Excerpt from Testamentary Forms and Notes on Wills A previous work on wills by the same author, designed for use in Massachusetts, has been of service to the profession in that State. The present volume is prepared with a view to its use in every American jurisdiction. The greater part of the work is devoted to forms, and the suggestions not only embrace the recognized principles of law but numerous practical points which it is believed are to be found hi no other work. Briefly stated, the purpose is to provide the attorney with a book which, after receiving instructions from the testator, he may consult in order to learn if these instructions are permissible and proper, or should be abridged or enlarged, and in which he may find the form he desires.
