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.

"We can honestly recommend Mr. Dowell's work to our readers as being well done in every respect.
