TIME Publishers have the satisfaction 10 announce
Il that the first volume OF tins much expected
work is now nearly ready for delivery. IL is upon
the plan of Smiths Leading Gases, 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 Mr. 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, will be
found to present an accurate and complete view OF
the equity jurisprudence of every State in the
Union, in respect to the subjects which come under
discussion.

american Courts in several departments of law,
with especial reference to mercantile Lato by j. i.
Clark Hare and H. b. Wallace, esqs., editors of
the American edition of Smiths Leading Cases.
This work is upon the plan OF Smiths Leading
Cases, and applies the same method OF research
and illustration to various important branches OF
the law which not included therein, and Is, in
effect, continuation of that work. The cases con-
sst Of the 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 collated that the work presents
a complete view of american LaU, upon the SUBJ
jects which are examined.
NOTICES OF THIS WORK.
From the Pennsylvania Lao Journal for april, 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, Negotiabiity, and Ne
gotiation OF Promissory Notes, Form, Time ana
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 treatlses 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 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
critical collation. of all the american Cases, Cup
wards of 3,OOO,) bearing upon the subjects dis
cussed.
From the Pennsypania Lap Journal for JAM, lS4s
''In 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 reconciling the reason
ing, pointing out the inconsistencies of the nice
and often wire-drawn distinctions which have been
taken"
From the Pennsylvania La,r Journal, May, lS4S.
This volume by Mr. Hare is no less satisfactory
than its predecessor by MIR. Wallace. IL Is fully
equal il in every point ofview The Select Decisions
are 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 to
our standard law books The science of law Is
only to be adequately learned through the medium
of Indicated 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 additional incentive and Incidence
ceases to have an excuse.
Ii has long been a part of the practical instruc-
ton at the Dane Law School at Cambridge, TO
point out and comment on important adjudicated
cases; and Mr. Smiths Leading Cases has become
a textbook for the purpose We do not entertain
doubt but that Messrs. Wallace and Hare's work
will receive, as it deserves, the same attentive con-
sderation of both the professors and the students
of that important and influential school OF legal in
struction
