That unto them was not a grief without cause, because their valiant battle-soldier had fallen, and their hurdle (?) of contest against their foes, and he that had repelled from them Hector and Troilus, and the Trojan leaders, besides, who had laid low many thousands of their hosts. Repentance seized them for having come at all on the expedition, for their leaders and their champions and their kings had fallen. Harder than anything they deemed it that Achilles was slain; for if Achilles were at their head, they would endure every hurt of battle and conflict and combat2 that would befall them. also was shooting arrows at the hosts out of a battalion, and laid low great multitudes of Greeks. Then he struck Ajax with an arrow-shot when he was stark-naked in the battleline, and it pierced his side. Then when the fury and rago wrought by the wound had entered Ajax, he charged through the battalion to Alexander, and did not take hand from him till he slew him and till he destroyed him. Howbeit, Ajax son of Telamon went to his camp and plucked out his arrow, and so died forthwith. Then Alexander's body is borne to the city. Then, too, did Diomede rout the Trojans after Alexander had fallen, and he inflicted slaughter upon them as far as the gates of the city. Though there were no lessening (?) of the Trojans save the furious attack which Diomede made that day upon them, it was enough of slaughter and for never was there anything more horrible than the swift hacking and the swift hewing which he brought upon them up to the gates of the city.

Helpful property law supplement. Did it save my grade? We will see.

[Anonymous Lawstudent]

Excellent. My property TA friend uses this and won’t return it to me because of how good it is. I hope that one day this book will be returned to my loving hands so that I may be able to caress its pages and reread it.

[Kelly Mai]

a last ditch effort to stay in school
upDATE: did not get an A- in property so TWO STARS

[An Hosek]

Would’ve never understood life estates and future interests without this. loved that the examples were relatively short. need to get passed around at a party like Blackacre getting passed around to every landowner in the world

I'm generally a big fan of the Examples and Explanations series, but this was a bit less clear to me than some of the others. I think it had to do with its structure, but I blame that less on the book than on the subject of Property, which is a rather disaggregated course/ subject to begin with. Perhaps I was hoping for too much.

I think that the end of chapter questions often made the subject more and not less confusing. This is especially the case in instances where the authors included extraneous and unimportant information in the answer that fully clouded the issue. I also thought that the coverage of the subjects lessened as I got further into the book and seemed to be rushed.

A solid reference for American property law and provides great practice problems to drill the concepts. This book helped me grasp the Rule Against Perpetuities and better understand future interests!
