TINE Publishers have the satisfaction to announce
Il that the first volume of this much expected
work is now nearly ready for delivery. Ii is upon
the plan of Smiths Leading Cases and is supposed
by competent Judges To present claims TO the aten-
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.

Clark Hare and ii. b. Wallace esqs., editors Of
the American edition of Smiths Leading Cases.
This work is upon the plan of Smiths Leading
Gases, and applies the same method of research
and illustration TO various important branches OF
the law which were not included therein and IL, IN
effect, continuation of that work The cases con.
sst 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 III the
Union have been collated; that the work presents

NOTICES OF THIS WORK
From the Pennsylvania Lam Journal for April, 1913.
The principal points illustrated in the first vol
| ume are, the whole subject of Agency, Voluntary
Conyeyances, Assignments to trustee for the
benefit of creditors, Domicil, Infancy, Interest,
| Application Of Payments, Negotiabilty, and Ne
| gotiation of Promssory 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 many compendious treatises upon the
actual state OF the law. II Is like Mr.. Smihs
Leading Cases in plan, and mode of annexation,
and extends this method TO other titles not en-
braccd 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, or 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 3,0OO,) bearing upon the subjects dis

''In elaborate and thorough note to Sexton v.

reviews the whole law in relation 10 voluntary con-
veyances in the United States pointing out where

| rejected, condensing and reconciling the reason
ing, pointing out the Inconsistencies of the nice
| and often wiredrawn distinctions which have been
| taken"
From the Pe,nsy lUaria La,o Journal, May, 1915.
| This volume by MIR. Hare is no less satisfactory
| than its predecessor by Mr. Wallace. 1t is fully
equatoitin 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 adjudicated cases, and when the student has as

ceases to have an excuse.
| Ii has long been 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, it deserves the same attentive con-
sideraton of both the professors and the students
of that important and influential school legal in
struction.
