BY FRANCIS B. PALMER, OF THE INNER TEMPLE, BARRISTER-AT-LAW. SECOND EDITION. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. FIRST EDITION. All the The precedents are, as a rule, exceedingly well drafted tes have been elaborated with a thoroughly scientific knowledge of the inciples of Company Law, as well as with copious references to the cases bstantiating the principles. Many authors, from indolence it may be, or rhaps incapacity, fall into the failing of making their books so elementary to be of little or no service to Counsel. Mr. Palmer has steered very wide of ch a fault as this. We venture to predict that his notes will be found of eat utility in guiding opinions on many complicated questions of Law and actice. The introductory notes on Debentures are particularly well worked "-Law Journal. "Notwithstanding the treatises, which have already appeared on the bject, there had never to our knowledge, been any attempt to collect and it a body of forms and precedents exclusively relating to the formation, rking, and winding-up of Companies. This task Mr. Palmer has taken in nd, and we are glad to say with much success. Not only the draftsmen, t secretaries, managing directors, and other officials will find in this volume ried precedents and forms which cannot fail to be of the greatest service to The author has evidently not been sparing of labour, and the its of his exertions are now before the legal profession in a work of great actical utility."-Law Magazine. em. "To those concerned in getting up Companies, the assistance given by Mr. lmer must be very valuable, because he does not confine himself to bare ecedents, but by intelligent and learned commentary lights up, as it were, ch step that he takes. The volume before us is not therefore a book of ecedents merely, but, in a greater or less degree, a treatise on certain rtions of the Companies Acts, 1862 and 1867.

"The vast amount of the capital embarked in the undertakings of Companies is a guarantee that the second edition of Mr. Palmer's Company Precedents, will not lack attention from shareholders, directors and counsel. The additions that have been made to the present edition are not of secondary interest; they comprise such essentials as directions for the composition of prospectuses and for practice in winding up and in arrangements with creditors We can confidently recommend Mr. Palmer's book to the large class whom it concerns."-The Times. "The first edition of this book appeared in 1877, and in our review of it we ' ventured to predict that Mr. Palmer's notes would be found of great practical utility in guiding opinions on many complicated questions of law and practice.' That this forecast has been fulfilled may be fairly asserted, not only from the appearance, thus early, of a second edition, but also from the reputation which Mr. Palmer's work has acquired In our review of the first edition we entered so fully into the scope and merits of Mr. Palmer's work, that it is unnecessary for us again to call attention thereto. In fact 'Palmer's Company Precedents' is too well known and has become too much of a standard work to require such treatment. To those who are acquainted with the first edition, we recommend the second as a great improvement; to those who are not, we recommend an early acquaintance therewith, if, either as lawyers or business men, they are in any way connected with Companies."-Law Journal. "The favourable opinion which we expressed of this work on its first issue, has been justified by the speedy demand for a second edition. Well designed and ably executed, it has proved of much practical utility to the draftsman. The present edition has been thoroughly revised Speaking from practical experience in the use of the volume, we can confidently recommend it to the profession."-Law Magazine. "Use of the first edition of Mr. Palmer's book in practice enables us to speak with some confidence of the excellence of its design and of the execution being on the whole careful and satisfactory. The present edition appears in a considerably enlarged form and includes a large number of new forms Both as regards memoranda and articles, we are glad to observe increased attention paid to the 'private' Company, which now occupies o much of the attention of the Company draftsman orders and precedents in winding up have been enormously increased in number, and are now a most complete collection, covering the proceedings at every stage. It will be seen that the scope the work has been largely increased."-Solicitors' Journal. Third Edition. Price 2/-, or by post 2/2.
