THE PROBATE, LEGACY, AND SUCCESSION DUTY ACTS:

Comprising 36 Geo. III. cap. 52; 45 Geo. III. cap. 28; 55 Geo. III. cap. 184; and 16 & 17 Vict. cap. 51; with an Introduction, copious Notes and References to all the decided Cases in England, Scotland and Ireland, to Michaelmas Term 1870; together with an Appendix of Statutes, Forms, Tables of Duties, and a full Index. By ALFRED HANSON, Esq., Comptroller of Legacy and Succession Duties.

"It is the only complete book upon a subject of great importance, but which does not come within the regular course of professional study, and therefore requires to be read up when a case having reference to it comes into the solicitor's office.

"Mr. Hanson is peculiarly qualified to be the adviser at such a time. Hence, a volume without a rival."-Law Times.

Since Mr. Hanson produced his first edition he has been appointed Comptroller of Legacy and Succession Duties. His book is in itself a most useful one; its author knows every in and out of the subject, and has presented the whole in a form easily and readily handled, and with good arrangement and clear exposition."-Solicitors' Journal.

REVIEWS.

"A work which aims at being so absolutely complete, as that of Mr. Joyce upon a subject which is of almost perpetual recurrence in the Courts, cannot fail to be a welcome offering to the profession and, doubtless, it will be well received and largely used, for it is as absolutely complete as it aims at being. . . . . This work is, therefore, eminently a work for the practitioner, being full of practical utility in every page, and every sentence, of it..... We have to congratulate the profession on this new acquisition to a digest of the law, and the author on his production of a work of permanent utility and-fame."-Law Magasine and Review.

"Mr. Joyce has produced not a treatise but a complete and compendious exposition of the Law and Practice of Injunctions both in equity and common law.

"Part III. is devoted to the practice of the Courts. Contains an amount of valuable and technical matter nowhere else collected.

"From these remarks it will be sufficiently perceived what elaborate and painstaking industry, as well as legal knowledge and ability, has been necessary in the compilation of Mr. Joyce's work. No labour has been spared to save the practitioner labour, and no research has been omitted which could tend towards the elucidation and exemplification of the general principles of the Law and Practice of Injunctions."-Law Journal.

"He does not attempt to go an inch beyond that for which he has express written authority; he allows the cases to speak, and does not speak for them.

"The work is something more than a treatise on the Law of Injunctions. It gives us the general law on almost every subject to which the process of injunction is applicable. Not only English, but American decisions are cited, the aggregate number being 3,500, and the statutes cited 160, whilst the index is, we think, the most elaborate we have ever seen-occupying nearly 200 pages. The work is probably entirely exhaustive."-Law Times.

He has been

"Mr. Joyce's work, within the limits which he has assigned himself, is well done. evidently diligent in the collection of cases, and the points decided are stated with accuracy, and with more fulness of detail than in any work on injunctions with which we are familiar. It cannot fail to be useful in instructing practitioners in the proper employment of this much abused method of procedure.”— American Law Review.

"Mr. Joyce has produced a clear, scientific, and thorough treatise upon the subject of injunctions which, unlike most English works, will be nearly as useful to the American as to the English practitioner. "We doubt if there can be a single case of any note found upon injunctions in the English law that is not cited in these volumes."—Chicago Legal News.

"This work, considered either as to its matter or manner of execution, is no ordinary work. It is a complete and exhaustive treatise both as to the law and the practice of granting injunctions. It must supersede all other works on the subject. The terse statement of the practice will be found of incalculable value. We know of no book as suitable to supply a knowledge of the law of injunctions to our common law friends as Mr. Joyce's exhaustive work. It is alike indispensable to members of the Common Law and Equity Bars. Mr. Joyce's great work would be a casket without a key unless accompanied by a good index. His index is very full and well arranged. We feel that this work is destined to take its place as a standard text-book, and the text-book on the particular subject of which it treats. The author deserves great credit for the very great labour bestowed upon it. The publishers, as usual, have acquitted themselves in a manner deserving of the high reputation they bear."-Canada Law Journal.

LEADING CASES IN CONSTITUTIONAL LAW

BRIEFLY STATED,

With Introduction, Excursuses, and Notes. By ERNEST C. THOMAS, Bacon Scholar of the Hon. Society of Gray's Inn, late Scholar of Trinity College, Oxford.

EXTRACT FROM AUTHOR'S PREFACE.

Some knowledge of the chief cases in Constitutional Law is now required in many examinations, and is obviously necessary to the thorough student of our constitutional history. Yet there has existed no book briefly setting out the main principles decided in these cases, which are scattered through many volumes, and buried in prolix reports.

What I have endeavoured to do is to extract the essence of all the cases with which the student is expected to be familiar, preserving always something of the concrete circumstance that is so helpful to the memory; to add, where necessary, a short note to the individual case; and to subjoin to each important group of cases some general remarks in the shape of an excursus. The cases are so arranged as to be convenient for ready reference, and while the treatment is very concise, I hope that it is sufficiently

accurate.

CASES & OPINIONS ON CONSTITUTIONAL LAW,

AND VARIOUS POINTS OF ENGLISH JURISPRUDENCE. Collected and Digested from Official Documents and other Sources; with Notes. By WILLIAM FORSYTH, M.A., Q.C., Standing Counsel to the Secretary of State in Council of India, Author of "Hortensius,' History of Trial by Jury," "Life of Cicero," etc., late Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.

From the CONTEMPORARY REVIEW. "We cannot but regard with interest a book which, within moderate compass, presents us with the opinions or responsa of such lawyers and statesmen as Somers, Holt, Hardwicke, Mansfield, and, to come down to our own day, Lyndhurst, Abinger, Denman, Cranworth, Campbell, St. Leonards, Westbury, Chelmsford, Cockburn, Cairns, and the present Lord Chancellor Hatherley. At the end of each chapter of the Cases and Opinions,' Mr. Forsyth has added notes of his own, containing a most excellent summary of all the law bearing on that branch of his subject to which the 'Opinions' refer... Our space precludes us from dwelling upon the contents of this work at any greater length, but we think we have said enough to show that it is worthy of a place on the book-shelves of our statesmen, and all who take an interest in constitutional, or rather, national and colonial questions."

.

From the LAW MAGAZINE and LAW
REVIEW.

"Mr. Forsyth has largely and beneficially added
to our legal stores. His work may be regarded as in
some sense a continuation of Chalmers's Opinions
of Eminent Lawyers.'
The constitutional
relations between England and her colonies are
becoming every day of more importance. The
work of Mr. Forsyth will do more to make these
relations perfectly clear than any which has yet
appeared. Henceforth it will be the standard work
of reference in a variety of questions which are
constantly presenting themselves for solution both
here and in our colonies.

Questions of colonial law by no means occupy an exclusive share of the volume. Among other questions on which opinions' are given, and of which careful summaries and generalisations have been added by Mr. Forsyth, are those relating to vice-admiralty jurisdiction and piracy; the prerogatives of the Crown in relation to treasure trove, land in the colonies, mines, cession of territory, &c.; the power of courts-martial, extra-territorial jurisdiction, allegiance, the lex loci and the lex fori, extradition, and appeals from the colonies. The volume bers marks of extreme care and regard to accuracy, and is in every respect a valuable contribution to constitutional law."

From the CANADA LAW JOURNAL,

"Mr. Forsyth at the present juncture has done good service not only to his profession, but to all men who take any interest in public affairs, and we therefore hope that those for whom the book is especially intended will not be backward in giving to it that support which the industry and ability of its author, and the public spirit and enterprise of its publishers, so well deserve."

From the LAW TIMES.

"This one volume of 560 pages or thereabouts is a perfect storehouse of law not readily to be found elsewhere, and the more useful because it is not abstract law, but the application of principles to particular cases. Mr. Forsyth's plan is that of classification. He collects in separate chapters a variety of opinions bearing upon separate branches of the law. Thus, the first chapter is devoted to cases on the common law, and the law applicable to the colonies; the second to the ecclesiastical law relating to the colonies; the third to the powers and duties, civil and criminal liabilities, of governors of colonies; the next to vice-admiralty jurisdiction and piracy; the fifth to certain prerogatives of the Crown: such as lands in the colonies, grants, escheats, mines, treasure trove, royal fish, felon's goods, writ ne exeat regno, proclamation, cession of territory, and creation of courts of justice; the sixth chapter contains opinions on martial law and courts-martial; the seventh on extra-territorial jurisdiction; the eighth on the lex loci and lex fori; the ninth on allegiance and aliens; and then successively on extradition; on appeals from the colonies; on the revocation of charters; on the Channel Islands; on the nationality of a ship, and other matters relating to ships; on the power of the Crown to grant exclusive rights of trade; on writs of habeas corpus; on certain points relating to the criminal law; and lastly, on miscellaneous subjects, such as the declaration of war before hostilities; on the right of war, booty and prize, and on the grant of a marriage licence. . . . This is a book to be read, and therefore we recommend it not to all lawyers only, but to every law student. The editor's own notes are not the least valuable portion of the volume."

Comprising the Companies Clauses, the Lands Clauses, the Railways Clauses Consolidation Acts, the Railway Companies Act, 1867, and the Regulation of Railways Act, 1868; with Notes of Cases on all the Sections, brought down to the end of the year 1868; together with an Appendix giving all the other material Acts relating to Railways, and the Standing Orders of the Houses of Lords and Commons; and a copious Index. By HENRY GODEFROI, of Lincoln's Inn, and JOHN SHORTT, of the Middle Temple, Barristers-at-Law. "The title of this book is the best possible explanation of its contents. Here we have all the statutes affecting Railway Companies, with the standing orders of Parliament, in a volume exquisitely printed, and of most convenient size and form. We have also, what in effect to the practitioner is a complete manual of reference of all the decided cases on Railway Law, together with an index of so copious and accurate a nature, as to render the discovery of every section and every authority easy in the highest degree. We find pages of authorities on transfer of shares,'' calls,' forfeiture of shares,' 'sci. fa.,' 'Lloyd's bonds,' contracts by companies,' and 'dividends.' Then

...

comes a mass of matter relating to the voluntary and compulsory acquisition of lands by Railway Companies, while the compensation' cases stretch over some fifty pages. So also under the third statute, there are a dozen pages on the powers and duties of Railway Companies in the construction of their works, while the liability of the Companies as carriers of passengers and goods is also elucidated in the most elaborate style. The 'Rating of Railways' adds several pages of authorities. We believe that we have said enough to show that this book will prove to be of pre-eminent value to practitioners, both before Parliamentary committees and in the Courts of Law and Equity."-Law Journal.

"This book will be of infinite service to lawyers practising in the maritime law courts and to those engaged in shipping. In short, Mr. Jones's book is a complete guide, and is full of information upon all phases of the subject, tersely and clearly written. It will be quite as useful to, as it is as much needed by, the American lawyer as the English, because the salvage laws of America and England are much alike, and Mr. Jones makes constant reference to American authorities. The book is all the more welcome because the subject upon which it treats is but little understood except by a favoured few. Now, however, if interested people remain ignorant it is their own fault. Mr. Jones has treated a very complicated and difficult subject in a simple and concise manner, and his success is commensurate with

"An admirable treatise on an important branch of jurisprudence is compiled by Mr. Edwyn Jones, of Gray's Inn, Barrister-at-Law, who, in a compact volume, gives us a very comprehensive statement of 'The Law of Salvage,' as administered in the High Court of Admiralty and the County Courts; with the principal authorities, English and American, brought down to the present time, and an Appendix containing statutes, forms, tables of fees, &c. Mr. Jones has consulted a wide range of cases, and systematised with much skill and clearness the leading principles deducible from numerous judg ments and precedents, both here and in the United States.
