ADVERTISEMENT TO THE THIRD EDITION. In this edition, the work has been carefully revised and corrected, and all the recent decisions in England, Ireland, and America, which seemed to affect the text, have been referred to; and the work has been enlarged by considerable matter, which, it is hoped, will increase its usefulness both to the student and to the profession.
