Excerpt from A Treatise on Special Subjects of the Law of Real Property: Containing an Outline of All Real-Property Law, and More Elaborate Treatment of the Subjects of Fixtures, Incorporeal Hereditaments, Tenures and Alodial Holdings, Uses, Trusts, and Powers, Qualified Estates, Mortgages, Future Estates and InterestsArising from experience with the difficulties encountered by students of the law of real property, three ideals have prompted and controlled the writing of these pages. They are the pres entation of that law, first, in the perfect light of its own history, second, divested as far as possible of technicalities, and third, practically complete within the sphere which the discussion purports to include. The book itself must fall far short of such ideals. But a few words as to each of them may brie¿y explain what has been attempted.The philosophy of English and American history is mani fested in few concrete forms or systems, in which it is so thor oughly legible as in the common law of real property. There is a clear reason, in the development of the anglo-saxon race, for every important principle of that splendid, logical system. Therefore, the so-called modern law of real property can be appreciated only superficially, when studied alone. And an attempt to learn it, without taking note of the civil and juristic struggles through which it has been evolved, is as unfortunate for the student as would be a mere study of those struggles.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
