Excerpt from An Essay on the Learning of Contingent Remainders and Executory Devices, Vol. 2 of 2

In submitting the following Essay to the indulgent consideration of the profession, it may be proper to make a few remarks, which may serve at once to explain its design, and to put the student on his guard against the mistakes into which, in the investigation of executory interests, he is liable to fall.

It may be safely affirmed, that there is no subject in the whole range of legal learning, so abstruse as the learning of executory interests, and yet, at the same time, none more practical and useful.

Notwithstanding the assistance afforded by so many volumes of ably drawn precedents, an accurate knowledge of this subject is highly requisite to all who are engaged in the practice of conveyancing. This is evident from the many hundreds of reported cases which have been brought before the courts, in consequence of ignorance or imperfect knowledge on the part of the individuals who have drawn the deeds or wills to which such cases have related. And to the Bar, whose duty it is to advise upon questions of property, as well as to discuss them in court, an accurate knowledge of this branch of learning is not only highly requisite, hut indispensably and constantly necessary.
