12 STEVENS & HAYNES, BELL YARD, TEMPLE BAR. Third Edition, in 8vo., price 205., cloth, THE PRINCIPLES OF EQUITY. Intended for the Use of Students and the Profession. BY EDMUND H. T. SNELL, OF THE MIDDLE TEMPLE, BARRISTER-AT-LAW. THIRD EDITION. BY JOHN R. GRIFFITH, of Lincoln's Inn, Barrister-at-Law. This Work has become a Standard Class-Book in England, Ireland, "The second edition of this Treatise was noticed in this Review in October, 1872; the first edition had appeared in 1868. We are glad to see evidence of its growing popularity. As a second book in equity we are inclined to think it is the best which has been published. Mr. Snell's Treatise presents compactly, and (considering the size of the book) with remarkable comprehensiveness, the leading points on the various heads of Equity jurisdiction. Its selection of the most recent Cases is very valuable for the student and for the practitioner who desires a convenient vade-mecum, this book can be safely recommended."-American Law Review, January, 1875. "We know of no better introduction to the Principles of Equity. While affording to the Student an insight to principles of which as yet he is not master, it places at the service of those familiar with the doctrines of Equity, the most recent cases establishing or qualifying well understood principles.” CANADA LAW JOURNAL. "Equity can never be made easy, nor is it desirable that it should be so; but in the fact of the large equitable jurisdiction conferred recently -that is, since 1853-upon Common Law Courts, and the extension of equitable principles and rules, to the exclusion of Common Law, contemplated by the Judicature Bill, it behoves every practitioner to know as much as possible of equity with as little expense of time as possible, and for this purpose we know of no better work than Mr. Snell's. It presents in a small compass the substance of 'The Leading Cases,' and of Story's work on 'Equity Jurisprudence;' while students will be delighted to find clear, logical, and intelligible explanations of its most mysterious process and development. The work professes to be based on the lectures of Mr. Birkbeck, but it has now reached its third edition in a few years, and is admirably noted up with the latest decisions and enactments. We find particularly good information concerning the equitable and statutable rights of married women, and the priorities of equitable and legal, registered and unregistered, mortgages. Counsel, attorney, and student, will find it a useful, and especially a safe guide in what it professes to teach."-Irish Law Times. "The great merit of the book now under consideration is its scientific arrangement and accuracy. It, therefore, becomes a most excellent guide to those Common Lawyers who have somehow ac- "We have received the third edition of Snell's Equity, by Mr. J. R. Griffith, The statute and case law has been brought down to the time of publication, and this admirable standard work may therefore be used without any more assistance than is afforded by the current reports."-Law Times. STEVENS & HAYNES, BELL YARD, TEMPLE BAR. 13 In one volume, 8vo., 1874, price 18s., cloth, PRINCIPLES OF CONVEYANCING. AN ELEMENTARY WORK FOR THE USE OF STUDENTS. By HENRY C. DEANE, of Lincoln's Inn, Barrister-at-Law, sometime Lecturer to the Incorporated Law Society of the United Kingdom. "Mr. Deane is one of the Lecturers of the Incorporated Law Society, and in his elementary work intended for the use of students, he embodies some lectures given at the hall of that society. It would weary our readers to take them over the ground necessarily covered by Mr. Deane. The first part is devoted to Corporeal Hereditaments, and the second to Conveyancing. The latter is prefaced by a very interesting "History of Conveyancing," and for practical purposes the chapter (Ch. 2, Part II.) on Conditions of Sale is decidedly valuable. The most recent legislation is handled by Mr. Deane in connexion with the old law, the Judicature Act and the Vendor and Purchaser Act both being considered in this chapter on Conditions of Sale. We might make some interesting quotations, but the work is one which those engaged in conveyancing should purchase and put on their shelves, and welcome it with the recommendations which we have already recorded."-Law Times. "We hope to see this book, like Snell's Equity, a standard class-book in all Law Schools where English law is taught."-CANADA LAW JOURNAL. "This is, as its author states, a purely elementary work. It may indeed be called the A B C of conveyancing. In the clearest and simplest language the student will find an outline, firstly, of the various forms of ownership in land, and, secondly, of the ordinary modes of conveyances used in transferring such land from one person to another. The second portion is founded upon lectures that were delivered by the author at the Incorporated Law Society, and is accordingly very clear and practical. The whole work is very well and thoroughly done. Mr. Deane has, we believe, succeeded in writing the very simplest work ever published on the abstruse subject of conveyancing; and has by his language and illustrations, explained points of law in a way that cannot be misunderstood. For this reason, and as being the most elementary work combining the elements of real property law with the principles of practical conveyancing, we can heartily recommend it as a first book on the subject of which it treats. As such we should think it would be both worthy and suitable to be named as one of the books that are required to be read as a preparation for the various Law Examinations."-The Law. "We can confidently recommend Mr. Deane's work on the Principles of Conveyancing.' It is not exhaustive, and does not pretend to go fully into the laws of trusts, powers, or remainders, but it fully explains the several different legal and equitable estates in land and the tenure of land, and the modes of alienation used in conveyances inter vivos and by will. It also fully explains the meaning and value of the several parts of the conveyances, the covenants, conditions, provisoes, exceptions and reservations, habendums, and the proper form of recitals, &c., &c.-a point frequently neglected in other and more pretentious treatises. It contains excellent chapters on purchase deeds, leases, mortgages, settlements, and wills; and, in addition, Mr. Deane treats of conditions of sale most fully and clearly. It seems essentially the book for young conveyancers, and will, probably, in many cases supplant Williams. It is, in fact, a modern adaptation of Mr. Watkin's book on conveyancing, and is fully equal to its prototype."-Irish Law Times. "A general review of the scope of Mr. Deane's volume and a perusal of several of its chapters have brought us to the conclusion that, though its contents are purely elementary, and it contains nothing which is not familiar to the practitioner, it may be extremely useful to students, and especially to those gentlemen who are candidates for the various legal examinations. There are so many questions set now on case law that they would do well to peruse this treatise of Mr. Deane's, and use it in conjunction with a book of questions and answers. They will find a considerable amount of equity case law, especially in the second part of Mr. Deane's book, which comprises in substance some lectures delivered by the author at the Law Institution."-Law Journal. "As Mr. Deane's work is addressed to the rising generation of conveyancers, ⚫ students entering upon the difficulties of real property law,' it may be presumed that he does not fear the immediate annihilation of that noble science in its traditional forms by any legislative changes. The first part of the volume is composed of a series of chapters on corporeal hereditaments, and the second part of some lectures on conveyancing recently delivered by the author at the Law Institution. It is enough to say that Mr. Deane writes clearly and to the point."Saturday Review. 14 STEVENS & HAYNES, BELL YARD, TEMPLE BAR. In one volume, 8vo., 1874, price 215., cloth, A NEW LAW DICTIONARY, AND Institute of the whole Law; EMBRACING FRENCH AND LATIN TERMS, AND REFERENCES TO THE BY ARCHIBALD BROWN, M.A. Edin. and Oxon, and B.C.L. Oxon, of the Middle Temple, Barrister-at-Law, Author of the "Law of Fixtures," "Analysis of Savigny's Obligations in Roman Law, &c. "Mr. Brown has succeeded in the first essential, that of brevity. He has compressed into a wonderfully small compass a greal deal of matter. Our impression is that the work has been carefully executed.”—SOLICITORS' JOURNAL. "For the purposes of working law students nothing could be more useful. Besides explaining every legal term, new and old, the author gives short notes upon points of law, which are excellent specimens of clear and compressed writing. References to cases and statutes are abundant, as also to the best text writers on each subject. As an example of Mr. Brown's resolute endeavour to reduce even the vaguest and widest portions of our law to some clear first principles, we may refer readers to the title 'Fraud,' where they will find nine columns of compressed learning scientifically arranged. French and Roman law terms and doctrines are also carefully explained, while even the growth and character of the British Constitution are shortly but clearly set out under their proper headings. As already stated, the book is, for students, invaluable; but members of the profession will also find it useful for ready reference; and certainly the public could find a great deal of curious information in its pages. 66 -The Law. In Mr. A. Brown's 'New Law Dictionary,' the object has been to present a complete institute of the whole law of England, expressing briefly, but without inaccuracy or meagreness, the rules and principles of the common law, of Chancery law, of real property or conveyancing law, of mercantile law, of constitutional law, and of public or general, that is, international law. In carrying out this comprehensive scheme the author has arranged the rules and principles of doctrine, evidence, or procedure in lexicographical order, giving prominence to modern law, but giving the ancient law when serviceable in explaining modern principles or phrases. This work, laborious and difficult as it was, has been admirably carried out, and the work is really what it professes to be, a complete compendium. An index to a dictionary is a novelty, but from the exceptional nature of the contents an index was likely to be most useful, and accordingly Mr. Brown has prefixed to the book a copious index by which a student can at once turn to the main body of the work and obtain the information he requires. Authorities and cases are abundantly cited, and Mr. Brown can claim with justice to call his book an institute of the whole law."—Standard. He "In a modest preface Mr. Brown introduces us to a rather ambitious work. has endeavoured to compress into less than four hundred pages the whole law of England, and has evidently bestowed much pains on the execution of the task. He does not, however, aim at anything higher than rendering a service to students preparing for the Bar or for the lower branch of the profession, and there can be no doubt that he has produced a book of reference which will be useful to the class he has had in view. Mr. Brown has perhaps done about as much as any one, not a rare genius, could do, and his Dictionary will be serviceable to those who are in want of hints and references, and are content with a general idea of a law or legal principle. It is a handy book to have at one's elbow." -Saturday Review. "This book has now been for some time published, and we have had many opportunities of referring to it. We find it an admirable Law Dictionary, and something more, inasmuch as it contains elaborate historical and antiquarian analyses of our legal system under the several headings. The student and the literary man will find the book very useful in reading and writing. Indeed the people who are not lawyers, but who nevertheless feel a desire or are under a necessity to use legal terms, or who meet them in their course of study, cannot do better than obtain a copy of this work and use it judiciously; they will thereby be enabled to avoid the ludicrous errors into which novelists in particular, and public speakers too, are often led by the inappropriate use of terms whose meanings they do not perfectly comprehend.”—IRISH LAW TIMES.

BY WILLIAM M. P. COGHLAN, BOMBAY CIVIL SERVICE, JUDGE AND SESSIONS JUDGE OF TANNA. "Mr. Coghlan, Judge and Sessions Judge of Tanna, has prepared an epitome of some Hindoo law cases as a guide to the law reports and to the standard text-books. Apart from its professional value, it presents a curious picture of Hindoo customs and ideas on various subjects, such as marriage, family ties, &c."Saturday Review. GAIUS AND JUSTINIAN, With copious References arranged in Parallel Columns, also Chronological and Primarily designed for the Use of Students preparing for Examination at BY SEYMOUR F. HARRIS, B.C.L., M.A., OF WORCESTER COLLEGE, OXFORD, AND THE INNER TEMPLE, BARRISTER-AT-LAW; "Mr. Harris's digest ought to have very great success among law students both in the Inns of Court and the Universities. His book gives evidence of praiseworthy accuracy and laborious condensation."-LAW JOURNAL. "This book contains a summary in English of the elements of Roman Law as contained in the works of Gaius and Justinian, and is so arranged that the reader can at once see what are the opinions of either of these two writers on each point. From the very exact and accurate references to titles and sections given he can at once refer to the original writers. The concise manner in which Mr. Harris has arranged his digest will render it most useful, not only to the students for whom it was originally written, but also to those persons who, though they have not the time to wade through the larger treatises of Poste, Sanders, Ortolan, and others, yet desire to obtain some knowledge of Roman Law.”OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE Undergraduates' JOURNAL. "Mr. Harris deserves the credit of having produced an epitome which will be of service to those numerous students who have no time or sufficient ability to analyse the Institutes for themselves."-LAW TIMES.
