Post 8vo. 98. cloth.

A TREATISE ON THE LAW OF CONTRIBUTORIES in the Winding-up of Joint Stock Companies. By ROBERT COLLIER, of the Inner Temple, Esq., Barrister-at-Law.

"It is impossible after a perusal of the book to doubt that the author has honestly studied the subject, and has not contented himself with the practice of piecing together head notes from reports." Solicitors' Journal.

"Without making any quotations for the purpose of illustrating the above remarks, we think we are justified in commending this treatise to the favourable

consideration of the profession."-Law Journal.

"There is probably no branch of the law of contracts more difficult and intricate than this of contribution, and the cases quoted by Mr. Collier are treated with great discrimination, so that the book enables a man who has not made the subject a matter of special study to advise with comparatively small trouble to himself."-Irish Law Times.

"Mr. Powell's writing is singularly precise and condensed, without being at all dry, as those who have read his admirable Book of Evidence will attest. It will be seen, from our outline of the contents, how exhaustively the subject has been treated, and that it is entitled to be, that which it aspires to become,

the text-book on the Law of Carriers." -Law Times.

"The two chapters on the Railway and Canal Traffic Act, 1856, are quite new, and the recent cases under the provisions of that statute are analyzed in lucid language."-Law Magazine.

"This is a work of some power. The

Redman's Law of Arbitrations and Awards.

8vo. 12s. cloth.

A CONCISE TREATISE on the LAW of ARBITRATIONS and AWARDS, with an Appendix of Precedents and Statutes. By JOSEPH HAWORTH REDMAN, of the Middle Temple, Esq., Barrister-at-Law.

"Mr. Redman goes straight through his task, and gives his cases at the end of his propositions. The chief merit of the work is the singular lucidity with which the law is expounded. We give the work all the praise which it can claim when we say that the arrangement is good, the style clear, and the work exhaustive. There is a useful appendix of precedents and statutes, and a very good index."-Law Times.

"This is likely to prove a useful book in practice. All the ordinary law on the subject is given shortly and in a convenient and accessible form, and the index is a good one. The book is of a portable size and moderate price, and contains a fairly complete appendix of precedents. It is likely enough that it

will meet a demand both in the profession and amongst lay arbitrators."-Solicitors' Journal.

"It is a concise statement of the law on the questions which are likely to arise in the course of a reference or in subsequent proceedings which may be taken in regard to it. The precedents of awards are clearly and concisely drawn. The arrangement of chapters is conveniently managed. The law is clearly stated, and, so far as we can judge, all the important cases bearing directly on the subject are given, while the index appears reasonably copious. These facts, combined with the smallness of the volume, ought to make the book a success."-Law Journal.
