Excerpt from Harvard Law Review, Vol. 4The truth is, that what the deed says, and what some centuries ago it really meant, the courts have gradually forced into mean ing a very different thing, and that legislators, through caution, or through lack of progressive thought, have chosen to import from time to time new contract features into the ancient form, rather than to establish a new form, or to revert to an ancient form in harmony with fact. And so it is that while a mortgagee's interest in land has for a long period, in this country, been a mere chattel estate, and has amounted in substance to a mere pledge of the land, and is constantly characterized as such, we still continue to create it by a deed professing in terms to grant a conditional fee, and permit to cling to the contract, like a lichen growth, cer tain embarrassing features of real-estate title.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
