Excerpt from The Rule Against Perpetuities Although only eight years have passed since the publica tion of the second edition, about three hundred and eighty new cases on the Rule against Perpetuities (not including those in New York) have been decided during that time, many of them of considerable interest; and my views have altered or developed on several points. Notwithstanding an increase in the average contents of a page, there has been a material addition to the number of pages of the text and of the Appendix. If this had been the first edition of this work, I should un doubtedly have adopted a more consecutive and compact ar rangement in several respects than it now exhibits. It has seemed to me, however, to be advantageous to the reader to retain in the present edition a form which shows the develop ment not only of the law but of the author's views during a period of twenty-eight years.

There is a special class of cases which seems to form an exception to the rule that a gift not split by the donor cannot be split by the law, but which, from its peculiar character, is not likely to be extended. When personal property is bequeathed to a series of persons not in esse by words which would create successive estates tail if the subject of the gift were real estate, and the first person does not come in esse, the next will take. For instance, suppose the bequest takes this, which is the usual, form: Leaseholds or other personal property are given to A. for life, remainder to the first and other sons of A. in succession, and the heirs male of their respective bodies; and in default of such issue of A., to B. for life, remainder to the first and other sons of B. in succession, and the heirs male of their respective bodies. Here if A. and B. die, and A. has no sons, then the first son of B. will take. 1 See App. G, $ 857 et seq., 1 See these cases discussed, post. 389 et seq., post. 357. Mr. Lewis 1 and Mr. Jarman 2 do not seem to regard this as any exception to the ordinary mode of applying the Rule against Perpetuities. But an exception, it is submitted, it really is.3 If there were no Rule against Perpetuities the limitations over would take effect not merely if A. never had sons, but also if A. had sons whose issue afterwards failed. Now applying the Rule against Perpetuities, the limitation on the latter contingency is certainly too remote, and the limitation over in case A. has in fact no sons can only be preserved in one of the two following ways: -- ...
