Land Laws eBook

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The object of this book, as I formerly defined it, is to make the principles and the leading features of the English law of real property intelligible to a reader who is without legal training, but is willing to take some little pains to understand. It does not aim at being a practical manual, and therefore many things that take an important place in counsel's chambers and the solicitor's office, such as the Conveyancing Acts and the Settled Land Acts, are purposely treated with great brevity. Collateral topics such as local taxation, death duties, and game laws, were and are omitted simply because there was no room for them.
