By George Spence, Esq., one of Her Majesty's Counsel. *** Vol. I. may be had, price £1 11s. 6d. boards. "A mass of matter, cases, arguments and discussions, thrown together in a work of such bulk, is like a library containing as many different works as this contains cases. presenting the authorities on each point in the ipsissima verba of judicial decisions; but connecting, modifying, approving or condemning them in his own words, which will be deservedly considered of little less weight by the student than the dicta to which they relate. "Such is the variety of topics, subdivided into an almost infinite ramification of cases and points, into which the learned author is necessarily led ;-few writers, we apprehend, could be found sufficiently persevering to pursue every topic in such a list with the same untiring vigour, till each in its turn was exhausted,-few would have the learning, fewer still the resolution."-LAW MAGAZINE, No. 22. "We must far surpass the limits of an article were we to attempt to discuss, with any sort of completeness, the vast variety of subjects which Mr. Spence's second volume contains,-subjects treated by him with a fulness of detail indispensable in a book designed not only as a guide, pointing out to the student the great principles upon which the law in its complexities of actual business depends, and tracing the mutual connexion of those extensive provinces of Equity, with whose details he is expected to become familiar, but also as a storehouse, from whose well arranged repositories the practising lawyer may readily furnish himself with the armour needed for the conflicts of the Bar."-LAW REVIEW, No. 22. There remains a vast amount of valuable information, both theoretical and practical, upon topics not to be found in any of the recent treatises, which must be carried to the sole credit of Mr. Spence's own original and laborious investigations; and from this results the peculiar character of the book, that it is at once trite and recherché, containing all the stock information on subjects within its scope which may be found in the current text-books, and superadded to these, the result of an experienced lawyer's researches in neglected paths and résumés of, or criticisms (where criticism is called for) on, the most recent decisions, doctrines, and innovations of the Court of Chancery. "A more dense mass of living law, available alike for study, reference, and practice, has seldom been presented to the Profession."-JURIST, No. 668, Oct. 27, 1849. The reader, however, will be surprised at the mass of information which it contains; all the principal branches of learning are explored. ... There never was less bookmaking in any book than in this."-LAW MAGAZINE, N. S., No. 8. .... A work which promises to be one of the most learned and philosophical treatises on the largest branch of British Jurisprudence which our language has produced."-LAW TIMES, Oct. 6, 1849. 66 Just published in royal 8vo. Vol. III., price £2 12s. 6d. cloth, of CHITTY'S COLLECTION OF STATUTES. Containing "Leases" to "Wills." With Notes thereon; intended as a Circuit and Court Companion. The Second Edition, containing all the Statutes of Practical Utility in the Civil and Criminal Administration of Justice to the present time. By W. N. Welsby, and Edward Beavan, Esquires, Barristers-at-Law. "This is no mere skeleton of the bulky and unwieldy Giant commonly called Statutes at large,' but the very body itself, stripped, however, of useless incumbrances, and reduced to fair and manageable proportions. Not only are all Statutes of practical importance so classified as to afford the greatest facilities for reference, and enable a correct view to be taken of the Acts bearing upon a given subject or in pari materiâ, but they are also fully illustrated, in the form of a running Commentary, by the judicial exposition which has been given to them from the period of their enactment until the present time. We have the oracle and its interpretation side by side. "We believe that this work, together with the recent Edition of 'Saunders' Pleading and Evidence,' by Mr. Lush, will be found to contain a body of law available for all useful and practical purposes, which will not be found in any other books approaching them in portability or price."-JURIST, No. 784. "We have here not only a careful and judicious selection of Statutes, whereby all that was obsolete or repealed has been rejected, but we have copious yet not diffuse essays on the most important modern Statutes, bringing down the decisions of the various Courts to the eve of publication. The effect of this is to present to the reader a working collection of Statutes, and an elaborate digest of Cases, which when joined in one page as it were cannot but place the acquisition of accurate knowledge on almost any moot point of law or construction within the easy reach of all. To these, and all others engaged in the laborious pursuit of legal knowledge, we can confidently recommend this valuable work as a whole, confident that the forthcoming and concluding volume will not fall short of its two predecessors, which have already met with approbation no less general than deserved." -THE TIMES, January 31, 1852. 66 Vols. 1 & 2 may be had, price £4 4s. cloth.

Second Edition, with several New Chapters, and considerable Alterations and Additions; adapting the Text to the last General Orders of May, 1845, and the Decisions of the Court up to the time of publication. By T. E. Headlam, Esq., of the Inner Temple, Barrister-at-Law. "The universal opinion of the profession has stamped upon Mr. Daniell's book a high character for usefulness and general accuracy. It has become, in fact, the manual of the Chancery practitioner." * "In nothing has Mr. Headlam been more successful than in the plan by which he has adapted the New Practice, occasioned by the New Orders of May, 1845, to the General Practice of the Court. He has in every case incorporated any of the New Orders by which the Practice has been varied, with the text of the original work. He has given expositions of the effect, actual and probable, of those Orders, which exhibit much tact and acumen."-LAW MAGAZINE, N.S., No. 7. * "We have no hesitation in declaring that this is the most able work which has ever been written on the Practice of the Court of Chancery." * "And we think that the manner in which the learned Editor has dealt with the original work has, upon the whole, been very judicious."-JURIST, No. 487. Lately published, in 8vo., price 21s. boards. DART'S VENDORS AND PURCHASERS.-SECOND EDITION. A Compendium of the Law and Practice of Vendors and Purchasers of Real Estates; comprising the Authorities down to the present time. By J. Henry Dart, Esq., Barrister-at-Law. "We remark, as a matter that first engages attention, and which is by no means inconsiderable in the practical usefulness of a book, that the facilities both of reading and reference are preserved, and even increased. The additions to the text appear to be 76 pages. And the table of cases has an addition of five pages-an apparently small increase, but importantly so when it shows that nearly 600† further cases have been worked into the references. These matters will sufficiently show that very considerable attention has been bestowed upon the present edition, both mechanical and mental. "In conclusion, we recommend this work to the practitioner as a complete book, and one that will warrant his confidence, and furnish able assistance in all matters relating to the sale and purchase of estates; and we think no better book can be read by students, for the purpose of giving them a condensed view of the subject, and enabling them to see the application of those principles and rules with which a general study of the law has furnished them."-LAW STUDENTS' MAGAZINE, April, 1852. *The actual increase is upwards of eight pages. Extracts from Notices of the First Edition. "Mr. Dart's labours have produced in this compendium a readable book for the use of beginners. He has paid particular attention to the attainment of a logical arrangement, and a clear and concise style. Without sacrificing its character as an elementary treatise, Mr. Dart has also made an useful book of practice. The work is well worthy of a place, not only in the general library, but in that selection of books which the working lawyer looks upon as his best tools; which come most readily to his hand, and which he gets to look upon as a part of himself."-LAW REVIEW, 1st May, 1851. The work is short, readable, and very accurate. With these quotations we will close our notice of a work which is obviously prepared with great care, and will, we think, become a standard text book."--JURIST, 2nd March, 1851. "Its plan is well arranged, the cases are carefully collected, the law is clearly expounded, and in every part of the treatise there is a great deal of learning. .... The style is singularly compact."-LAW TIMES, 8th March, 1851. |
