Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hayes Jarman's Concise Forms of Wills: With Practical Notes The first edition of Hayes and Jarman's Concise Forms of Wills with Practical Notes was the work of two distinguished Conveyancers - William Hayes, of 11, Cloisters, Temple, and the well-known author of the Treatise on Wills, Thomas Jarman, of 60, Chancery Lane. It was published in January, 1835, three years before the Wills Act came into operation, and not only may it be described as a pocket-volume, but it was moreover a volume which could without inconvenience have been actually carried in the pocket. From the prefatory remarks of its Authors, reproduced in every subsequent edition and here reprinted post, p. ix, it appears that it pretended to be "a portable volume of short forms... illustrated by succinct statements of the law upon points of frequent occurrence." During the eighty years that have since elapsed, Jarman on Wills, now in its 6th edition (1910), Theobald on Wills, now in its 7th edition(1908), Hawkins on Wills, now in its 2nd edition (1912), and many well-known books of forms and precedents have made their appearance. I am nevertheless assured that this work, which cites indeed many cases to be found in no other text-book, and contains what is probably the best commentary on the Wills Act ever published, not only holds its place as a book of forms, but has preserved the repute which it early acquired as a book on the law of wills.
