It is safe to say TINT, so far az the lawyers ot
Illinois are also poets and scientists, they will
feel inclined to distrust the poetry and science
above conveyed; and, so far as their education
in these respects has been neglected, the guam
tum which can be furnished IN chancery trea-
tiso is too small to be very useful.
>, We do not mean, by giving undue space to
these eccentrictes Of taste in collateral matters
illinois are under to AIr. Hill for the pains, con-
densation, research, and accuracy displayed in
the general character Of the work. It has the
merit OF being an original work, not rewriting
OF any heretofore in existence; and, as tho
number Of lawyers in Illinois is hardly large
enough to give promise OF sales proportion
ate to the labor and cost OF compiling
it, it will be gratefully received, especially
BY tho younger naombers Of the profession.
We trust, however, it's sale will by no means
be limited to Illinois. Chancery.practice and
equity -jurisprudence are essentially unchanged
and tho same in all the States; whether under
the codes or the old system. While, in common
law practice, the changes arc radical, in equity
they are superficial and insignificant. This will
cntitle Mr. Hills work to d liberal acceptance in
other States, and this. ne doubt not, it will re-
ceive.

This work covers a field OF the law on which
no American treatise had previously been pre-
pared, aud hence collects in one volume m array
Of learning which has heretofore been scattered
through many English and American dgests and
treatises It is edited in the best style of legal
editing: The arrangement is comprehensive and
methodica1, and the mode Of getting up the work
is free from cruditios and carelessness: The
paragraphs are headed with brief catch-words,
which conveniently indicate the substance Of the
matter contained. Tho subject is q more diver
sifed one in its applications than might be in
ferred from it's unity of title. The first seven
chapters relate to the mode Of ente1ing
and vacating Judgments, and their Ta1i-
ous kinds; and then follow chapters
on the persons affected by them, on
on impeaching judgments, on the Judgment lien,
On judgment as evidence. On their assignment,
actions on scire facias. pleading, satisfaction,
regersed judgments, reliof in equity from, for
eign, in rem, ETC., etc. Tho style is clear, brief
and precise, free from the authors speculations,
and confined strictly to the statement Of the
law, if it has been uniformly decided, and, il
not, then OF the extent OF the conflict Of de-
cision English as well as our Federal and al
the State reports, have been copiously drawn
work as one deserving wido national sale, and
3 place in the library Of every good lawyer.
