William Sheppard Touchstone of Common Assurances

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The high reputation which the Touchstone has so long maintained, renders it an almost indispensible part of a Lawyer's Library. As a systematic body of Law relating to Real Property, it is a Work particularly valuable to the Student. It may, perhaps, be expected that some notice should be taken of what has been done to the present Edition. To say any thing about the quantity of the additional matter contained in it, would be quite superfluous - the number of the notes and the Copiousness of many of them, rendering it evident, that the additional matter is very considerable; and, from the smallness of the type in which the notes are printed, still more considerable than, from a cursory view, might be supposed - How far indeed, the Editor's labours may be useful to the Profession, is not for him to determine.
