CASES ON CRIMINAL LAW. By JOSEPH HENRY BEALE, Jr., Assistant Professor of Law in Harvard University. Harvard Law Review Publishing Association. Professor BEALE, in his recent work upon selected cases from the Criminal Law, has placed before the profession a work which is entitled to the highest appreciation. In the arrangement of the cases, Professor BEALE has brought into accessible form, and disencumbered of text, what has been heretofore involved in text and note and almost concealed in the accretion of years of legal literature. In the reported cases, the Bench, speaking, give the reason "for the faith." The cases present the Criminal Law in clear, concise and forcible terms, that are easily apprehendible. The work evinces thoughtful care in the selection of the cases and an intelligent appreciation of the principles of the law concerned in the arrangement. The range of the cases is from the carly times of reported cases to the more recent English and American periods. The author, in presenting a principle of the Criminal Law, selects a case which elucidates it so clearly that the reason therefor stands forth as a model of perspicuity. Professor BEALE, with great modesty, announces that the "collection of cases is chiefly intended for the use of classes in the schools." As a method of enabling the student to grasp the legal principle contained in the discussion of the case by the paths of thought, the syllabus has been dispensed with. An index, however, with the case in point, is attached to the work. To the lawyer, the case involving the principle is readily ascertained, and to the student, the cases being grouped under the appropriate headings, the defined purpose of Professor BEALE is accomplished, the development of the mind by its exercise and the acquirement of a legal principle through the continuity of thought. The system thus adopted has its decided advantages. The lawyer is quickly recompensed in finding his case, and the student receives the mental impulse in mastering the principle in the discussion. The work of Professor BEALE is well worthy the lawyer's perusal, and to the seeker after legal principles, careful study. JOHN A. SINER. INDEX. AMENDMENT OF STATUTE. See Constitutional Law.
