Excerpt from A Treatise on the Price Act Relating to Real Estate in Pennsylvania: Act April 18, 1853, P. L. 503 Preface Mr. Price's treatise on the act commonly referred to by his name, has been out of print for many years, and was written so soon after the act was passed that whatever its merits, it is of very little use at the present time. Section 9 of the act has already been discussed, and it is hoped that the great practical importance of the other sections will justify this discussion of them. Since there are several other statutes in force, in some respects duplicating the provisions of the Price Act, it has been found necessary, for the sake of clearness, to refer to them in some detail, and the act is so generally administered in the Orphans' Court that some observations have been introduced on the nature and effect of Orphans' Court sales in general. A number of forms have been inserted in an appendix which may add to the practical usefulness of the book. In conclusion, I desire to acknowledge my indebtedness to Judge John Marshall Gest, of the Philadelphia Orphans' Court, for the great interest he has taken in this work and for many helpful suggestions. Indeed, without his encouragement, I doubt if the book would ever have been written. This discussion covers the laws of 1913, and the citations have been brought down to 244 Pa. and 55 Super. Ct, each inclusive. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
