. WHI WHEELER, JACOB D. The American Chancery Digest, being a Digested Index of all the Reported Decisions in Equity, in the United States Courts, and in the Courts of the several States. 2d ed. 2 vols. 8vo. New York. 1841. The first edition of this work, edited by John D. Campbell and Ste- phen Cambreleng, is well known to the Profession, and highly esteemed for its luminous arrangement, clearness of method, and accuracy of detail. Mr. Wheeler has made it the basis of his Digest, and has distributed, under their appropriate Titles, the adjudicated Chancery Cases since the publication of the first edition. . Reports of Criminal Cases decided at the City Hall of the City of New York ; with Notes and References, containing, also, a View of the Criminal Laws of the United States. 3 vols. Bvo. New York. 1823-25. . A Practical Treatise on the Law of Slavery ; with copious Notes and References. 8vo. New York. 1837. " The work bears marks of haste in its preparation, but it is a valu- able compilation of decisions on practical questions, arising under the Law of Slavery in the United States. It will be serviceable to the Pro- fession as a comprehensive digest of authorities on this branch of law, and it will afl^ord much instruction to philanthropists and statesmen, interested in reconciling the welfare of slaves with the integrity and just operation of Constitutional Law." 17 A. J. 248. . A Practical Abridgment of American Common Law Cases in the Courts of the several States, and the United States Courts, from the earliest period to the present time ; with Notes and References to the Statutes of each State, and Analogous Adjudications. 8 vols. 8vo. New York. 1833-36. " Mr. Wheeler's Abridgment is compiled upon the plan of Mr. Peters- dorfTs, except that the decisions are given in the language of the judges who delivered the opinions, and not as in Mr. Petersdorff, written out in the words of the editor. The editor has added verj'' copious notes in most of the Titles, stating the general law on the subject, and referring to the English Cases. The decisions appear to be generally very well chosen and arranged in this volume. The Cases are presented in a clear order, and come in under the respective divisions with great appropriate- ness, thus combining the advantages of a connected Treatise with those of Reports of particular Cases." 10 A.
