A Treatise on the Law of Easements, by JOHN LEYBOURN GODDARD, of the
Middle Temple, Barrister-at-Law.

This new edition of a work so long in use, and so highly esteemed for its great and intrinsic merit, has been carefully and thoroughly prepared with express reference to its use, not only in New York, but in all the States of the Union.

To this end it has been entirely re-written, and such changes and additions (some of them most practical and important) made to the text as the changes in the law here and elsewhere have made necessary; and it embodies, especially, copious references to the decisions in all, but especially in New York and the Western States, down to the time it was passing through the press.

And not this only, the old forms are adapted to the present practice, and such ones added as these changes demand.

An examination of the work, as it is now presented, will, we are sure, show that it is worthy the approbation of justices of the peace and practitioners in their courts, and also of the members of the legal profession; for we are persuaded that in no other similar space can so much practical legal knowledge be found as in this treatise.

Upon the common questions of JURISDICTION, CONSIDERATION, AGENCY, CONTRACTS, PARTNERSHIPS, BILLS AND NOTES, SALES, BAILMENTS, CARRIERS, THE DOMESTIC RELATIONS, THE COMMENCEMENT AND TRIAL OF CAUSES, THE RULES OF EVIDENCE AND OF DAMAGES, EXECUTIONS, APPEALS, &c., &c., the work is reliable, comprehensive and complete.

It is equally so with reference to those special questions, so embarrassing at times to justices and to practitioners in their courts, and even to the learned members of the profession. Among these are those relating to SURETYSHIP, TENDER, PRESUMPTIONS, ARBITRATIONS, SET-OFF, &c., &c. It also embraces the most recent decisions in regard to FIXTURES, what is REAL and what is PERSONAL ESTATE, (including the mooted questions of hops, hop-roots, growing grass and fruits,) exempt property, line trees, injuries by or to animais, division fences, and a variety of similar topics, which require daily elucidation and decision in the town as in the higher courts.

In all these respects, and others, the work of the editor has been faithfully and intelligently performed, making the treatise an indispensable aid to those for whose use it is designed, and a valuable addition to any law library.
