Topham’s Real Property 
An Introductory Explanation of the Law Relating to Land

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This book is intended primarily for students. So far as it deals with the law of the present day, the author believes that it covers the whole ground, at any rate in outline, and will probably be found sufficient in itself for the purposes of the Law Special at Cambridge and other similar examinations for which a knowledge of the principles of the modern law of Real Property is required.<br><br>The history of the law is dealt with in outline for the purpose of explaining some of the more intricate of the modern rules, and a general view is given of the manner in which a contract for the sale of land is carried out and the conveyance completed. It is hoped, therefore, that to candidates for the more advanced examinations the book will be useful as a first explanation of a very intricate subject. With the same end in view full explanations have been inserted of the more difficult rules with frequent illustrations chiefly by way of cases actually decided.
