Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Mortgages and Conditional Sales of Personal Property in the State of New York: With Appendices of Statutes and of Forms The author's "Treatise on the Law of Mortgages of Real and Personal Property in the State of New York," was published in 1877. The collection of new material for a second edition was commenced shortly after, and proceeded to such an extent that it was found that more than a single volume would be required. It was thereupon thought best to treat mortgages of land separately from mortgages of chattels, and a bulky volume on Mortgages of Real Property was published in 1887. This volume on Mortgages of Personal Property completes what may be termed a second edition of the earlier work. The general plan of arrangement has not been changed, but a division into sections has been made for more convenient reference - the old matter has been revised, and large additions have been made. The character of the earlier book as an elucidation of the law of the State of New York has been preserved, but decisions of the courts of other States have been added, when they seemed to be in harmony with the rules laid down here.
