Excerpt from The Real Property Acts, 1874, 1875 and 1876: 37 and 38 Vict., CC. 33, 37, 57, 78, Settled Estates Act, Powers Law Amendment Act, Limitation Act, and Vendor and Purchaser Act, 1874, 38 and 39 Vict. C. 87, Land Transfer Act, 1875, 39 and 40 Vict. CC. 17, 30, Partition Act and Settled Estates Act, 1876Much having been said and written about the barrenness of the last Session of Parliament With regard to reforms in the law, it occurred to the writer that the publication of the measures relating to Real Property, which received the Royal Assent in the course of the Session, might furnish some answer to these statements. It seemed desirable to accompany the new statutes With such explana tory notes as might tend to elucidate their mean ing and set forth their objects. The unpretending little volume now presented to the public and to the profession is the result. The notes have no claim to originality, the writer has, with rare exceptions, preferred to state propositions of law in the language of well-known jurists or of judicial authority, rather than in his own.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
