LONGMAN, ORME, BROWN, GREEN, & LONGMANS.

PLAIN DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING A WILL, in conformity with the New Act which came into operation on the 1st of January, 1838, and the strictest conformity with which is necessary in all Wills made subsequent to that Date. By J. C. HUDSON, of the Legacy Duty Office, London. Fifth Edition. In one Volume, foolscap 8vo., price 2s. 6d., gilt edges.

"Mr. Hudson states, that perhaps as many as one third of all the Wills proved throughout England and Wales are made either by the testators themselves or by persons not belonging to the legal profession. To this very numerous class of persons here indicated this little book will be invaluable." St. James's Chronicle.

"A very useful work; and, as it comes from a practical man, Mr. Hudson, of the Legacy Duty Office, we have no doubt it will obtain the circulation which it very strongly merits, by its bearing upon one of the principal concerns of domestic life." — Bell's Messenger.

Just published, by the same Author.
