"Since the publication of the first edition of Minor on Real Property in 1908 it has been an almost indispensable book to the lawyers of the two Virginias. The usefulness of the book however was never confined to the lawyers of these two states, as it contained a splendid statement of the common law principles, as well as their special application in Virginia as modified by statutes or decisions. (...) In re-editing the book, Mr. Ribble has, in the main, followed the original arrangement. Sections made obsolete by changes in the law have been omitted. Other sections have been rewritten, either to make them conform to the present law or to clarify them in the light of more recent decisions. (...) In conclusion, the editor is to be congratulated on the scholarly way in which he has performed a difficult and laborious task. In return he has the satisfaction of knowing that he has increased and prolonged the usefulness of a valuable' work on the law of real property.": Clayton E. Williams, Virginia Law Review 15 (1928-1929) 520.
