Excerpt from A Manual on Land Registration: With a Full, Complete Annotated Copy of the Land Registration Act of the State of Georgia I have written this book as a duty, not as a pleasure; for, while it might have been a pleasure to have written a book on this subject, if I had had the time, the fact is I didn't have the time. In the first place, the time between the passage of the Land Registration Act and the date set by the publishers whereon the printers should have the manuscript was too short a period in which to write on the subject in a way which would have given pleasure. And, then, I have long since sold myself into the slavery of a law practice; and that takes time. I say it was my duty to write the book, because I owe so much to my brothers of the bar that when they make a demand of me I ought not to let my personal convenience prevent my compliance - and they have asked me to write this book. It happens this way: Some years ago a commission was appointed to study and put into the form of a bill a system of land registration for this State. I served on the commission and gained some knowledge of the then existing systems. The death of the brilliant chairman of that commission, Hon. Washington Dessau, prevented its labors from coming to fruition. In the year 1914 the General Assembly authorized the appointment of a similar commission, and the Governor named me on it. This commission devoted several weeks to public hearings and to a study of the subject, and then drew the bill which was enacted into law at the last session of the General Assembly. Owing to the fact that the two other members of this commission (Hon. R. N. Holtzclaw and Hon. S. M. Turner) resided away from Atlanta, where the hearings of the commission were had, the larger part of the preparation of the bill fell upon me. Hence, I was supposed to know more about the subject than any one else upon whom the bar might have called to write the book; therefore, the demand and the duty that I should write it.
