not entertain
a doubt but that Messrs. Wallace and Hare's work
will receive as it deserves, the same attentive
