Marriage  settlements  may  be  as  varied,  and  the  provi-  settlements  gene-
sions  in  them  as  nnmerous,  as  the  different  kinds  of  property  "^'y-
which  are  capable  of  being  settled.  Almost  universally,  how-
ever, there  are  provisions  for  the  husband,  for  the  ■wife,  and
for  the  issue  of  the  marriage.  Whea  property,  whether
real  or  personal,  is  settled,  there  are  usually  many  trusts
and  powers  by  which  the  management,  enjoyment  and  devo-
lution of  the  settled  property  are  regulated.  These  subjects
are  considered  partly  under  the  following  sections  of  this
title  in  due  course,  and  partly  under  other  titles,  particularly
"  Powers"  and  "  Trusts."  As  to  powers  and  trusts  which
affect  property  they  are  to  a  great  extent  the  same,  whether
contained  in  wills  or  settlements,  and  by  being  considered
under  distinct  titles  unnecessary  repetition  is  to  a  great
extent  avoided.
