PREFACE

TO THE SECOND EDITION.

The first edition of this work having been rapidly exhausted, the author ventures to offer another edition to the public.

The present edition has been brought up to date by the inclusion of the latest decisions.

Some alterations have been made in the arrangement. Certain points of difficulty, considered in the Preface to the first edition, are now treated in the Introduction, & reference to which has been added in those parts of the text which deal with the same matters.

A few cases, including two Irish decisions which had been overlooked, have been added, and some portions have been re-written in order to attain greater accuracy.

References have been added in the Table of Cases to the Commercial Reports, and a few clerical errors in the text have been corrected.
