TINE Publishers have the satisfaction to
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 10 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, III 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 LEADING CAsEs.-Select decisions Of
american Courts in several departments OF law,
with especial reference TO mercantile lao, by J. l.
Clark Hare and III. 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 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 collated so that the work presents

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 a trustee for the
benefit of creditors Domicil, Infancy, Interest,
Application of Payments, Negotiability, and Ne
COLLATION. 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 10 the practitioner In themselves, they
furnish SO many compendious treatises upon the
actual state of the law. Ii is like Mr.. Smiths
Leading Gases, 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 or preceding American Editions Of
Smiths Leading Gases, 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 arc In fact
critical collation. of all The american Cases, Cup
wards Of $1,000 bearing upon the subjects dis
cussed.
From the Pennsylvania Ldtp Journal for Jan, lS4S
''In an elaborate and thorough note to Sexton v.
Wheaton, and Salmon V. Bennett, MIR. Wallace
reviews the whole law in relation TO voluntary con-
veyanccs 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 Pennsylusnia La,c Journal Nay, lS4S.
This volume by MIR. Hare is no less satisfactory
than its predecessor by Mr. Wallace 1t is fully
equal 10 it in every point ofview TheSeect 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 10
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
IN the book before us important and leading ones
not only pointed out 10 him, but fully and carefully
considered, with ample and thorough notes, anbi-
ton has additional incentive and Incidence
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
text book for the purpose. We do not entertain
a doubt but that Messrs Wallace and Hare's work
will receive, il deserves, the attentive
sderation of both the professors and the students
of that important and influential school of legal in
struction.
