Excerpt from The Law of Mortgages of Real Estate: Including Mortgages Under the Land Titles System This book is in part a product of the lectures which I have given at Osgoode Hall since the year 1909, when the Law Society Of Upper Canada appointed me lecturer in equity in succession to the late Mr. Alfred E. Marsh, k.c. Some of the features of the book are due to the fact that it is intended for the use of students as well as practitioners. I have had the advantage of using, in addition to Mr. Marsh's notes, the material contained in the Treatise on the Law of Mortgages of Real Estate, published in 1899, by Mr. Edwin Bell, the present secretary of the Law Society, and the late Mr. Herbert L. Dunn. I have, however, departed so Widely from the arrangement adopted by the authors of that work and have to such an extent rewritten and added to their material that it has seemed proper, Mr. Bell being a consent ing party, that the present book Should appear under my name. The book contains references to the leading decisions in all the common law provinces. The Ontario statutory provisions relating to the subject have been quoted as a rule Without abbreviation, and references have been given to the English statutes, if any, from which they are derived, so as to afford to a practitioner in another province the means of readily comparing the Ontario and English statutes with those of his own province and of judging to what extent the numerous Ontario and English decisions are applicable to his Own pro vince. It is hoped therefore that the book will be a useful guide to the law of all the provinces other than Quebec. The Ontario Registry Act is fully discussed so far as it affects the question of priorities and the law of mortgages.
