A lawyer is sometimes required to search titles, and the client who thinks he has good right to an estate, puts the papers in his hands, and the attorney goes into the public records and finds everything right for three or four years back; but after a time he comes to a break in the title.

This is the best part of these men's farms, yet to this their warranty-deeds give no title. By Ralph Waldo Emerson Morning Charming Indubitably Made Twenty
