'We must express high satisfaction with this work,- -a better specimen of honest labour will not be found in the professional literature of the country. Mr. Mackay is entitled to the best acknowledgments of the profession for a work which is alike an honour to himself and to the Faculty with which he is connected.'-Scotsman. 'It is certainly a work which no person who has anything to do with the practice of our Supreme Courts can afford to do without.-Journal of Jurisprudence. The author has expressed himself as much as possible in words known south of the Tweed; his book will therefore be perfectly intelligible to English lawyers; and to such of them as may seek to know something of the northern judicatures we heartily commend it.'-Saturday Review. 'Some people may fancy that because the work is entitled "Practice of the Court of Session," it will only be of use to Edinburgh lawyers. This, however, is an entire mistake, not only for the reasons we have mentioned, but also because Mr. Mackay has given a careful exposition of those numerous matters in which the Sheriff Court alone has jurisdiction, or else one concurrent with the Court of Session. The book is, in short, one that every agent in large practice will do well to have.'-Glasgow News. 'Professor Mackay has written a work which far surpasses anything of the kind that was ever attempted before,. ..a most complete and philosophical treatise on the Court of Session and its procedure, as well as a monument of the extensive erudition and painstaking research of the learned author.'-Courant. No one can read many pages of Mr. Mackay's book without feeling that the author has not only made an attempt in the right direction, but that he has not fallen short of the high standard which he set before himself. No more skilful, accurate, complete, and exhaustive treatise on the whole practice of Scots Law could be desired.'-Glasgow Herald 'We have found this work esentially serviceable.'-Irish Law Times. |
