1. ““A vendor’s lien is a right which the law by implication accords to the grantor of land, who has conveyed the title and reserved no express lien and has taken no security for the purchase money other than the personal obligation of the grantee, to subject the land in equity to the payment of the unpaid purchase price. A subsequent purchaser with notice of a vendor’s implied lien takes the land subject to the prior equity of the original vendor. Bowen v. Grace, 64 Fla. 28 , 59 South. Rep. 563 ; Johnson v. McKinnon, 45 Fla. 388 , 34 South. Rep. 272 . “Where by direction of the purchaser of land the title thereto' is conveyed to another, the vendor’s lien for the purchase money by implication of law attaches to and follows the land in the hands of the grantee, without any special agreement for its retention, and binds the land as if it were conveyed to the person who undertakes to pay the purchase money. See 29 Am. & Ency. Law p. 746; Crampton v. Price, 83 Ala. 246 , 3 South. Rep. 519 ; Beal v. Harrington, 116 Ill. 113 , 4 N. E. Rep. 664.””
