Sec. 1. Of Notice of Trusts. Sec. 2. Of Sales by Trustees.

In order to call attention to every point which may possibly come before a conveyancer for his consideration in advising on title, it would be necessary to give an exhaustive account of the whole of the English law of real property and chattels real. To this the present work makes no pretension, the writer's chief aim being to set forth the main principles of the law relating to sales of land. There are, however, various points arising on particular titles which are of sufficiently frequent occurrence to call for special mention; and it is now proposed to deal with these. We will begin in the present chapter with the subject of notice of trusts and sales by trustees. Next, we will treat of titles depending on the exercise of a power, especially the power of sale given by the Settled Land Acts; and then we will shortly consider a variety of miscellaneous matters such as sales of copyholds, of leaseholds, of lands situate in Middlesex or Yorkshire, and other special subjects.
