sist Of the most celebrated decisions in the Federal
Courts. and the courts Of the several States upon

| NOTICES OF THIS WORK.
From the Pennsyyvania LosD Journal for April, ls4s.
The principal points illustrated in the first vol
une are, the whole subject Of Agency, Voluntary
Conveyances, Assignments to trustee for the
benefit of creditors, Domicil, Infancy, Interest,
! Application Of Payments, Negotiability, and Me-
| gotation of Promissory Notes, Form, Time and
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 many compendious treatises upon the
actual state of the law. It is like Mr.. Smitks
Leading Gases, 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 for preceding American Editions Of
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, or rather
! says that accompany the Select Decisions, occupy
more than one-half of the volume, and are in fact
critical collation. of all ts american Cases, Cup
wards of 3,O0O) bearing upon the subjects dis
| cussed.
From the PennsyIUania Lato Journal for JAM, 1913
ain an elaborate and thorough note to Sexton v.
| Wheaton, and Salmon v. Bennett, Mr.. Wallace
reviews the whole law in relation to voluntary con-
| veyances in the United States, pointing out where
| the selected decisions have been sustained were
| rejected, condensing and reconcling the reason
ing, pointing out the Inconsistencies of the nice
and Otter wire-drawn distinctions which have been
taken"
This volume by Mr.. Hare is no less satisfactory
than its predecessor by Mr.. Wallace. 1t is fully
equal tot every point ofview. The Select Decisions
are thirty in NUMBER chosen with great judgment,
and annotated with discrimination and the most
ample learning
We satisfied that our friends, Messrs Wal
lace and Hare, will receive the hearty thanks of
the profession for this second Joint contribution tn
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 excuse
4 IL mas long been part OF the practicA lnstruc-
! ton at the Dane Law School at Cambridge, to
point out and comment important adjudicated
cases; and MIR. Smiths Leading Cases has become
text book for the purpose We do not entertain
a doubt but that Messrs. Wallace and Hares work
will receive, as it deserves the same attentive con-
sideration of both the professors and the students
of that important and influential school of legal in
struction.
