1. As to the time of sale.

2. The manner of sale.

3. The consideration.

4. General points relating to sales by fiduciary vendors.

Under the term, fiduciary vendors, we may comprise agents for sale, assignees of bankrupts and insolvents, mortgagees with powers of sale, persons selling under the special authority of Railway and other Acts of Parliament, and, in particular, of the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, 1845, (and who may be conveniently described by the general appellation of statutory owners,) and, lastly, trustees selling in pursuance of either an express trust or only a permissive power; - the term, trustees, being also held to include executors, when selling freeholds or copyholds in exercise of a power expressed or implied, and personal representatives generally, when selling the chattels real of their testator or intestate.

We may consider sales by such vendors, with reference to the questions, When ought they to sell? How ought they to sell? and, For what price ought they to sell? and then refer to some points which cannot conveniently be classed under any of the above heads.
