PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. THE Authors have, by means of additional Notes and Precedents, endeavoured in this Edition to give more complete explanation as to the manner in which the Conveyancing Act, 1881, can be applied in practice. The useful and carefully written works of Mr. Aubrey St. John Clerke and Mr. Thomas Brett, and of Mr. W. Manning Harris and Mr. Thomas Clarkson, will be found to supply numerous references to decisions on the law affected by the Acts of 1874 and 1881. The object of this work is to assist the draughtsman rather than to discuss legal points. LINCOLN'S INN, March, 1882. TABLE OF CONTENTS. 2. Rules for regulating obligations and rights of 3.
