Excerpt from An Essay on the Transfer of Land by Registration: Under the Duplicate Method Operative in British Colonies In bringing forward a measure which has been grappled with in vain by three Lord Chancellors, I am aware that I render myself obnoxious to the charge of presumption. My defence is that the question as here treated is not one of law, but rather of official mechanism, by means of which the principles advocated by those high authorities may be rendered operative to the almost incalculable benefit of all who are now, or hope to become, interested in land; and for that work my official employment in connection with the transfer of property in shipping, and subsequently in registration of assurances, afforded an experience of a special character which neither the study nor the practice of the law are calculated to impart. And, again, I would plead that the complete success which has attended the application of that mechanism in the nine colonies in which it is in opera tion, warrants the belief that the like result will follow its adoption in this country.
