Sinopsis

Excerpt from Principles of the Law of Personal Property: Intended for the Use of Students in Conveyancing

The object Of the editors Of the present edition Of this work has been to accommodate Mr. Williams' Treatise to the United States, by incorporating in the notes the American law; they have also occasionally cited and discussed the English law. They have endeavored to make the book useful to the American profession, both as an elementary composition for the student, and as a book Of reference for the practitioner. The editors have rarely indulged in original researches, but it will be sufficient proof Of their industry, to state that more than thirty-five hundred cases have been referred to in their notes, and in almost every instance where a citation has been made, the original book has been consulted, and when practicable, the Opinions Of the Judges have been quoted rather than the syllabus Of the reporter of their decisions, or any abstract of such judgments. An index Of the American cases, and of the additional English authorities referred to in the notes to this edition, accompanies the book, by which any decision cited in those notes may be readily found.

If it be true, as the author modestly tells his readers in the preface to the first edition Of his work, that no text book of the law can be completely accurate, how very much less must be the approach to perfection by annotators.
