TINIE Publishers have the satisfaction to announce
i that the first volume of this much expected
work is now nearly ready for delivery. IL is upon
the plan of Smith s Leading Cases, and is supposed
by competent judges to present cams 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, il 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.

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 so many compendlous treatlses upon the
actual state of the law. 1t is like Mr.. SmiH S
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 preceding American Editions oil
Smiths Leading Cases, have an earnest Of the ca
liabilities 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 TACT
a critical collation. of all the american Cases, Cup
wards of 10000 bearing upon the subjects dis
| cussed.

the profession for this second joint contribution TO
our standard law books The science of law is
only TO be adequately learned through the medium
of Indicated cases and when the student has, as
