Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Record of Title of Real and Personal Property: With the Statutory Provisions of the Several States Relating Thereto, and Approved Forms for Forms Ments in Each State The matter of Registration of Title has been heretofore treated only as a branch of the general law of real and per sonal property, of conveyances, and of the doctrine of no tice. With the growth of statutes and the multiplication of decisions, however, the subject has now reached an im portance and bulk such as properly demands for it a sep arate work, and hence this book has been written. The decisions arising under the recording acts have been well said to be exceedingly numerous and often involving questions of great magnitude and importance. The stat utes are being constantly extended, altered and modified by the legislatures of nearly fifty states and territories, and upon these numerous statutes, more or less variant from each other, many courts are adjudicating, so that to the growing diversities of legislation are added the increasing diversities of judicial decision; and with the result that out of the very large number of cases that have accumulated, conflicting, and apparently conflicting, Opinions can now be arrayed on either side of nearly all the numerous questions that reasonably arise.
