Just Published, new and improved Editions

OF

MR. BARTON'S

ELEMENTS OF CONVEYANCING,

AND

PRECEDENTS IN CONVEYANCING.

The Publishers beg to offer to the Profession the following testimonies of the merit of the FIRST editions of the above Works.

ELEMENTS. "Mr. Barton's ELEMENTS will be found an useful part of the library of a conveyancer." "On the doctrines of Courts of Equity, which, through the medium of trusts, consider lands as converted into money, and money as converted into land, a chapter in Mr. Barton's ELEMENTS may be read with great advantage." -1 Prest. Abstr. 214, &c.

"This work must, we think, prove a most acceptable and valuable addition to the library of all those who practise in the particular branch of the profession to which it relates. Other writers have done much, separately, for the profession, but Mr. Barton is the only one who has presented the student with a complete body of general information; and it is his merit that he has left little to be sought for in other works, by those who are possessed of his ELEMENTS."-Law Journal, May 1811.

PRECEDENTS. "No legal work has attained greater celebrity than the PRECEDENTS of Mr. Barton, nor apparently with greater justice."-Per Sergeant PELL, in Lys v. Morgan, C. B. Michaelmas Term, 1813.
