easy means of correcting any false deduction, or explaining any obscurity of the author, but I have also introduced many additional subjects, and amplified such as appeared to me to be too slightly noticed in the former edition :-I allude chiefly to the law affecting contracts for the sale of Real Property;—and that relating to Landlord and Tenant :-Fixtures;-Husband and Wife;-Partners;-Principal and Agent ;Principal and Surety, or Guarantees and Indemnities; the Sale of Goods;-the Action for Money had and received;-and Carriers. The Stamp Law as it relates to agreements, and receipts, is fully stated. The law of Defences to Actions for Debts and upon Special Contracts, has also been detailed with considerable diffuseness. No pains have been spared to render this part of the treatise practically useful. Not only are the nature and validity of each probable ground of defence fully considered, but the mode of pleading and of proving such defence is also explained. The Index has been prepared with great care, and will, it is hoped, give ready access to the contents of the work. 6, PUMP COURT, TEMPLE, 22d May, 1834. ANALYSIS. SECTION I.
