By JOSIAH W. SMITH, B.C.L., Q. C. SEVENTH EDITION. 1864. "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 . . . In 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 advantages 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 one 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, Solicitors' Journal, Jan. 2, 1864. "It will be found as useful to the practitioner as to the student."— "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; tioners."--Jurist, Jan. 30, 1864. and the present edition has been made peculiarly valuable to practi 1864. Leguleian, Hil. Term, 1864. "It is almost impossible to over-rate the value of Mr. Smith's Manual.” "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.

"Mr. Morgan's work merits the highest commendation for its usefulness, simplicity, and completeness.
