INSURANCE AND GENERAL AVERAGE, IN ENGLAND AND AMERICA; "The principles and practice of ' general average' are included in this able summary."-Standard. "The writer shows the necessity of assimilating the laws of all countries as regards Insurance and Average, and supports his views by introducing references to the laws of France and Germany. "The book is divided into 505 sections, each complete in itself; and these numbered paragraphs are divided and arranged under the separate headings. "The subject matter of the book, in every instance, is printed in large type, and the clauses followed by smaller letters of reference. This makes the work convenient for consultation; and the law cases being appended to every paragraph, with quotations from the laws of foreign countries, its conciseness in the mode of explanation tends to render the author's reasonings intelligible much more readily than they would otherwise have been if overlaid by laborious dissertations upon the causes and effects of decisions on disputed points. . . . .
