Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Real Property The author gladly gives credit to the legal writers and authorities on whom he has always based his work as a student and teacher as well as a writer. For that part of the work devoted to the history of the law of real property and the common law of England, special credit is due to Digby's History of the Law of Real Property, and Williams Real Property. Most of the lists of cases used as the basis of the work were drawn from the American and English Cyclopaedia of Law, Cyc., Washburn on Real Property, and the admirable and more extensive works on real property by Professor Tiffany and Professor Reeves. These cases were examined and the notes taken therefrom became the basis of the text. Professor Gray's cases on property have been the basis of the author's work as student and teacher, arid have been drawn from freely in this work. His work on Perpetuities, together with his cases on that topic, con vtitute the basis of the chapter on Perpetuities. Special credit is also due Professor Tiffany's comprehensive and scholarly work on Landlord and Tenant. Wm. F. Walsh. New York University Law School. November, 1915.
