THE VALIDITY or VERBAL AGREEMENTS. Br MONTGOMERY
and Yeulork: Diossy Co.
The work before us, of which the first
volume only has issued from the press TO be followed by
one other, treatise the Validity of Verbal Agree
ments they affected by the Statute Of Frauds
This celebrated statute old the reign of Charles
IL, and although ii has been smplifed by repeated
dments in England where it originated, and by the
phraseoOgy employed by our states, which have all,
without exception, adopted IT, has confused and does
stfperpleX the bench and bar more perhaps than any
other legislative enactment. The statement is not
hazardous that n has cost million Of dollars xpOund
esch Of it's clauses The cases to which It's provisions
applicable various the engagements q men, and
lnhnte in number many almost have been the sdu-
acaioDs upon them. The only important attempts to
reduce these into something Ike philosophical class-
station, and discover or lay out paths through their intr
mazes the researches OF Judges when questions
tLF,ving the have before them. but their
s1p Orations have been partial only, and limited to
the necessities the controversy, infre
- atty dubious and conflicting. Hence it happens that
stute Of the brOadest application and really Of
~ most useful to he found in any code has been to the
q ent kind Of terra eognita TO the lawyer many
sions bewildering puzzle, and has caused many of
tl1ie concerned IN It's admins ration to doubt its
beneficial results, and not few to believe It
Inme productive Of mischief than good. The aim
m Mr. ThrOOp has been to elucidate the prin-
epes By which the statute is interpreted and the sup
elemental law which has TO surround and be in
grated on it, He has taken survey of the whole sub
Seot and although he cannot be called the pioneer We
