Excerpt from A Treatise on the American Law of Vendor and Purchaser of Real Property, Vol. 1 About the year 1800, one, Lord St. Leonards, then, how ever, only plain Mr. Sugden, became imbued with the purpose of writing a book. He cast around for a subject and event ually hit upon the title with which his name has long been associated. When he had announced his purpose he was ad vised by judicious friends to abandon his design as the nearly universal opinion was that the work would be a failure, for the reason, that the subjects to be considered were too multi farious for one treatise. But nothing dismayed he labored on, and in 1805 the first book on the law of Vendor and Purchaser was published. A second edition was issued the year follow ing and from thence until the year 1862 a succession of edi tions appeared, culminating with the fourteenth in the year last mentioned. Its depth of learning found an appreciative audience on both sides of the ocean, and in the United States it passed through no less than eight editions, the last being issued in 1873, with a valuable annotation by J. C. Perkins. To this edition the references in the present work are made. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
