PREFACE

TO THE SECOND EDITION.

THE author has carefully revised the work, correcting some errors and oversights which appeared in the First Edition.

The changes effected by the Conveyancing Act, 1881, are inserted. It is referred to for the sake of brevity as "the Act 1881."

Such of the former law on the subject of Real Property as is necessary to be read in order to connect it with the existing law is distinguished in this edition by being enclosed in brackets [ ].
