 DAN various learning and close reflection, and his illustrations cannot fail to assist such as seek for aid in those obscurer parts of the law, which perplex by their intricacy and equivocal direction." Although the Abridgment is a work of great labour, and an acknowledged monument of its author's industry, care, and accuracy, yet it has never been a great favorite with the profession, from the want of method which pervades the entire work. It was valuable when first published, but is now nearly superseded as a book of reference, and no one thinks of reading it as an elementary Treatise. Its immethodical plan, and the natural changes and progress of American jurisprudence, have almost consigned to oblivion, the half century's toil of a learned jurist, and a true philanthropist. 23 N.

In producing a Treatise embracing the entire Chancery Practice, great care, extensive knowledge and judgment, is necessary; all of which Mr. Daniell brought to the compilation of the above work. The first edition was published in parts, and is a production embracing such a variety of'^ topics, some omissions, inaccuracies, and repetitions, were unavoidable. The editor of the second edition has made such emendations of the text as were found to be inaccurate, and added the late decisions and orders, together with four new chapters. Thus improved, Daniell's Chancery Practice is unequalled in the extent of its learning, the comprehensive- ness of its plan, and in the general accuracy of its execution.
