Excerpt from Abstracters of Title: Their Rights and Duties With Special Reference to the Inspection of Public Records, Together With a Chapter on Title Insurance The writer of this treatise has been connected with and inter ested in title companies in Chicago for the past twenty years. Perhaps this fact should make him hesitate to present this work, and yet it is natural that he should write on subjects in which he has been interested and with which he has been familiar for so long a time. In view of the great and increasing number of professional abstracters of title and the consequent interest in the use and inspection of public records, it is timely to publish a work in which the cases bearing on the rights and duties of abstracters, and on the right to use and inspect public records, are classified, stated and reviewed. Here is such a book. Time and use will tell whether it has added to the exposition of the law on the subjects which it treats. There is in it some reiteration of ideas and phrases. This has seemed to be necessary in order to treat fully the topics under consideration. When a writer criticises opinions of courts for lack of clearness and analysis in discussing the issues pre sented in cases, it is incumbent on him to strive to avoid these defects, even at the risk of repeating himself.
