PREFACE

A

S Conveyancing bath always been efteemed one of the most confiderable Branches of the Law, our Eftates and Fortunes being thereby fecured to us and our Pofterity in the fureft Manner; to publish a compleat Work of the beft Precedents and Inftructions, in the whole Courfe of that Bufinefs, is a great and neceffary Undertaking, worthy to be attempted.

This Confideration, (with the good Reception my Court-Keeper has met with) heightned my Ambition to be concerned in fo useful and beneficial a Performance, wherein I have endeavoured to Set all Obfcurities in a clear Light, and made use of fuch Methods and Inftruments to accomplish the fame, as will render it a Directory to all, even in the most difficult Matters, fo as to draw any Deed or Conveyance in the most effectual Manner.

This firft Volume, you may observe, contains an Abridgment of the Law relating to Conveyancing, and all Deeds in general, with every Thing incident to them, which I have briefly collected from all the Books of any Signification extant on that Head, and which may ferve as a fufficient Inftruction concerning the Legality of Deeds And alfo all Manner of the fmaller Kinds of Precedents, concluding with Settlements of Perfonal Eftates, Annuities, Money in Funds, &c. But neither thefe Precedents, nor thofe contained in my two laft Volumes of this Work, are fuch as you meet with in the Works of other Perfons, unless it be fome few abfolutely neceffary.

The Second Volume, comprehends Special Gifts, Grants, Affignments, Mortgages,

and
