PREFACE

THROUGH the generosity of the late Professor John C. Gray, who by his will left the copyright of his case-books on Property to the President and Fellows of Harvard College for the benefit of the Law School, the editor has been able to make free use of the arrangement and valuable material of the fourth volume of that series. Not only has the general plan of that book been followed, but several of Professor Gray's notes on the older parts of the law have been reprinted here with due acknowledgment. Moreover, on a few occasions the abbreviated statements of fact drawn by him have been adopted for this collection. Attention has been called to such instances by foot notes.

The editor is also indebted to the Syndics of the University Press of Cambridge, England, for permission to print on pages 666, 667, 731 the extracts from Maitland's Equity; and to his learned friends, Albert M. Kales and John P. Wilson, Jr., of the Chicago Bar, Adelbert E. Buffum of the Massachusetts Bar, and Grenville Clark and Alfred C. Intemann of the New York Bar for material assistance on the Forms appearing in the Appendix.

The names and arguments of counsel have, with a few exceptions, been omitted. Other omissions are duly indicated.

CAMBBRIDGE, December 1, 1916.

JOSEPH WARREN.
