A CONCISE TREATISE ON THE LAW OF MARRIAGE SETTLEMENTS WITH AN APPENDIX OF STATUTES. BY HENRY THOMAS BANNING, M.A., BARRISTER-AT-LAW. LONDON: STEVENS AND SONS, 119, CHANCERY LANE, PREFACE. THE rapid increase of case-law on questions relating to the construction and preparation of Marriage Settlements, and the length of time that has elapsed since the issue of any work dealing specially with the subject, will, it is hoped, afford a sufficient excuse for the appearance of this volume. It has been the aim of the Author in this work to treat the subject with the greatest conciseness which is compatible with freedom from obscurity. The references to cases are brought up to the most recent date, and are given, for the most part, to all contemporaneous Reports. 13, OLD SQUARE, LINCOLN'S INN. October, 1884. |
