TINE Publishers have the satisfaction 10 announce
that the first volume of this much expected
work Is now nearly ready for delivery. IL is upon
the plan of Smiths Leading Cases, and Is supposed
by competent Judges to present claims 10 the ateh
ton and favor of the profession not less striking

Cases The American Notes, 1t Is believed, Will be
found TO present accurate and complete view OF

This work is upon the plan of Smiths Leading

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
Union have been coated; 50 that the work presents

NOTICES OF THIS WORK
From the Perlnsylrani0 La,c Journal for Aprii lS4s.
The principal points illustrated in the first vol
ume are, the whole subject of Agency, Voluntary
Conveyances, Assignments to trustee for the
benefit of creditors, Domicil, Infancy, Interest,
Application of Payments, Negotiability, and Ne
gotiation of Promissory Notes, Form, Time and
manner of Notice, Power of partner to bind the
Firm, Incidents of Real Estate held by Firm, &c.
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 compendious treatises upon the
actual state OF the law. II is hike Mr.. SMITHS
Leading Cases, in plan, and mode of annexation,
and extends this method 10 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 Gases, have an earnest of the
liabilities of the editor of the Select Decisions, for
the labor he has assumed. The notes, or 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 Pennsylpania Latc Journal for Jam, lS4S
Gin an elaborate and thorough note to Sexton v.
Wheaton, and Salmon v Bennett, Mr. Wallace
reviews the whole law in relation 10 voluntary
veyances 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 Pennsylpdnia Lar Journal, May, lS4S
This volume by Mr. Hare l. no less satisfactory
than its predecessor by Mr.. Wallace, 1t is fully
equal toitn every point ofyew The Select Decisions
thirty in number; chosen with great judgment,
and annotated with discrimination and the most
ample learning.
We are satisfied that our friends, Messrs. Wal
lace and Hare, will receive the hearty thanks Of
the profession for this second Joint contribution 70
our standard law books. The science of law Is
only 10 be adequately learned through the medium
of adjudicated 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 10 have an excuse
Ii has long been part of the practical instruc-
ton at the Dane Law School al Cambridge, Ia
point out and comment important adjndlcated
cases: and MIR. Smiths Leading Cases has become
a textbook for the purpose. We do not entertain
a doubt but that Messrs Wallace and Hare's work
will receive, il deserves, the same attentive con-
sideration of both the professors and the students
of that important and influential school Of legal In
struction.
