14 STEVENS & HAYNES, BELL YARD, TEMPLE BAR. This day is published, in one volume, 8vo., price 215., cloth, A NEW LAW DICTIONARY, AND Institute of the whole Law; EMBRACING FRENCH AND LATIN TERMS, AND BY ARCHIBALD BROWN, M.A. Edin. and Oxon, and B.C.L. Oxon, of the Middle Temple, Barrister-atLaw, Author of the "Law of Fixtures," "Analysis of Savigny's Obligations in Roman Law," &c. "This book certainly answers to its first title, if it hardly comes up to the ambitious idea of its second. For the purposes of working law students nothing could be more useful. Besides explaining every legal term, new and old, so carefully indeed as to include the word 're,' the author gives short notes upon points of law, which are excellent-specimens of clear and compressed writing. References to cases and statutes are abundant, as also to the best text writers on each subject. As an example of Mr. Brown's resolute endeavour to reduce even the vaguest and widest portions of our law to some clear first principles, we may refer readers to the title 'Fraud,' where they will find nine columns of compressed learning scientifically arranged. French and Roman law terms and doctrines are also carefully explained, while even the growth and character of the British Constitution are shortly but clearly set out under their proper headings. As already stated, the book is, for students, invaluable; but members of the profession will also find it useful for ready reference; and certainly the public could · find a great deal of curious information in its pages. We are always glad to be able to speak well of a book which, like the present, shows signs of good earnest work. Here the style and execution are worthy of the 'great subject chosen, and more than get-up of the book could not be better; and we are glad to note that the edges are ready cut, thereby saving the reader much trouble, and tending to keep the book itself neat and clean in appearance for a long time to come, even though in constant use."-The Law. "In a modest preface Mr. Brown introduces us to a rather ambitious work. He has endeavoured to compress into less than four hundred pages the whole law of Eng. land, and has evidently bestowed much pains on the execution of the task. He does not, however, aim at anything higher than rendering a service to students prepar ing for the Bar or for the lower branch of the profession, and there can be no doubt that he has produced a book of reference which will be useful to the class he has had in view. The conditions which are imposed by the very nature of such a work neces-1 sarily limit the possibility of making it altogether satisfactory. If it goes thoroughy into the rules and principles of every branch of law, it becomes too bulky to answer the purpose for which it is composed; and, on the other hand, there is the danger of sacrificing completeness to compression. Mr. Brown has perhaps done about as much as any one, not a rare genius, could do in such a case, and his Dictionary will be serviceable to those who are in want of hints and re- | ferences, and are content with a general idea of a law or legal principle. It is a handy book to have at one's elbow." cannot be said in its favour. The 1 1 STEVENS & HAYNES, BELL YARD, TEMPLE BAR. Nearly Ready, in one volume, 8vo. ENGLISH 15 CONSTITUTIONAL HISTORY.

INDERMAUR'S BOOKS FOR STUDENTS. "Mr. Indermaur's books are admirably adapted to the purpose for which they are written, and we heartily recommend them to students and teachers, who will find them exceedingly convenient compendiums of the law."-American Law Review.

In 8vo., 1874, price 5s., cloth, AN EPITOME OF LEADING COMMON LAW CASES; WITH SOME SHORT NOTES THEREON. Chiefly intended as a Guide to " SMITH'S LEADING CASES." BY JOHN INDERMAUr, Solicitor (Clifford's Inn Prizeman, Michaelmas Term, 1872). "This should be placed in the handy-volume series of law books. Its title expresses its objectthat of an Epitome and Guide to Leading Cases. The Cases themselves are stated with admirable brevity and clearness, and the notes turn out to be more full and instructive than their material size would seem to indicate. The type and binding are excellent, and in several respects this is an improvement on the first edition."-American Law Review. "At the end of thirteen months from the publi cation of the little volume the demand has justified a second edition. Last year we suggested that the compiler of the book knew the value of skilful 'cram' in the law examinations; and the call for a second edition plainly shows that our suspicion was correct. One case has been added, and also references to the original reports of the several cases; otherwise, the book is a mere reprint, and a glance at it with a knowledge of its popularity affords an exact view of the art of examination as used in the 'Final.'"-The Law Journal.

By JOHN INDERMAUR, Solicitor, Author of "An Epitome of Leading "We have received the second edition of Mr. "This is a work prepared expressly for the use of students who have to go through examinations. It is, in fact, simply what it pretends to be: notes of the leading cases, written and arranged in such a way as to assist the memory of the learner and serve as a guide through the larger works. We cannot say more in favour of it than by pointing out that it is just such a compilation as would result if a diligent student were to go through the text-books on which it is founded, and make his own notes and observations. The author has saved him this trouble, and has put within a small compass much knowledge and learning, which must be acquired for the purposes of an examination."-The Law. THE NEW JUDICATURE ACTS.

By WALTER ARTHUR COPINGER, of the Middle Temple, Barrister-at-Law. "A book that is certainly the most complete treatise upon the complex subject of copyright which has ever been published in England."-Athenæum. "A work much needed, and which he has done exceedingly well."-American Law Review. "We make no question that Mr. Copinger's well-devised, well-written, and useful treatise will become a standard work."-Law Journal. "The book is a thoroughly good one: there is scarcely a decision of any importance left un noticed, and the law in its bearings is fairly and judiciously treated."-The Bookseller. "In conclusion we refer our readers to this capital book on Copyright. The reader will find in it citations on the latest cases bearing on the subject, chapters on International Copyright, and the best and newest opinions on the subject so very important to authors and to publishers."-The Publishers' Circular.

By ALFRED HANSON, Esq., Comptroller of Legacy and Succession Duties. "It is the only complete book upon a subject of great importance, but which does not come within the regular course of professional study, and therefore requires to be read up when a case having reference to it comes into the solicitor's office. "Mr. Hanson is peculiarly qualified to be the adviser at such a time. Hence, a volume without a rival."-Law Times. "Since Mr. Hanson produced his first edition he has been appointed Comptroller of Legacy and Succession Duties. His book is in itself a most useful one; its author knows every in and out of the subject, and has presented the whole in a form easily and readily handled, and with good arrangement and clear exposition."-Solicitors' Journal.

In two volumes, royal 8vo., 1872, price 70s., cloth, THE LAW AND PRACTICE OF INJUNCTIONS. EMBRACING ALL THE SUBJECTS IN WHICH COURTS OF EQUITY AND COMMON LAW BY WILLIAM JOYCE, REVIEWS. "A work which aims at being so absolutely! complete, as that of Mr. Joyce upon a subject which is of almost perpetual recurrence in the Courts, cannot fail to be a welcome offering to the profession; and, doubtless, it will be well received and largely used, for it is as absolutely complete as it aims at being. . . . . This work is, therefore, eminently a work for the practitioner, being full of practical utility in every page, and every sentence, of it..... We have to congratulate the profession on this new acquisition to a digest of the law, and the author on his production of a work of permanent utility and-fame."-Law Magazine and Review. "Mr. Joyce has produced not a treatise but a complete and compendious exposition of the Law and Practice of Injunctions both in equity and common law. "Part III. is devoted to the practice of the Courts. Contains an amount of valuable and technical matter nowhere else collected. "From these remarks it will be sufficiently perceived what elaborate and painstaking industry, as well as legal knowledge and ability, has been necessary in the compilation of Mr. Joyce's work. No labour has been spared to save the practitioner labour, and no research has been omitted which could tend towards the elucidation and exemplification of the general principles of the Law and Practice of Injunctions."-Law Journal. "He does not attempt to go an inch beyond that for which he has express written authority; he allows the cases to speak, and does not speak for them. "The work is something more than a treatise on the Law of Injunctions. It gives us the general law on almost every subject to which the process of injunction is applicable. Not only English, but American decisions are cited, the aggregate number being 3,500, and the statutes cited 160, whilst the index is, we think, the most elaborate we have ever seen-occupying nearly 200 pages. The work is probably entirely exhaustive."-Law Times. "Mr. Joyce's work, within the limits which he has assigned himself, is well done. He has been evidently diligent in the collection of cases, and the points decided are stated with accuracy, and with more fulness of detail than in any work on injunctions with which we are familiar. It cannot fail to be useful in instructing practitioners in the proper employment of this much abused method of procedure."— American Law Review. "Mr. Joyce has produced a clear, scientific, and thorough treatise upon the subject of injunctions which, unlike most English works, will be nearly as useful to the American as to the English practitioner. "We doubt if there can be a single case of any note found upon injunctions in the English law that is not cited in these volumes."-Chicago Legal News. "This work, considered either as to its matter or manner of execution, is no ordinary work. It is a complete and exhaustive treatise both as to the law and the practice of granting injunctions. It must supersede all other works on the subject. The terse statement of the practice will be found of incalculable value. We know of no book as suitable to supply a knowledge of the law of injunctions to our common law friends as Mr. Joyce's exhaustive work. It is alike indispensable to members of the Common Law and Equity Bars. Mr. Joyce's great work would be a casket without a key unless accompanied by a good¦ index. His index is very full and well arranged. We feel that this work is destined to take its place as a standard text-book, and the text-book on the particular subject of which it treats. The author deserves great credit for the very great labour bestowed upon it. The publishers, as usual, have acquitted chemselves in a manner deserving of the high reputation they bear."-Canada Law Journal. |
