A Treatise On The Law Of Deeds Vol 1 Of 3

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Deeds, Vol. 1 of 3: Their Form, Requisites, Execution, Acknowledgment, Registration, Construction and Effect; The Alienation of Title to Real Property by Voluntary Transfer; Together With Chapters on Tax Deeds and Sheriff's Deeds The lapse of ten years since this treatise was written has rendered a new edition necessary. During that time I have examined the cases that have been decided since the first edition went to press, and have made such use of them as seemed best adapted to this edition. Some of them are simply affirmations of well-established principles of law, and their citation would serve no other purpose than as cumu lative authorities to lists already too numerous. Others in volve only questions of fact; others still are based upon special statutes, but many which state no new principle of law yet show its application to some novel condition of affairs, or make clear some rule on which courts have not agreed. Many new sections have been added to the text; others have been rewritten or enlarged, and ample additions have been made to the notes. I have at all times kept in mind the fact that a work intended for a practicing lawyer should contain many differ ent features, and I have in the insertion of new matter fol lowed the same general outlines described in the original preface as the plan of this treatise. The enormous number of new cases considered has necessitated the extension of the work to three volumes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
