Handbook of the Law of Wills
Excerpt from Handbook of the Law of Wills
The first edition was so broad in scope that it has seemed unwise to deal with entirely new topics. In connection with the topics dealt with in the first edition, the editor has sought primarily to consider those cases which have been decided in the twelve years which have elapsed since the publication of that edition. Some changes and a large number of additions have been made, especially in the notes. Many cases in support of new text have been referred to, and a con siderable number of recent cases have been cited, because they con tain valuable discussions or deal with matters which are still in dis pute. Although realizing that defects in general statements are nu avoidable, the statements in the black-letter text have usually been re tained, but the fact that the authorities are in con?ict has been made clear in many instances where this did not appear in the former edition.
