the selected decisions have been sustained, were
rejected, condensing and reconciling the reason

This volume by Mr.. Hare is no less satisfactory

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 to
our standard law books. The science Of law is
only to be adequately learned through the mediam
