Now in Press, and will be published early in January, 

 THE AMERICAN LAW 



OF 



REAL ESTATE, 



A NEW, GREATLY ENLARGED AND LMPROVED EDITION. 

 BY FRANCIS HILLIARD, 



COUNSELLOR AT LAW. 



In two large octavo volumes, 

 Beautifully printed, and bound in best law sheep. 



This book is designed a^ a substitute for Crmse''s Digest, occupying the same 

 position in American Law which that work has so long covered in the English. 

 While it contains all that portion of the law of England which is applicable to 

 this country, it embodies all the statutes and adjudged cases of all the states of 

 the Union, thus presenting a complete elementary treatise for the use of students 

 and practitioners in this country. The plan of the work is such as to render it 

 equally serviceable IN ALL THE STATES, containing as it does the various 

 modifications of the law as laid down for MASSACHUSETTS and MISSOURI, 

 for MAINE and LOUISIANA ; thus presenting advantages which are possessed 

 by no other treatise on the subject before the public. In this edition are inserted 

 the statutes and decisions which are subsequent to the former edition. These 

 are very numerous, and render the work at least one third larger than in the 

 original form, bringing the view of the law on this subject, down to the present 

 time, more fully and completely than is to be found elsewhere. That the author 

 has succeeded in his attempt to present this difficult subject in a clear and useful 

 form may be seen from the following recommendations from distinguished jurists 

 of different states, in respect to the first edition. 



This edition will consist of two large octavo volumes of near eight hundred 

 pages each, printed on large type, and with thick white paper, and bound in the 

 best style. 



Judge Story says: 



" I think the work a very valuable addition to our present stock of juridical literature. It em- 

 braces all that part of Mr. Cruise's Digest, which is most useful to American lawyers. But its 

 higher value is, that it presents in a concise, but clear and exact form, the substance of American 

 Law on the Fame subject. I know no work that we possess, whose practical utility is likely to be so 

 extensively felt." " The wonder is, that the author has been able to bring so great a mass into so 

 condensed a text, at once comprehensive and lucid." 



Chancellor Kent says of the work (Commentaries, Vol. II., p. 635, note, 5th edition): — " It is a 

 work of great labour and intrinsic value." 



The American Jurist says: — " We have always found [in it] the information we were in search 

 of, and the principles correctly and perspicuously stated." " The task he imposed upon himself 

 was one of great toil, and he has resolutely and manfully performed it, evincing a patience of labor 

 worthy of the students and jurists of a fortnor ;ifre." " The lawyer will here find, brought into the 

 compass of two reasonable volumes, a vast amount of matter, gathered from many camel-loads of 

 text-books, reports, and statutes, correctly stated." — Jurist, .Tuly, 1839. 



Hon. Rufus Choate says: — " Mr. Milliard's work has been for three or four years in use, and I 

 think that Mr. Justice Story and Chancellor Kent express the general opinion of the Massachusetts 

 Bar."
