Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Construction of the Statute of Frauds, as in Force in England and the United States: An Appendix, Containing the Existing English and American Statutes
IN the preparation of the present edition, no pains have been spared which seemed to promise for the book a higher degree of accuracy or of usefulness to the profession. The text has throughout been carefully revised. Much of it has been entirely rewritten, in order to present certain topics with greater fulness or in new aspects, as seemed, by the course of recent judicial decisions, to be rendered desirable. Besides adding the cases reported since the third edition, all citations made in earlier editions have been carefully verified, and many other cases of that date added, with the result that the present edition contains in all more than a thousand cases not previously found in the book. Improve ments have also been made in its indcx'and table of cases. The author trusts and believes that the result of the careful and thorough work put into this edition will be to confirm the favorable judgment which the book has heretofore enjoyed at the hands of the profession.
