Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where a mortgage, in describing the property intended to be covered, refers to a previous deed or other conveyance of the same property, which contains a full description of it, with such particulars as to the parties to the deed and the place of its record, if the deed is on record, as will enable any person in interest readily to find and consult it, this will cure any defect or uncertainty in the rest of the description; and the same rule applies where the reference is to a patent, or to a recorded map or plat of the city or other civil division containing the property in question.” In this connection, see Davis v. Horne, 54 Fla. 563 , 45 So. 476 .”
