PREFACE. SINCE I published my "Digest of the Scottish Law of Conveyancing: Heritable Rights," a new and enlarged edition of which will be issued next year,— I have repeatedly been asked to write a companion volume dealing with the Conveyancing of Moveable Rights. In response, I have written the following pages. In trying to deal, in a short space, with so large a subject as the Law of Conveyancing of Moveable Rights, I have treated, first and very briefly, of matters common to writs relating to both heritable and moveable rights; and then, and at greater length, of the principal writs relating to moveable rights. The book has been written for students, but it may also be of some use to agents. I have introduced into the text of the work two or three forms taken, with the necessary permission, from the second volume of the "Juridical Styles." I thank most cordially my friends, Mr. John S. Soutar, Dunfermline, and Mr. Robert Hislop, Auchterarder, for the great trouble bestowed by them on the revision of the proof-sheets, and for many valuable suggestions. Mr. Soutar kindly prepared the Table of Stamp Duties appended to the chapter on the Stamping of Deeds. J. C. EDINBURGH, October 8, 1888. I. PERSONAL BOND, WITH ONE GRANTER AND ONE GRANTEE ; II.
