Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a treatise on the law of real property that was written in 1919. The author begins by surveying the history of real property law with an introduction to feudalism and tenure as they existed in the Middle Ages. The author describes the interlocking network of obligations owed to the king by his vassals and the obligations owed by vassals to their own sub-vassals which created a complex system of landownership in which all land was ultimately held from the king. The author moves on to describe how tenure works under the feudal system, the different types of tenure, and the incidents of feudal tenure. The author next turns to the question of whether tenure still exists in the United States and the extent to which feudal incidents and doctrines have been abolished or remain in force. The author then examines the concept of corporeal real property and fixtures, giving historical context to the various doctrines surrounding the attachment to and severance of fixtures from real property. The work concludes with an examination of freehold estates in land. A hallmark of the book is its historical approach to its subject matter and the depth of its exploration of the feudal origins of modern property law.
