"The Cases are, for the most part, mere Nisi Prius Decisions, and, consequently, make but little pretension to learning or research.

This work contains a learned and perspicuous display of those parts of the Law of Feuds, which are chiefly necessary for the elucidation of the learning relative to the origin of estates and their legal properties." It is a beautiful specimen of deep learning, united with a concise and elementary exposition of its subjects. The utmost reliance may be placed in his citations, which are numerous ; and those who may be in search of minute learning on the various topics of Feudalism, may take his authorities as faithful guides."
