Excerpt from Handy Book on Property Law: In a Series of Letters Particular to point out the precautions to which you Should attend in selling, buying, mortgaging, leasing, settling, and devising estates. You express, besides, a desire to know something in a popular way of the nature of the different interests in property, and of the mutual rights of yourself and your wife, and of your power over your children, which would lead me to introduce the new law of divorce to your notice. You further ask me to give you some general hints as to your conduct in the character of a trustee or executor, which may keep you from harm. In short, you want, in the form of familiar letters, what is now SO much in vogue, a work upon an interesting subject calculated for the million, whom I should be but too happy to assist: such a work, whilst it imparts knowledge, may, perchance, beguile a few hours in a railway carriage. I have in my youth and in my manhood written much for the learned in the law; why should I not, at the close of my career, write somewhat for the unlearned This I shall proceed to do concisely, and without encumbering my pages with many technical phrases. I must premise, that I shall say little which is not warranted by decided cases; but I shall not burden you with references to them, as they lie scattered in many a bulky volume to which you have not access.
