The high estimation in which the Decisions and
Opinions of Chancellor Johnson are held by the
entire bar of the state, would, at any time, be an
ample recommendation to this work, but at present,
when all equity jurisdiction is about to be trans-
ferred to new, and, therefore, inexperienced tri-
bunals, it is believed that the numerous decisions
upon the various points of Chancery Practice and
Pleading, contained in this volume, will render it
an invaluable book to every lawyer in the state.

The "Maryland Law .Reporter," is designed to
constitute the second and succeeding volumes of
Chancellor Johnson's Decisions.
