PREFACE TO THE SEVENTH EDITION.

In bringing out this Edition more than usual labour has been required, by reason of the necessity of setting out under the several headings the effect of the Arbitration Act, 1889 (52 & 53 Vict. c. 49).

This Statute deals with the whole subject of Arbitration, and though, for the most part, it substantially re-enacts and simplifies the old law, each clause of the Act demanded very careful consideration.

Mr. FRANCIS RUSSELL, the Author of this Work, died in the month of May last, but the preparation of the whole Book for the press had been completed by my father and myself together shortly before his last illness. It is hoped, therefore, that it may merit and meet with as favourable a reception as has been accorded to the other Six Editions.

HERBERT RUSSELL.
