To the practitioner this work of Dr. Barclay's is invaluable, as containing all the authorities bearing on the subject of which it treats, and offering a ready reference to the decisions of the Supreme Courts both of Scotland and England. To the country gentleman who, as a road trustee or justice of the peace, has to administer the law, it is indispensable; and to the advocates of road reform the Digest of Cases will furnish the strongest argument for an alteration in a system of maintaining highways which gives rise to such a mass of litigation.'-Glasgow Herald.

THE LAW OF SCOTLAND.

BY

JAMES LORIMER, ADVOCATE, M.A., F.R.S.E., Professor of Public Law in the University of Edinburgh.

FOURTH EDITION.

BY

RUSSELL BELL, ADVOCATE.

'All the characteristics which have from the first given value to this compendium are retained, while it has been brought down to the present date.`Scotsman.

'Within the compass of 576 pages, it presents an amount of information far exceeding what is afforded by many diffuse and unsystematic works of thrice its size.'-Irish Law Times.

'We appreciate the care with which Mr. Bell has brought the work abreast of the law of the day, and that not the least valuable feature of the treatise is the copious and intelligent index with which it is furnished.'-Glasgow News.

'It is hardly necessary, at this time of day, to say anything about Professor Lorimer's well-known handbook. . . . . Its size is extremely convenient, and there are few legal works which contain so much accurate information in so small a space.'-Journal of Jurisprudence.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

From The Dumfries Courier.'

The "Digest" will unquestionably come into very general use, and be looked upon as a kind of daily remembrancer; and, from its clear and lucid style, freed as it is from all technicalities, the work is well suited for the perusal of Justices of the Peace and others."

The most complete compendium of our law which, in the convenient form of a Dictionary, has yet appeared.'

From The Aberdeen Journal.'

'A work of inestimable value to the legal profession in general, and all Justices of the Peace in particular.'

From The Courant.'

A TREATISE

ON

OF LAWS,

THE CONFLICT OF

AND THE LIMITS OF THEIR OPERATION IN RESPECT OF
PLACE AND TIME.

BY FRIEDRICH CARL VON SAVIGNY.

Translated, with Notes, by WILLIAM GUTHRIE, Advocate.

WITH AN APPENDIX CONTAINING THE TREATISES OF BARTOLUS, MOLINEUS, PAUL VOET, AND HUBER.

'Savigny, for the first time in modern days, brought to this subject original thought In Savigny's system of the Roman Private Law, as at the present time, he devotes a volume to the consideration of Private International Law, in which he exhibits all the genius and power which have placed him at the head of scientific jurists in modern days, and given him a place equal to that occupied in former times by Cujacius.'—Fraser's Treatise on the Law of Parent and Child.

'Savigny's System of Modern Roman Law is perhaps the greatest work on jurisprudence which our age has produced, and Mr. Guthrie has done good service by introducing one section of it in an English dress to English lawyers and students. We hope that success will induce the translator to continue his useful labours, and that other parts of the same work will be produced, until the whole of it is made accessible to the profession in England.'-Law Times.

The eighth volume of the System is well chosen for translation separately, both because it was regarded by its author as a complete and independent work, and also because it treats of matters which must be of constant practical importance in a country which has so many international rights and liabilities as our own. The law of domicile, in particular, is one which must, at the present time, attract much attention.'-Athenæum. 'Mr. Guthrie's excellent translation.'-Professor LORIMER'S Institutes of Law.

'Mr. Guthrie's valuable translation of Savigny.' . . . 'Mr. Guthrie's learned notes.'WHARTON'S Conflict of Laws, Philadelphia, 1872.

"This second edition will obtain, as it deserves, the same favourable reception as the first; and Mr. Guthrie is entitled to no small thanks for the care which he has bestowed on the book.'-Scotsman.

'We most heartily welcome a second edition of this valuable work.'-Journal of Jurisprudence.

'Mr. Guthrie has done his work of editing with his usual exemplary care and skill. He has printed no rubbish, he has wasted no words, he has fished with a long net, but classified judiciously, and he has always given the necessary information at the right place, keeping a steady eye to the readability and utility of his compendious compilation.' -Scotsman.

We trust the present volume may have the wide circulation amongst Sheriffs and Sheriff Court practitioners which it unquestionably deserves.' Journal of Jurisprudence.
