This collection presents Preston's systematic analysis of English property law through five distinct legal treatises. The author tackles cross remainders and their precise definitions, then moves to the complex mechanisms of fines and recoveries available to tenants in tail. Preston distinguishes between merger, remitter, and extinguishment as separate legal concepts. He examines how estates function across four categories: executed, executory, vested, and contingent forms. The final tract explores contingencies that present double aspects in property arrangements. Scholars have recognized this work as culturally significant to legal understanding.
