[FIRST SUPPLEMENTARY VOLUME.] Abandonment to Will.

Early in June we will publish this volume, which will bring the set of English Ruling Cases down to as late as July, 1907.

Work on this volume was begun five years ago. The manuscript of the English editor, Mr. Robert Campbell, was first put into the hands of John M. Gould, Esq., who under took the American annotations.

Fortunately but few of the notes had to be touched Trials of the Publisher.

The title BAILMENTS was omitted from the original series, but a state ment is made in this volume of some rules which will be helpful in the preparation and trial of causes. Such subjects as CARRIERS, EXTRAORDINARY REMEDIES, INTERFERENCE WITH CONTRACTS, and so on are examined from the standpoint both of substantive and of remedial /ati'. [Price of volume 27, 55.50.
