Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Leases, Vol. 1 of 2: With Forms and Precedents To anticipate an objection which I cannot but foresee, it may be well to state, that I have thought it more advisable in a few instances to examine under one head the several subordinate and collateral bearings of my subject, than to distribute them under separate divisions of the work. This will be particularly observable in the Chapter on the Reddendum, where not only the considerations peculiarly appropriate to that division, but the ramifications incident to it, such as the suspension and apportionment of rent, the effect of the statutes of limitation on the lessee's liability to pay rent, and the relief afforded in Equity, have also been discussed. A similar course has been pursued in the Chapter on Renewals. The convenience of the plan compensates for a departure from a more logical arrangement. The general rules for the construction of a Lease, and the law relating to its alteration by erasure, cancellation, and the like, as well as to its being duly executed, being common to all deeds, have not been specifically noticed, as they offer nothing particularly applicable to, or illustrative of, the doctrine under consideration.
