671443PREFACE.
The number of authorities added to our learning
upon the subject of Perpetuities during the last six
years, and the important character of some of those
decisions, appeared to the Writer some few months
since, to render desirable an attempt to present them
to the Profession, in a connected form, corresponding,
as nearly as might be, to the arrangement of the
Work on Perpetuities, published in 1843.
If there be one branch of our law, which, more than
others, rests upon principles and doctrines, as dis-
tinguished from arbitrary or positive technicalities, it
is the law of Perpetuities ; and the interest with which
the Writer regarded his efforts of six years ago,
induced him to renew the inquiry into those portions
of the general subject that were immediately affected
theby intervening adjudications, in order that his
Treatise might, by their aid, become of greater prac-
tical service to the Profession. It has not been his aood
fortune in every case to discover the grounds, upon
which particular conclusions have been considered
theoryagreeable to the or the established authorities
which antecedently prevailed; whenever thisbut, has
happened, the AVriter sincerely hopes that, while
entering into the inquiry with that freedom whieli, hePREFACE.Vi
