"Less than 200 pages serve to arm us with the ordinary precautions to
which we should attend in selling, buying, mortgaging, leasing,
settling, and devising estates. We are informed of our relations to our
property, to our wives and children, and of our liability as trustees or
executors, in a little book for the million,--a book which the author
tenders to the _profanum vulgus_ as even capable of 'beguiling a few
hours in a railway carriage.'"--_Times._
