THE Second Edition of The "Law of Waters: Sea, Tidal, and Inland" was exhausted in 1909. Since its publication in 1902 various Acts of Parliament-amongst the most important of which are the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries Act, 1903, the Merchant Shipping Acts, 1906 and 1907, and the Port of London Act, 1908-have been passed; and more than 300 reported cases relating to the subject-matter of the work have been decided in the Courts. The authors have therefore thought that a new edition embodying these changes in the law may prove of value to the profession and the public.
