"Mr. Davis says that his object has been to combine a popular comment with a strictly practical treatise. this he has completely succeeded. The book is in every respect careful and thoughtful, it gives the best reading of the law which we have, and furnishes in extenso all the Acts of Parliament relating to the subject."-Law Times.

"Mr. Davis's book is not a reprint of the acts with a few notes, but an original and complete treatise, and it will be appreciated by those who are concerned in the working of the Labour Laws."-Law Journal.

"The Labour Laws' are the subject of a treatise by Mr. J. E. Davis which magistrates and practitioners will find useful."-Daily News.

"A good book on this subject should fulfil two distinct functions by no means easy to combine. It should afford a clear and untechnical explanation of the law for the benefit of the magistrates who will have to administer, and it should also contain a careful and accurate commentary on the law for the benefit of lawyers. Mr. Davis has, in our opinion, successfully fulfilled both these requisites. Mr. Davis may be congratulated upon having produced a book which will probably become the

standard work on this important subject."-Solicitors' Journal.

"The work will undoubtedly increase the reputation of the author, and may be regarded as essential to all who have to administer the law."-Capital and Labour.

"The work is intended to be, and no doubt will become a text-book for the profession and for those who will have to administer the law."-Beehive.

"The best exposition that we know of, of the Labour Laws of the country."Echo.

"A new and important work on the Labour Laws. Mr. Davis's special knowledge of these statutes eminently fits him for the work."-Sheffield Daily Independent.

"We can only assure our readers that we conscientiously estimate the work as one upon the possession of which they will congratulate themselves."-Irish Law Times.

"There is much information in the Labour Laws of 1875 which is of importance to ironmasters, colliery proprietors, and all employers of manual labour, and to them we recommend Mr. Davis's book with confidence."-London Iron Trade Exchange.

"Messrs. Mozley & Whiteley, by the wording of their title-page, seem to have set brevity before them as the special feature of their work, which is comprised within little more than 500 pages. As a handy-book for the desk, and as containing general accuracy with brevity, we have no doubt that Messrs. Mozley & Whiteley's Concise Law Dictionary will meet with a large amount of favour."— Law Magazine.

"This book is a great deal more modest in its aims than the law dictionary we received a little while ago. Its main object is to explain briefly legal terms both ancient and modern. In many cases, however, the authors have added a concise statement of the law. But as the work is intended both for lawyers and the public at large, it does not profess to give more than an outline of the doctrines referred to under the several headings. Having regard to this design, we think the work is well and carefully executed. It is exceedingly complete."-Solicitors' Journal.

"This book contains a large mass of information more or less useful. A considerable amount both of labour and learning has evidently been expended upon it, and to the general public it may be recommended as a reliable and useful guide. Law students desirous of cramming will also find it acceptable.”—Law Times.

"The authors of the above work do not profess to address themselves solely to the members of the legal profession; their object has been to produce a book which shall also be useful to the general public by giving clear yet concise explanations of the legal terms and phrases in past and present use, and we think they have satisfactorily performed their task." -Justice of the Peace.

"It should contain everything of value to be found in the other larger works, and it should be useful, not merely to

the legal profession but also to the general public. Now the work of Messrs. Mozley & Whiteley appears to fulfil those very conditions, and while it assists the lawyer will be no less useful to his client. On the whole, we repeat that the work is a praiseworthy performance, which deserves a place in the libraries both of the legal profession and of the general public."-Irish Law Times.

"The Concise Law Dictionary, by Mr. H. Mozley and Mr. G. Whiteley, is not only concise but compendious, and is well adapted for those who desire to refresh the memory or obtain a succinct explanation of legal terms without going through a mass of details."-Saturday Review.

"The book contains much useful information, and as the price is moderate, and the ordinary terms of English law appear to be well explained, we may conscientiously recommend the Concise Law Dictionary to the young lawyer and student."-Athenæum.

"This work will supply a want felt by many, as well among law students as the general public, of an explanatory index of legal terms and phrases, complete to the present time, and at the same time moderate in bulk. To such, too, it may be recommended for its many concise supplementary expositions of the law bearing upon the subject-matter of many of the titles indexed."-Nonconformist.

"In many cases its greater brevity is an advantage, enabling the book to be consulted with more rapidity and promptitude."-Daily News.

The compilers being scholars and gentlemen, have taken pains and made their book a valuable one, of which we can prophesy new and even improved editions."-Publishers' Circular.

"An extremely handy book of reference as to the meaning of legal terms and phrases."-Bookseller.

"Mr. C. P. Phillips has in his very complete, elaborate and useful volume presented us with an excellent view of the present law as well as the practice relating to lunacy."-Law Magazine and Review.

"The work is one on which the author has evidently bestowed great pains, and which not only bears the mark of great application and research, but which shows a familiarity with the subject."-Justice of the Peace.

Barrister-at-Law.

"This work has built up for itself, in the experienced opinion of the profession, a very high reputation for carefulness, accuracy and lucidity. This reputation is fully maintained in the present edition. The law of securities upon property is confessedly intricate, and probably, as the author justly observes, embraces a greater variety of learning than any other single branch of the English law. At the same time an accurate knowledge of it is essential to every practising barrister, and of daily requirement among solicitors. To all such we can confidently recommend Mr. Fisher's work, which will, moreover, prove most useful reading for the student, both as a storehouse of information and as an intellectual exercise."-Law Magazine.

Those who are familiar with the work know that it is never prolix, that it is accurate and complete: and we think that the present edition will not diminish its reputation in these respects. On subjects upon which we have examined it we have found the cases diligently collected and carefully stated, and the effect of the new legislation very concisely given. The various points upon which the Judicature Act has a bearing on Mr. Fisher's subject are very well annotated; and not only on this subject, but as the general result of an examination of this edition, we can say that it contains evidence of unremitting care and industry."-Solicitors' Journal.

"His work has long been known as the standard work on the law of mortgages, and he has now published his third edition. The object and scope of his work is probably familiar to most of our

readers. It is, as the author himself says,

to explain the nature of the different kinds of securities, the rights and equities which they create, and the manner of and circumstances attending their discharge.' The earlier parts of the work have been recast and now appear in the language and arrangement used in the completed part of the Digest of the Law of Mortgage and Lien,' which Mr. Fisher designed and executed for the Digest Commission. This system of classification, by adoption of comprehensive and formally stated propositions, is the right mode of framing a work of this nature, and the present edition of Mr. Fisher's work is, without doubt, a vast improvement on the last edition. The form and style admit of little exception. The work is not much enlarged in bulk; but, besides the new statutes and decisions relating to the subject, the author has added a great number of references to contemporary reports not formerly cited. In conclusion we may compliment Messrs. Butterworth on the excellent type and correct printing of these volumes, and the handsome and convenient style in which they have been got up."-Law Journal.

We have received the third edition of the Law of Mortgage, by William Richard Fisher, Barrister-at-Law, and we are very glad to find that vast improvements have been made in the plan of the work, which is due to the incorporation therein of what Mr. Fisher designed and executed for the abortive Digest Commission. In its present form, embracing as it does all the statute and case law to the present time, the work is one of great value." -Law Times.

"We are glad to see that Mr. Robson's learned work on bankruptcy has reached a third edition. As a systematic treatise on the important branch of law to which it relates it has long held a deservedly high place in the estimation of the profession. The author has evidently spared no pains to make the present edition worthy of continued support by a painstaking general revision, and by incorporating the results of all important decisions affecting both the general law of bankruptcy and the practice under the act of 1869. The historical retrospect of bankruptcy legislation contained in Mr. Robson's work is by no means one of its least instructive and useful features. In the case of the third edition of so well known a work it is unnecessary to go much into details, especially as the author has retained the original arrangement, correcting and supplementing where necessary. The references to cases are numerous throughout, and the notes are short and to the point. The Index is both copious and good."-Law Magazine, May, 1877.

"In the new edition we observe that the author has used his best endeavours to maintain the credit of his work. He has diligently collected the cases decided on bankruptcy law and practice since 1872, and has set forth in the proper places in the volume the substance of the decisions contained in those cases; and we further observe that he has taken

pains to give references to the various sets of reports, so as to render his book in this respect of equal value to every practitioner. There is, also, a copious Index. Any one to whose lot it has fallen to grapple with questions in bankruptcy practice will appreciate this part of the author's labours."-Law Journal

"We have always considered the last edition of Mr. Robson's book a model of careful editing, and in our opinion this edition does not fall below the same level. The new decisions are brought down in the Addenda to an unusually recent date, and are noted with great accuracy. There is no scissors-and-paste work here: the effect of the cases is weighed and their result stated in as few words as possible. Mr. Robson is very cautious, and does not frequently volunteer an opinion, but he nevertheless occasionally draws attention to mistaken views of the law, and flaws which ought to be amended by the legislature." -Solicitors' Journal.

"We welcome the third edition of Mr. Robson's Law and Practice in Bankruptcy. No alteration has been made in the scheme of the work, and none was required. The author does not pretend to have done more than to revise the text and index and note up the cases. We have already expressed a high opinion of the work, which has been confirmed by frequent reference to its pages."Law Times.

"A comprehensive treatise on the subject of the Law of Trade Marks. We can recommend Mr. Adams' work to the favourable attention of patentees, manufacturers and others interested in the use of trade marks."-Chambers of Commerce Chronicle.

"The subject of trade marks is beset with difficulties, in the elucidation of which this work will be valuable."City Press.

A second issue of this work has been rendered necessary by the Act of 1875, which came into force in July of the same year, and which almost revolutionized the law upon the subject. Every

thing has been brought down to the latest dates, and the new act, together with the Lord Chancellor's rules, will be found in the added Appendix."Standard.

"Any one who is the owner of trade marks should certainly not be without this book. The subject is treated very ably throughout, and the list of illustrative cases which are given will enable the most illiterate to comprehend the state of the law. We are not aware of any better work on the subject of trade marks than the work before us."-The Ironmonger.
