The American and English Encyclopaedia of Law, second edition, at that price is a better proposition for the lawyer who uses books for other purposes than to fill shelf-room, BECAUSE it treats exhaustively scores of topics not touched upon in any text-books. Upon the subjects treated of in text-books it cites and considers from two to ten times as many cases. It gives the judicial definition of every word and phrase passed upon by the courts a feature invaluable in construing contracts, wills, and statutes. The alphabetical arrangement of topics and full cross-references make it as easy to find the point desired as to look up a word in a dictionary. It is all meat—the law as declared by the courts; no padding or theorizing. It is a standard authority-this and the first edition having been cited by supreme and appellate courts in their opinions NEARLY TWENTY THOUSAND TIMES.

Columbia University includes both a college and a university in the strict sense of the words. The college is Columbia College, founded in 1754 as King's College. The university consists of the Faculties of Law, Medicine, Philosophy, Political Science, Pure Science, and Applied Science. The point of contact between the college and the university is the senior year of the college, during which year students in the college pursue their studies, with the consent of the college faculty, under one or more of the faculties of the university. Barnard College, a college for women, is financially a separate corporation; but, educationally, is a part of the system of Columbia University. Teachers' College, a professional school for teachers, is also, financially, a separate corporation; and also, educationally, a part of the system of Columbia University. Each college and school is under the charge of its own faculty, except that the Schools of Mines, Chemistry, Engineering and Architecture are all under the charge of the Faculty of Applied Science. For the care and advancement of the general interests of the university educa tional system, as a whole, a Council has been established, which is representative of all the corporations concerned. I. THE COLLEGES. Columbia College offers for men a course of four years, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Art. Candidates for admission to the college must be at least fifteen years of age, and pass an examination on prescribed subjects, the particulars concerning which may be found in the annual Circular of Information. Barnard College, founded in 1889, offers for women a course of four years, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Candidates for admission to the college must be at least fifteen years of age, and pass an examination on prescribed subjects, the particulars concerning which may be found in the annual Circular of Information. II. THE UNIVERSITY. In a technical sense, the Faculties of Law Medicine, Philosophy, Political Science, Pure Science, and Applied Science, taken together constitute the university. These faculties offer advanced courses of study and investigation, respectively, in (a) private or municipal law, (b) medicine, (c) philosophy, philology, and letters, (d) history, economics, and public law, (e) mathematics and natural science, and (f) applied science. Courses of study under all of these faculties are open to members of the senior class in Columbia College. Certain courses under the non-professional faculties are open to women who have taken the first degree. These courses lead, through the Bachelor's degree, to the university degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy. The degree of Master of Laws is also conferred for advanced work in law done under the Faculties of Law and Political Science together. III. THE PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS. The Faculties of Law, Medicine, and Applied Science, conduct respectively the professional schools of Law, Medicine, and Mines, Chemistry; Engineering, and Architecture, to which students are admitted as candidates for professional degrees on terms prescribed by the faculties concerned. The faculty of Teachers' College conducts professional courses for teachers, that lead to a diploma of the university. 1. The SCHOOL OF LAW, established in 1858, offers a course of three years, in the principles and practice of private and public law, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Laws. 2. The COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS, founded in 1807, offers a course of four years, in the principles and practice of medicine and surgery, leading to the degree of Doctor of Medicine, 3. The SCHOOL OF MINES, founded in 1863, offers courses of study, each of four years, leading to a professional degree, in mining engineering and in metallurgy. 4. The SCHOOLS OF CHEMISTRY, ENGINEERING, AND ARCHITECTURE, set off from the School of Mines in 1896, offer respectively, courses of study, each of four years, leading to an appropriate professional degree, in analytical and applied chemistry; in civil, sanitary, electrical, and mechanical engineering; and in architecture. 5. TEACHERS COLLEGE, founded in 1888 and chartered in 1889, was included in the university in 1898. It offers the following course of study: (a) graduate courses leading to the Master's and Doctor's diplomas in the several departments of the College; (b) professional courses, each of two years, leading to the Bachelor's diploma for Secondary Teaching, Elementary Teaching, Kindergarten, Domestic Art, Domestic Science, Fine Arts, Music, and Manual Training; (c) a collegiate course of two years, which, if followed by a two years professional course, leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science. Certain of its courses may be taken without extra charge, by students of the University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts, and Doctor of Philosophy.

III JUNE, 1903 No. 6 MARITIME LIEN FOR DAMAGE. A very remarkable divergence exists in the laws of different States as to the position, as a creditor, of one whose property has been damaged by negligent navigation of a ship. This divergence is found in the limit set to the liability of the owner of the delinquent ship, and also in the rank given to the claim for damage amongst other claims against that ship. Responsibility of an employer to third persons for negligence of his employees is a fundamental principle in most systems of jurisprudence. But where the employer is a shipowner, and the employees are the master and crew of his ship, that principle is not fully enforced. Occasionally we hear voices bold enough to urge that it ought to be swept away altogether. Three systems of limiting a shipowner's responsibility are in force in leading Maritime States. One is that of confining the remedy of the person injured to a proceeding against the ship which has done the mischief, and her freight; so limiting the extent of the remedy to the value of that, as she stands, after first satisfying any prior claims against her. This prevails in Germany, Denmark and Norway. A second system is that of France, Belgium, and States which have followed the French code, and also I understand of the United States, under which a personal claim may be made against the shipowner; but may be got rid of by him by abandoning the ship to the creditors, in whatever state |
