In 8vo, price 6s., cloth, A SUMMARY OF JOINT STOCK COMPANIES' LAW. By T. EUSTACE SMITH, OF THE INNER TEMPLE, BARRISTER-AT-LAW. "The author of this hand-book tells us that, when an articled student reading for the final examination, he felt the want of such a work as that before us, wherein could be found the main principles of law relating to joint-stock companies Law students may well read it; for Mr. Smith has very wisely been at the pains of giving his authority for all his statements of the law or of practice, as applied to joint-stock company business usually transacted in solicitor's chambers. In fact, Mr. Smith has by his little book offered a fresh inducement to students to make themselves-at all events, to some extent-acquainted with company law as a separate branch of study."-Law Times. "These pages give, in the words of the Preface, as briefly and concisely as possible, a general view both of the principles and practice of the law affecting companies." The work is excellently printed, and authorities are cited; but in no case is the very language of the statutes copied. The plan is good, and shows both grasp and neatness, and, both amongst students and laymen, Mr. Smith's book ought to meet a ready sale."-Law Journal. "The book is one from which we have derived a large amount of valuable information, and we can heartily and conscientiously recommend it to our readers."- Oxford and Cambridge Undergraduates' Journal. 39 In 8vo, Fifth Edition, price 95., cloth, THE MARRIED WOMEN'S PROPERTY ACTS; 1870, 1874, and 1882, WITH COPIOUS AND EXPLANATORY NOTES, AND AN APPENDIX OF THE ACTS RELATING TO MARRIED WOMEN.

GRIFFITHS, B.A., Oxon., of Lincoln's Inn, Barrister-at-Law. "Upon the whole, we are of opinion that this is the best work upon the subject which has been issued since the passing of the recent Act. Its position as a well-established manual of acknowledged worth gives it at starting a considerable advantage over new books, and this advantage has been well maintained by the intelligent treatment of the Editor."--Solicitors' Journal. "The notes are full, but anything rather than tedious reading, and the law contained in them is good, and verified by reported cases... A distinct feature of the work is its copious index, practically a summary of the marginal headings of the various paragraphs in the body of the text. This book is worthy of all success."-Law Magazine. In 8vo, price 125., cloth, THE LAW OF NEGLIGENCE. SECOND EDITION. By ROBERT CAMPBELL, of Lincoln's Inn, Barrister-at-Law, and Advocate "No less an authority than the late Mr. Justice Willes, in his judgment in Oppenheim v. White Lion Hotel Co., characterised Mr. Campbell's Law of Negligence' as a very good book;' and since very good books are by no means plentiful, when compared with the numbers of indifferent ones which annually issue from the press, we think the profession will be thankful to the author of this new edition brought down to date. It is indeed an In royal 8vo, price 28s., cloth, AN INDEX TO TEN THOUSAND PRECEDENTS IN CONVEYANCING, AND TO COMMON AND COMMERCIAL FORMS.

BY CHARLES JAMES TARRING, BILLS OF COSTS IN THE VARIOUS MATTERS TAXABLE IN THAT OFFICE; INCLUDING COSTS UPON the PROSECUTION of FRAUDULENT BANKRUPTS, AND ON APPEALS FROM INFERIOR COURTS; TOGETHER WITH A TABLE OF COURT FEES, AND A SCALE OF COSTS USUALLY ALLOWED TO SOLICITORS, ON THE TAXATION BY FREDK. H. SHORT, CHIEF CLERK IN THE CROWN OFFICE. "This is decidedly a useful work on the subject of those costs which are liable to be taxed before the Queen's Coroner and Attorney (for which latter name that of 'Solicitor' might now well be substituted), or before the master of the Crown Office; in fact, such a book is almost indispensable when preparing costs for taxation in the Crown Office, or when taxing an opponent's costs. Country solicitors will find the scale relating to bankruptcy prosecutions of especial use, as such costs are taxed in the Crown Office. The 'general observations' constitute a useful feature in this manual."-Law Times. "This book contains a collection of bills of costs in the various matters taxable in the Crown Office. When we point out that the only scale of costs available for the use of the general body of solicitors is that published in Mr. Corner's book on 'Crown Practice' in 1844, we have said quite enough to prove the utility of the work before us. "In them Mr. Short deals with Perusals,' 'Copies for Use,' 'Affidavits,' 'Agency,' 'Correspondence,' 'Close Copies,' 'Counsel," Affidavit of Increase,' and kindred matters; and adds some useful remarks on taxation of 'Costs in Bankruptcy Prosecutions,' 'Quo Warranto,' ́ ́ Mandamus,' 'Indictments,' and Rules.' "We have rarely seen a work of this character better executed, and we feel sure that it will be thoroughly appreciated."-Law Journal. "The recent revision of the old scale of costs in the Crown Office renders the appearance of this work particularly opportune, and it cannot fail to be welcomed by practitioners. Mr. Short gives, in the first place, a scale of costs usually allowed to solicitors on the taxation of costs in the Crown Office, and then bills of costs in various matters. These are well arranged and clearly printed."-Solicitors' Journal. In one volume, 8vo, price 8s. 6d., cloth. A COMPLETE TREATISE UPON THE NEW LAW OF PATENTS, DESIGNS, & TRADE MARKS, CONSISTING OF THE PATENTS, DESIGNS, AND TRADE MARKS ACT, 1883, WITH THE RULES AND FORMS, FULLY ANNOTATED WITH CASES, &c.

By EDWARD MORTON DANIEL, of Lincoln's Inn, Barrister-at-Law. "The last of the works on this subject, that by Mr. Daniel, appears to have been very carefully done. Mr. Daniel's book is a satisfactory and useful guide."-The Engineer. "This treatise contains, within moderate compass, the whole of the law, as far as practically required, on the subject of trade marks. The publication is opportune, the subject being one which must nearly concern a considerable portion of the public, and it may be recommended to all who desire to take advantage of the protection afforded by registration under the new legislation. It is practical, and seems to be complete in every respect. The volume is well printed and neatly got up."-Law Times. In one volume, 8vo, price 16s., cloth, A CONCISE TREATISE ON THE STATUTE LAW OF THE LIMITATIONS OF ACTIONS. With an Appendix of Statutes, Copious References to English, Irish, and American Cases, and to the French Code, and a Copious Index. BY HENRY THOMAS BANNING, M.A., OF THE INNER TEMPLE, BARRISTER-AT-LAW. "Mr. Banning's 'Concise Treatise 'justifies its title. He brings into a convenient compass a general view of the law as to the limitation of actions as it exists under numerous statutes, and a digest of the principal reported cases relating to the subject which have arisen in the English and American courts."— Saturday Review. "Mr. Banning has adhered to the plan of printing the Acts in an appendix, and making his book a running treatise on the case-law thereon. The cases have evidently been investigated with care and digested with clearness and intellectuality,"-Law Journal. In 8vo, price Is., sewed, AN ESSAY ON THE ABOLITION OF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

Second Edition, in 8vo, price 8s., cloth, 43 THE PARTITION ACTS, 1868 & 1876, A MANUAL OF THE LAW OF PARTITION AND OF SALE With the Decided Cases, and an Appendix containing Judgments and Orders. OF LINCOLN'S INN, BARRISTER-AT-LAW, B.A., AUTHOR OF "A COMPENDIUM OF THE LAW OF EXECUTORS "" AND ADMINISTRATORS. "This is a very good manual-practical, clearly written, and complete. The subject lends itself well to the mode of treatment adopted by Mr. Walker, and in his notes to the various sections he has carefully brought together the cases and discussed the difficulties arising upon the language of the different provisions."-Solicitors' Journal. "The main body of the work is concerned only with the so-called Partition Acts, which are really Acts enabling the Court in certain cases to substitute a sale for a partition. What these cases are is very well summed up or set out in the present edition of this book, which is well up to date. The work is supplemented by a very useful selection of precedents of pleadings and orders."—Law Journal. "This is a very painstaking and praiseworthy little treatise. That such a work has now been published needs, in fact, only to be announced; for, meeting as it does an undoubted requirement, it is sure to secure a place in the library of every equity practitioner. We are gratified to be able to add our assurance that the practitioner will find that his confidence has not been misplaced, and that Mr. Walker's manual, compact and inexpensive as it is, is equally exhaustive and valuable." Irish Law Times. In 8vo, price 21s., cloth, A TREATISE ON THE LAW AND PRACTICE RELATING TO INFANTS. BY ARCHIBALD H. SIMPSON, M.A., OF LINCOLN'S INN, ESQ., BARRISTER-AT-LAW, AND FELLOW OF CHRIST'S COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE, "Mr. Simpson's book comprises the whole of the law relating to infants, both as regards their persons and their property, and we have not observed any very important omissions. The author has evidently expended much trouble and care upon his work, and has brought together, in a concise and convenient form, the law upon the subject down to the present time."-Solicitors' Journal. able to test it, the work omits no point of any importance, from the earliest cases to the last. In the essential qualities of clearness, completeness, and orderly arrangement it leaves nothing to be desired. "Its law is unimpeachable. We have detected no errors, and whilst the work might have been done more scientifically, it is, beyond all question, a compendium of sound legal principles."-Law Times. "Mr. Simpson has arranged the whole of the Law relating to Infants with much fulness of detail, and yet in comparatively little space. The result is due mainly to the businesslike condensation of his style. Fulness, however, has by no means been sacrificed to brevity, and, so far as we have been "Lawyers in doubt on any point of law or prac. tice will find the information they require, if it can be found at all, in Mr. Simpson's book, and a writer of whom this can be said may congratulate himself on having achieved a considerable success." -Law Magazine, February, 1876. "The reputation of Simpson on Infants' is now too perfectly established to need any encomiums on our part and we can only say that, as the result of our own experience, we have invariably found this work an exhaustive and trustworthy repertory of information on every question connected with the law and practice relating to its subject."-Irish Law Times, July 7, 1877. In 8vo, price 8s., cloth, THE LAW CONCERNING THE REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS IN ENGLAND AND WALES, AND AT SEA. Being the whole Statute Law upon the subject; together with a list of Registration Fees and Charges. Edited, with Copious Explanatory Notes and References, and an Elaborate Index, by ARTHUR JOHN FLAXMAN, of the Middle Temple, Barrister-at-Law. "Mr. Flaxman's unpretentious but admirable little book makes the duties of all parties under the Act abundantly clear. Lawyers will find the book not only handy, but also instructive and suggestive. To registrars, and all persons engaged in the execution of the law, the book will be invaluable. The index occupies thirty-five pages, and is so full that information on a minute point can be obtained without trouble. It is an index that must have cost the author much thought and time. The statements of what is to be done, who may do it, and what must not be done, are so clear that it is well-nigh impossible for any one who consults the book to err. Those who use Flaxman's 'Regis tration of Births and Deaths' will admit that our laudatory criticism is thoroughly merited."-Law Journal. "Mr. Arthur John Flaxman, barrister-at-law, of the Middle Temple, has published a small work on The Law concerning the Registration of Births and Deaths in England and Wales, and at Sea." Mr. Flaxman has pursued the only possible plan, giving the statutes and references to cases. The remarkable feature is the index, which fills no less than 35 out of a total of 112 pages. The index alone would be extremely useful, and is worth the money asked for the work."-Law Times. |
