A DIGEST OF THE DECISIONS
Construing the Statutes of Maryland,
Of which the Code of Public General Laws is composed,
With Specification of the Acts of Assembly,

BY CHARLES F. MAYER AND LEWIS MAYER,

OF THE BALTIMORE BAR.

THIS Work will comprise a DIGEST of all the DECISIONS of the COURTS of MARYLAND, contained in the volumes of Reports, viz:

Harris & Gill, 2 vols.

Harris & McHenry, 4 vols. Gill, 9 vols. Harris & Johnson, 7 vols. Gill & Johnson, 12 vols. Md., 14 vols. Bland's Chancery Rep.,. 3 vols. Md. Chancery Decisions, 4 vols.. also, of the DECISIONS of the SUPREME COURT of the UNITED STATES, construing or explaining the ACTS of ASSEMBLY, which compose the MARYLAND CODE of PUBLIC GENERAL LAWS.

The YEAR and CHAPTER of EACH ACT OF ASSEMBLY, embraced in the CODE of PUBLIC GENERAL LAWS, will be given, with a Copious Index of the contents of the Digest, and Tables of the Cases digested and cited, and the Acts of Assembly designated.

There will also be an Explanation of the Law Terms used in the Public General Laws, and in the Digest. By this means, any one, however unfamiliar with the science of law, may readily comprehend the meaning of the technical words and phrases used in the Works above mentioned.

The Construction of the Acts of Assembly by the Courts forms a part of the Law of the State, and, without this Explanation and Interpretation, the Code, of itself, does not convey complete information so as to furnish proper guidance for professional men or others.

The usefulness and necessity of this Work as an Expositor of the Code must, therefore, be obvious, and its importance need not be dwelt upon.

In Course of Preparation, A NEW WORK on the

Testamentary Law of Maryland.
