Excerpt from Titles to Real Estate in the State of New York: A Digested Treatise and Compendium of Law, Applicable to Titles to Real Estate in the State of New York This volume is an amplification of one of a similar but in formal character, printed in 1869, and which, at the request of the publishers, and upon the suggestion of many members of the profession, reappears in its present form. The present edition includes many subjects of importance connected with realty not previously considered, and is other wise much extended. The aim, in compiling the book, has been the exposition of the principal features of the real estate law of this State in a practical shape, under clearly distinguishing heads, and within the compass of a single volume. Such a succinct treatment of the real estate system of this State - now grown to formidable proportions under the mass of statute law that has been ap pended to the revision of 1830 - will explain the somewhat terse style necessarily adopted in the reduction of the subject matter into a comparatively small compass.
