THE LAW of REAL PROPERTY in ITS PRESENT This Work, which has employed the Author's leisure time for upwards of ten years, is distinguished from every other in several particulars. In the first place, it is confined to the Law in its Present State. Whatever is mere matter of history has been excluded; and that which has been abolished by statute, but remains in force in respect of past transactions, has been briefly touched upon. In the next place, it is confined to the Law as settled by the Decisions of the Courts, so far as anything in Law can be considered as settled. That which is confessedly not settled has been noticed, so as to shew the state of the Law, without entering into discussions on doubtful points, which may be found treated of at large in other Treatises. By thus confining the Work to what is wanted in ordinary practice, the Author has been enabled, without swelling it to an immoderate size, to embrace the whole of the Law of Real Property, of which particular parts only are considered in other Works.

Several Assurance Offices belong exclusively to Lawyers, and the advantages of their connexion are acknowledged, but those advantages have hitherto been confined to the Shareholders. It is one of the objects of this Institution to place the Benefits arising from this connexion within the reach of every Member of the Profession in the United Kingdom, whether he be a Shareholder or not. Another and paramount object is to give the Assured perfect security at the most moderate cost, and to afford them the Advantages, without the risks, of Mutual Assurance. The Public will have the option of assuring either upon a scale entitling them to participate in the Profits, or upon a lower scale, without profits. Four fifths of the Profits from Assurances upon the higher scale will be divided periodically among the Assured; and one fifth will be carried to a Fund, comprising all the profits accruing to the Society from other sources. The first charge upon this Fund will be the payment of Interest, at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum to the Shareholders, upon the amount of the Capital paid up; then a portion of the surplus (not exceeding one Society, for the benefit of the Widows and Families of Members of the tenth) will be applied in aid of a Widows' and Orphans' Fund, or Nominee Profession; and of the residue one moiety will be divided amongst the Shareholders, and the other moiety between the Solicitors through whose means Assurances are effected.
