TIME Publishers have the satisfaction to announce
| / that the first volume of this much expected
work is nearly ready for delivery. II 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 MIR. 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, viii be
found to present an accurate and complete view OF
! the equity Jurisprudence of every State III the
Union in respect to the subjects which come under
! discussion.

Cases, and applies the same method OF research
and illustration 10 various important branches OF
the law which were not included therein, and Is, IN
effect, continuation of that work. The cases con-
sist OF the most celebrated decisions in the Federal
Courts, and the courts of the several States, upon
the subjects discussed; accompanied by elaborate
notes in which the reports OF all the States in the

NOTICES OF THIS WORK
From ue Pennsylvania Lam Journalfor April lS4S.
The principal points illustrated in the first vol
ume are, the whole subject of Agency, Voluntary
! Conveyances, Assignments TO a trustee for the
benefit of creditors, Domcil, Infancy, Interest,
Application of Payments Negotability, and Ne
! sotiation of Promissory 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
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 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 fact
a critical collation. of all the american Cases. Cup
wards of 10000 bearing upon the subjects dis
cussed.
From the Pennsylvania La,o Journal for JAM, lS4o
''In an elaborate and thorough note to Sexton "
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 reconcing the reason
ing, pointing out the inconsistencies of the nice
and often wire drawn distinctions which have been
taken"
From the Pennsylvania Latp Journal, Man. lS4S.
This volume by Mr. Hare is no less satisfactory
| than its predecessor by Mr.. Wallace. 1t is fully
in every point ofview. TheSelect 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 to
our standard law books. The science of law Is
only to be adequately learned through the medium
of ad Indicated 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.
1t has long been a part of the practical instruc-
ton at the Dane Law School at Cambridge to
point out and comment important adjudicated
cases; and Mr.. Smiths Leading Cases has become
a textbook for the purpose We do not entertain
n doubt but that Messrs. Wallace and Hare's work
will receive as 1t deserves the attentive con-
sideraton of both the professors and the students
of that important and Influential school of legal in
struction.
