Book Description
Excerpt from Concise Manual of the Law Relating to Private Trusts and Trustees Every person who has had practical experience as a lawyer, divides his professional knowledge into two distinct heads, namely: - first, his habitual knowledge - that knowledge of the rides of law which is laid up in his memory, so that whenever he has reason to apply those rules they are accurately recalled without external aid; and secondly, his knowledge of the storehouses, so to speak, where he can get the actual knowledge of any branch of law of which he is uncertain. Now of storehouses of law we have an ample supply. Putting aside the various digests, no works could well be more complete and detailed than Mr. Dart's Book on Vendors and Purchasers, Mr. Jarman's on Wills, Mr. Chitty's on Contracts, Mr. Addison's on Torts, Mr. Justice Lindley's on Partnership, and last, but far from least, Mr. Lewin's Model Treatise on Trusts. Again, we have smaller but singularly complete summaries of case law in Mr. Roscoc's Nisi Prius Evidence, and Mr. Watson's excellent Compendium of Equity, a book which ought to be in the hands of every practical lawyer.
