and illustration 10 various important branches of
tho law which not included therein, and is, in
effect, continuation of that work. The cases con-
sst of the most celebrated decisions In the Federal

NOTICES OF THIS WORK.
From. The Pennsylvania Lar Journal for Aprii, ls4s.
The principal points illustrated in the first vol
umc arc the whole subject of Agency, Voluntary
Conveyances, Assignments trustee for the
benefit of creditors, Domicil, Infancy, Interest,
Application of Payments, Negotiability, 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 sc.
II will be perceived, by the enumeration OF titles,
that the volume comprises subjects OF every day
occurrence to the practitioner. Ia themselves, they
furnish so many compendious treatises upon the
actual state OF the law. Ii Is like AIT. Smith :
Leading Cases, in plan, and mode OF annexation,
and extends this method 10 other titles not en-
braccd 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, Tor
the labor he has assumed. The notes, or rather es-
saws that accompany the Select Decisions, occupy
more than one-half of the volume, and are in fac
critical collation. of all the american Cases, (up
wards of 3,oo0) bearing upon the subjects dis
cusscd.
From the Pennsylvania Lalc Journal for Jan, lo4s
"In an elaborate and thorough note to Sexton v
Wheaton and Salmon Bennett, Mr.. Wallace
reviews the whole law in relation to voluntary con
veyances in the United States, pointing out wher'
the selected decisions have been sustained, wer'
rejected, condensing and reconciling the reason
ing or pointing out the Inconsistencies Of the nice
and often wire-drawn distinctions which have beer
taken"
From The Pennsylvania Lar Journal, Nay, lS4s.
This volume by Mr.. Hare Is no less satisfactory
than it, predecessor by Mr. Wallace. II Is fully
equal 10 il in every point ofvlew ThcSclect Decisions
are thirty IN number; chosen with great judgment
and annotated with discrimination and the mos
ample lcaf ming.
We are satisfied that our friends, Messrs Wal
lace and Hare, will receive the hearty thanks o
the profession for this second joint contribution u
our standard law books The science of law /
only TO be adequately learned through the medium
oil adludiCated cases, and when the student has, a
in the book before Us, important and leading one
not only pointed out TO him. but fully anu carefully
considered, with ample and thorough notes, afnbl

ceases to have excuse.
Il mas long been part Of the practical instruc
ton al tho Dane Law School at Cambridge, I
cases; and Mr.. Smiths Leading Cases has bcconi
textbook for the purpose We do not entertai
q doubt but that Messrs. Wallace and Hare's wor
viii receive, IL deserves, the same attentive cor
sidcration Of both the professors and the student
OF that important and influential school of legal il
struction.
