Just published, in Post Svo., 2nd Edition, price 7s. 6d. PRECEDENTS OF LEASES "In the second edition of this neat little volume many additions have been made. Notices to quit, and other notices under the Agricultural Holdings Act, the Act itself, and the Settled Estates Act, 1877, have of course been incorporated. But the revision of the precedents and of the notes, and the extension of the latter, are really the elements of value. The precedents, on the whole, are well adapted, and the notes concise and pertinent, and the volume will be found of considerable utility to solicitors."-The Law Journal. "A precedent is much more useful to the conveyancer than what is known as a form. The form is prepared in advance to cover all cases within a certain class, while the precedent only undertakes to show how certain cases actually existing were met. Both are designed as guides, but to one the ground is unknown, while to the other it is to a certain extent familiar. We are glad, therefore, to welcome books which profess to aid the draftsman by furnishing him with the best examples of what has been done, and we esteem the volume before us as a book of that kind. It covers only a single subject, but one of growing importance in these days, when so large a proportion of the people either live or do business on leased premises. The work will be found chiefly useful in England, but it contains many hints that will be advantageous to The precedents it gives are taken from those in American conveyancers. constant use. They have all been carefully revised, and many of them have been settled by counsel. The various clauses and provisions are illustrated by notes referring to reported decisions, which embrace the leading points usually met in practice. The satisfaction which the work has given is indicated by the fact that a second edition has been called for a somewhat unusual thing in books of this kind."-The Albany Law Journal.
