Abstract:
In the discussions which have taken place on the law of successions in the United Kingdom, it has been commonly assumed that there is a simple issue involved, and the only change recommended or discussed is to extend the law of succession of property other than land, to the succession of landed property. In this way the true complication of the question is entirely overlooked, and few people are aware, or refer in their discussions, to the fact that there are in England three laws of succession to land, and that there was, so recently as 1836, three of succession to property other than land.
