LAW OF SUCCESSION: TESTAMENTARY AND INTESTATE.Holdsworth, William S.; Vickers, C. W.Item #: 8350 Pages: xiv, 311p. Published: Union; Lawbook Exchange, Ltd.; 2004. Intended as an introductory treatise for law students, thistreatise serves as an excellent introduction and a usefulreference. And as one would expect from a book co-writtenby Holdsworth, it goes beyond the law of his day to analyzeits historical development. In addition to a valuableintroductory chapter on the history of succession, theauthors enrich their discussion in the main text withobservations on the ways its principles developed over timein response to particular conditions. Their functionalistview, which owes much to Maitland's example, enabled them tocreate a sophisticated text that avoids the pitfalls ofcontemporary formalistic and "scientific" treatises.Reprinted by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd.Distributed by William S.
