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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * The authorities are uniform that actual possession of real property is notice to all the world of the title and rights of the person so in possession, and also of all facts connected therewith which reasonable inquiry would have developed. The rule in this respect differs from the rule of constructive notice, arising from the record of instruments affecting the title to land; for there the record is notice only of what appears upon its face, and such additional facts as its language directs attention to. In such cases the purchaser may rely upon the state of the title as shown by the record, without further search or inquiry. Bailey v. Galpin, 40 Minn. 319 , 41 N.W. 1054 .” (Italics supplied.)”
