PREFACE

TO THE THIRD EDITION.

ELABORATE revision has been made, and the Settled Land Acts and Cases thereupon, and other recent Acts and Cases, incorporated with the work.

Such of the former law on the subject of Real Property as is necessary to be read in order to connect it with the existing law is distinguished in this edition by being enclosed in brackets [ ].

The headings, cases, references, and Statutes of importance, are printed in Clarendon type, and the names of the text book which in the prosecution of his studies in Conveyancing the student is advised to peruse are in italics.
