PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.

I HAVE endeavoured in this edition to make the work more complete by adding chapters on the execution of wills and other cognate subjects. A short chapter has also been added on the powers which it is usual to confer upon the trustees of wills. I have done my best to correct the mistakes and supply the omissions of the first edition. With the exception of some small matters of detail, the arrangement remains unaltered. The cases will be found brought down to May, 1881. References to some cases which were reported too late to be inserted in the text have been added in the Index. My best thanks are due to my friend Mr. J. F. H. Bethell of Lincoln's Inn for many useful suggestions.

33, CHANCERY LANE,

July, 1881.
