A."); With Fullindex to Annotation; Abandonment-Enlistment This Digest, in the main, follows the lines pursued in former Digests. A few changes in classification have, however, been made, chief among which are the following: The subjects of Abatement and Revival, Appear ance, Dismissal and Discontinuance, Election of Remedies, Parties, and Venue have been taken from Action or Suit, and placed under their respec tive titles. The subject of Assignments for Creditors has been removed from Insolvency, and placed by itself. Matters as to the impairment of the obligation of contracts have been changed from Contracts to Constitutional Law. The subject of Judges has been placed in a title by itself. Fraud and Fraudulent Conveyances have been separated, and each subject placed by itself. Breach of Promise, Marriage, and Divorce have each been sepa rated from Husband and Wife, and placed under separate heads. Matters as to the right to and selection of a jury will now be found under Jury, instead of under Trial. And the subjects of Mechanics' Liens and Chattel Mortgages have been placed under separate heads, instead of under Liens and Mortgages as heretofore. In the matter of subdividing subjects and making cross-references the greatest care has been taken. In addition to the full and carefully prepared scheme or analysis at the head of each subject, heavy-faced head ings are used throughout the work, the constant aim being to lighten the labor of the users by making every subdivision that could in any possible way be helpful to them. This work of subdividing has been supplemented by a most careful and exhaustive scheme of making cross-references, the effort in each case being to make cross-references from every subdivision, including such heavy-faced headings, to all paragraphs on the same subject in other parts of the Digest, whether in the same or different titles, so that anyone finding a subdivision in any part of the Digest bearing on the subject before him will be able to find there all cases in point, or cross-references to them.
