THE PRACTICAL CONVEYANCER SHEWING IN ONE VIEW THE FORMS OF DEEDS IN USE IN THE TRANSFERENCE OF LANDS, &c. IN SCOTLAND PRIOR TO OCTOBER 1, 1845, AND THOSE INTRODUCED BY ACTS OF PARLIAMENT PASSED SUBSEQUENT TO THAT DATE; WITH AN APPENDIX CONTAINING THE ACTS OF PARLIAMENT RELATING THERETO. COMPILED AND ARRANGED BY GEORGE WATSON, WRITER, EDINBURGH. EDINBURGH: WILLIAM GRANT, 52 WEST REGISTER STREET, PREFACE. THE object of the present Work is to shew in one view the changes in Forms of Deeds used in Conveying Land in Scotland, which have become necessary, or have been introduced by recent legislation. It is believed that it will be found useful to the practical conveyancer, in keeping distinctly before him the dates of the various changes in Forms of Deeds, and the Acts of Parliament which effected these changes. To the student, a knowledge of the old Forms is absolutely necessary, that he may understand thoroughly those now in use. Their being presented to him in the present shape, therefore, will greatly lessen his labour in acquiring practical knowledge, and will enable him to follow, and more easily understand, a progress of Titles containing the various Forms of Deeds.
