Excerpt from The Law Relating to Chief Rents and Other Rentcharges: And Lands as Affected Thereby, With a Chapter on Restrictive Covenants, and a Selection of PreccedentsModern Acts of Parliament are through out referred to by the short titles which are now always provided, as it is believed that the object and purpose of an enactment can be much more readily apprehended thus than by the citation of figures, which serve only for reference. Where necessary, these latter can be ascertained from the Index under the head of i' Statutes A word of explanation may be necessary in regard to the statutory provisions set out in the text. These do not profess to be quotations, or to give more than what is pertinent to the point in ques tion. On any collateral point, reference should therefore be made to the Act itself.I have to thank Mr. F. S. Higson, Solicitor, for kindly perusing the manuscript, and for many valuable hints and suggestions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

From Library Journal From the Twenties the name of Cavenaugh was synonymous with big game hunting in East Africa. Now in the Eighties, Chili Cavenaugh and his sons Coke and Lucien reunite to hunt a marauding leopard preying on a remote refugee camp. Narrated from Lucien's point of view, the novel examines the Cavenaugh's compulsive womanizing and the conflicts it has created between the three men. Harrison ( Burton and Speke, In a Wild Sanctuary) is as deft at evoking the desolation of drought-stricken Africa as he is at portraying the psyches of men for whom the hunt and the kill are primary urges. More than an adventure story, this novel of male relationships and rites of passage lays bare the dichotomy between men's drives for dominance over women and nature and their quests for love.- Andrea Caron Kempf, Johnson Cty. Community Coll. Lib., Overland Park, Kan.Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Publishers Weekly Set in modern-day Kenya, this taut, intelligent novel features an estranged family of renowned hunting guides. Following the ban on big-game hunting, Chili Cavenaugh, a legendary, American-born hunter, lives on memories; his 40-year-old son Lucien opens a safari outfitting store; Lucien's older brother Coke flies tourist planes. Their story is introduced when Lucien agrees to help an attractive American relief doctor transport medical supplies from Nairobi to a refugee camp in Northern Kenya. After a leopard kills a child in the camp, and returns to strike again, Lucien asks Coke and Chili to help him track and kill the animal. Harrison's prose is lean and spare, sustaining narrative tension. In chapters alternating between the hunt and flashbacks that illuminate a lifetime of conflicts among the hunters, Harrison ( Burton and Speke ) weaves a subtle, effective tale, his characters deeply etched and memorable.

When the close confidante of the U.S. President is murdered in Africa, a rag-tag task force assembles to solve that crime &amp; similar ones: people killed evidently by cobra venom. Can a cadre of disparate govt. agencies headed up by a veteran contract operator &amp; an offensive lower functionary succeed?Author Harrison has written several novels with an Africa setting: here, a killer moves unimpeded into Nigeria, Egypt, &amp; Zanzibar, fairly taunting law enforcement &amp; the comic American opera set up to capture him. @The center of the task force is Charlie Hazo a.k.a. the Professor, who's survived a dozen swipes from death, &amp; Peter Foxx a.k.a. the Little Buddha, whose noisy ambition &amp; noisier dining habits preclude that "refined sexual act" he imagines himself capable of.Even after the task force falters in Africa, the Little Buddha's still manuvering for open access to the White House &amp; an office @the Pentagon: &amp; to acquire all that, he agrees to be the killer's next target.First published in 1981 in the shadow of Munich &amp; Watergate, Savannah Blue is the tale of people succeeding despite themselves. Rounded out by Harrison's sparse, occasionally harsh (the lost, bewildered cop &amp; the mamba attack) prose. No longer in print but worth the search.
