Excerpt from Annotated Real Estate Statutes of Indiana; The Law of Real Property: Being a Complete and Logical Compilation of All the Statutes Appertaining to Real Estate Law, With Exhaustive Annotations; Together With Notes Upon the Common Law as It Is Modified By, or in Force Independent Of, the Statutes To collect all of the statutes of Indiana which in any way afiect the title to real property, and arrange them in a logical manner, together with the case and text-book law bearing on these statutes and kindred legal principles, has been no easy task. We are conscious of' the imperfections which must mark all work of this character; and we can only say that we have endeavored, by patient and careful labor, to render these imperfections as harmless, and our work as helpful, to our brethren in the proies sion as possible. In the preparation of our notes we have purposely avoided the style common in the preparation of a thesis or treatise, in order that we might bring the attention of the reader direct to the de cisions of courts and the utterances of Jurists. In references to cases, it has been our aim to state the legal principle, which, from a careful examination of each case, we believe it sustains; leaving the reader to determine what wag/at it ought to liar/e, and what its application should be. We have kept in mind the fact that the statute, and its construction by our own Supreme Court, is of the first importance. Common-law questions have been given such prominence as their importance seemed to demand. Conflicting authorities have been brought together, in some instances recon ciled; in others the weight is shown, and in other cases our limited space has only permitted us to hint at inviting lines of discussion. The many important subjects embraced in this book, if dis cussed in the usual style of text-book law, would fill volumes; and, in order to compress it all into the small compass of this volume.
