OF CONCISE PRECEDENTS OF WILLS. WITH INTRODUCTION, NOTES, AND AN APPENDIX OF STATUTES. BY CHARLES WEAVER, B.A. (T.C.D.). BIBLIOTHER NOV 1882 GODLEIANA LONDON: STEVENS AND SONS, 119, CHANCERY LANE. Law Publishers and Booksellers. 1882. PREFACE: Or the following precedents, some have been prepared for the present work, and others adapted from drafts previously used in practice. The notes are directed chiefly to practical points and difficulties, such as may occur to a practitioner when preparing a will under ordinary circumstances. Thus, while some well-known principles and important points of law are passed over in silence from their being adequately dealt with by able and at the same time clear and simple treatises already in the hands of the Profession, it is hoped that some of the notes may supply assistance of a kind not found elsewhere, not merely to solicitors, but also to their articled clerks; and that the work may be found useful either as a supplement to one of the established books of precedents, or as a simpler and at the same time more exclusively practical manual.
