Not illustrated. 1915 edition. Excerpt: ...who reaches twenty-five, grandchildren living at the testator's death will take the legacy, although those born afterwards cannot.1 356. There is a special class of cases which seems to form an exception to the rule that a gift not split by the donor cannot be split by the law, but which, from its peculiar character, is not likely to be extended.

But an exception, it is submitted, it really is.3 If there were no Rule against Perpetuities the limitations over would take effect not merely if A. never had sons, but also if A. had sons whose issue afterwards failed.
