Excerpt from The Law of Wills, Vol. 3: Embracing the Probate of Wills and the Settlement of Estates; The Duties of Executors, Administrators, and Other Testamentary Trustees The work on Wills is now as complete as we could make it, within any reasonable compass and we believe it will be found to contain all which could fairly be expected in such a work, and in a form not obnoxious to just complaint. And it is a great satisfaction to have been able to leave the work in a shape which we have reason to believe will be satisfactory to our professional brothers, for whom we have labored so perseveringly through a very long professional life, and from whom we have received so many tokens of confidence and respect for all which we here tender them our most sincere, most grateful thanks.
