Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Wills, Vol. 1 of 2: Including Their Execution, Revocation, Etc.; Also a Full Discussion of the Rules and Principles of Their Construction In conclusion it may be stated that the various subjects which, taken together, constitute the law of wills, and which may be properly treated as such, have been so arranged in these volumes that those subjects which are exclusively a part of the law of wills, as, for example, testamentary capacity, undue influence, execution, revocation, and the like, are con tained in volume 1; while those subjects which, though very frequently invoked in relation to wills, may also be included under some other head of the law, as, for example, equitable election and satisfaction, are comprised in the second volume. As a result Of this, the first volume alone may be used with advantage and profit, by the student in the law school or else where, as a complete treatise on the law of testamentary suc cession; while the second, covering subjects usually discussed from other standpoints in the elementary books of equity and real property law, is of value to the practitioner.
