A Practical Treatise, by FREDERICK S. WAIT. Esq., of the New York Bar. Published about the first of June last (a few weeks before the vacation period), this book has already had a very large sale, and seems to supply a real need at this time. It is unquestionably of great service to many lawyers, and is equally valuable in every State. This Treatise is invaluable to Lawyers, as it gives, fuller than any other work, practical information respecting Remedies of Creditors, against Debtors, involving the most important questions that constantly arise in every day practice. The work treats fully of the Remedies of Creditors, instituted to annul Fraudulent Conveyances and recover Equitable Assets. READ WHAT IS SAID OF THIS NEW WORK BY JUDGES, LAWYERS AND EDITORS. Chief Justice Waite, of the U. S. Suprem Court, says: "After the exhibition Mr. Wait gave us of his ability as an author in his former work on the Trial of Title to Land,' I feel sure this will be found to be a very valuable addition to the legal literature of the day." Mr. Justice Blatchford, of the U. S. Supreme Court, says: "I have derived great satisfaction from a perusal of the new work on Fraudulent Conveyances and Creditors' Bills.' The subjects are treated in a discriminating and thorough manner, and the book will be of great service to the profession, both on the bench and at the bar." Hon. Juo. W. Daniel, Author of "Negotiable Instruments," says: It is a workmanlike performance-well done. On Notice of Fraud. Badges of Fraud, Evidence of Fraud, it is very clear and satisfactory. This book will be a most useful one.' Hon. D. W. Sanders, Louisville, Ky., says: "I have had occasion to examine, critically, your recent heation, Wait on Fraudulent Conveyances and Creditors' Bills,' and find it a most useful and reliable work." The Chicago Law Journal says: "To the practicing lawyer the methods of reaching property by legal process, which has been wrongfully concealed or fraudu lently conveyed, becomes a department of practice of primary importance. The object of this treatise is to aid the practitioner in this department of litigation. The subjects are discussed with a breadth and thoroughness which seems to us exhaustive and leaves nothing more to be desired. Altogether it will be found a labor-saving and exceptionally valuable book." David Hays, Esq., Rochester, N. Y., writes to the Publishers; "I cannot refrain from expressing to you, and through you, to the author of the recent work on Fraudulent Conveyances and Creditors' Bills.' my admiration for that excellent book. Mr. Wait's production is one of the most satisfactory I have read on any legal subject." The Albany Law Journal says: pub-cal importance. The author shows title to call his work a treat"A very complete treatise on a subject of considerable practiise, for he really treats the subject, and does not merely make up a mosaic of cases. He cites nearly 4,800 cases, but they are not burdensome, typographically or mentally. We think his work commendable, and that it will make a place for itself. It is sumptuously printed." Hon Judge Wm. P. Ballinger, Galveston, Texas, says: "It is not only the latest but the best work on the all-important subject of Fraudulent Conveyances, and the remedies against them. That part of the work on Void and Voidable Acts, which, so far as I know, is the first attempt by any American writer at the theoretical and scientific analysis of this most interesting branch of law, strikes me as well done; and altogether the book is a most valuable contribution to the profession." Chas. F. Beach, Jr., Legal Critic of the Courier Journal, Louisville, Ky., says: "In the work in hand, the author has, to some extent, gone over the ground covered some ten or a dozen years ago by Mr. Bump, but, in an important degree, in a manner very different from, and much superior to, the work of that gentleman, which, aside from the fact that it is now out of date, considers this question solely from the standpoint of an expert in bankruptcy, and as affected and, to some extent, colored and modified by the bankrupt legislation. Mr. Wait has done his work well. Both in its subject and its treatment, the book commends itself in these unsettled times." The Central Law Journal, St. Louis, says: "This is a timely contribution to the literature of the year and is, what we have not been able to say of all books, an excellent one. The book is well arranged, is written in a clear and concise style with no unnecessary padding. The index is very full, and is well worthy of imitation." The Nation, New York, says: "Mr Wait's book is designed as a practical guide for the legal profession, and seems to be very complete in all the details of court procedure. The nature of the property and interest available to complainants, the creditor's status, and questions of parties, pleading and provisional relief are exhaustively discussed. The evidence and defences in this class of litigation are considered at length, including a very important discussion of the law of notice. The present time of financial misfortune seems to be opportune for the appearance of a book of this character, and we believe that the profession will find it highly serviceable." The Virginia Law Journal says: "As to the causes of the prevalency of fraudulent conveyances there may be some difference of opinion. The author thinks that the abolition of imprisonment for debt is the chief causes. He says; The personal liability of the debtor being no longer at stake, the natural tendency has been to promote reckless and extravagant expenditures, and to encourage and foster wild business speculations. The cost of every reform must be borne by some one, and creditors are at the present time paying the price of this great change in remedies against the person.' The treatise is not limited to the mere details of practice." "WAIT ON FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCES, &c.," is in a fine octavo volume of about 800 pages. Price, $6.25. We send by mail or express, charges prepaid, upon receipt of price. BAKER, VOORHIS & CO., Law Publishers, New York. VOL. 3, NOW READY.
