This work presents a practical manual for solicitors and conveyancers on how to prepare and evaluate abstracts of title. It aims to assist the rising generation of legal practitioners by teaching first principles, the reasons behind practice, and the proper sequence for analyzing titles. Comprising notes, guidelines, and a table of contents, it covers the commencement of abstracts, arrangement, form, and the management of evidence, including deeds, wills, trusts, and covenants. Preston emphasizes utility and accuracy, acknowledges potential errors, and urges a disciplined, methodical approach to abstract drafting as the foundation of reliable property transactions. The text served as a foundational reference for real property law in the 19th century and remains a guide to professional duties in the acquisition and transfer of title.
