Title continues: "Applicable to Real Property. By Sir William Blackstone, Knt. Adapted to the Present State of the Law in Upper Canada, by Alexander Leith, Of Osgoode Hall, Barrister-at-Law." The objects I have had in view have been, 1st, to exclude from the original text all that was wholly inapplicable here, as for instance the law of copyhold tenures, 2ndly, to exclude nothing which might either apply, or elucidate a principle; and, 3rdly, to interweave in the original text the required alterations" (p. iv, Preface).
