BY JOSIAH W. SMITH, B.C.L., Q.C. Thirteenth Edition. In 12mo. 1880. Price 12s. 6d., cloth. Notices of Former Editions. "Mr. Josiah Smith may claim the praise of reviving a compendious form of legal literature which was adopted by the best legal writers of the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries. The success of the book may be found in the answer to the question, what would the student do without some such short treatise? .. In the present, the whole scope of equity is brought into view in a clear and just relation between its parts, on a reduced scale. The result is admirably small in bulk; but the Author's labour necessary for such a result, even after his advantage of discipline as Editor of Fearne and Mitford, was far from small. But there is another class of learners; for a lawyer is a learner all his life. .. They can at once put their hand on a principle exact in its definition, and well ordered as to its place, in the Manual. To sum up all in a word, for the student and the jurisconsult, the Manual is the nearest approach to an equity code that the present literature of the law is able to furnish."-Law Times, Jan. 16, 1864. "It will be found as useful to the practitioner as to the student.”— Solicitors' Journal, Jan. 2, 1864. Mr. Smith's Manual has fairly won for itself the position of a standard work. Its great utility to the student has long been acknowledged; and the present edition has been made peculiarly valuable to practitioners." -Jurist, Jan. 30, 1864. "It is almost impossible to overrate the value of Mr. Smith's Manual." -Leguleian, Hil. Term, 1864. "It retains, and that deservedly, the reverence of both examiners and students."-From a Lecture on a Course of Reading by A. K. ROLLIT, LL.D., Gold Medallist of the University of London, and Prizeman of the Incorporated Law Society; published by Cox, 1866. "There is no disguising the truth; the proper mode to use this book is to learn its pages by heart; that is to say, such a familiarity should be sought with each paragraph as to render it a part of those possessions of the mind which form portions, as it were, of the mind itself, or rather of that apparatus which the mind unconsciously uses in framing its judgment on each subject. In conclusion, we must express our satisfaction that Mr. Smith has, by his literary labours, and especially by his share in framing the Consolidated Orders, earned for himself a distinction coveted by the most eminent advocate."*-Law Magazine and Review, May, 1861. * In the years 1858-60, the General Orders of the Court of Chancery, since the beginning of the reign of Rich. II., were consolidated by Mr. Josiah W. Smith and Mr. H. Cadman Jones, by the authority of the Lord Chancellors Lord Chelmsford and Lord Campbell. STEVENS & SONS, 119, CHANCERY LANE, LONDON.
