42 STEVENS & HAYNES, BELL YARD, TEMPLE BAR. This day is published, in 8vo., 1876, price 8s., cloth, THE TRADE MARKS REGISTRATION ACT, 1875, And the Rules thereunder; THE MERCHANDISE MARKS ACT, 1862, with an Introduction containing a SUMMARY OF THE LAW OF TRADE MARKS, together with practical Notes and Instructions, and a copious INDEX. EDWARD MORTON DANIEL, of Lincoln's Inn, Barrister-at-Law. By "The last of the works on this subject, that by Mr. Daniel, appears to have been very carefully done. It commences with an outline of the general law of trade marks, in which the distinctions between the privileges of letters patent, copyright, and the protection afforded by trade marks are neatly indicated. It then proceeds to treat of the practice under the new Act, and this is the really valuable part of the book. The author has evidently taken pains to make himself acquainted with the various points which have arisen since the registry was opened at the commencement of the year, and his directions to readers are clear and precise. Mr. Daniel's book is a satisfactory and useful guide."-The Engineer. "This treatise contains, within moderate compass, the whole of the law, as far as practically required, on the subject of trade marks. The introduction, which is concise and clearly written, gives, in four short chapters, the general principles of the law, the remedies for infringement of trade marks, the new legislation, and practical directions as to registration under the new Act, the last chapter being especially valuable. The second part of the work consists of the Act itself, with short notes, followed by some forms in addition to those contained in the schedules to the Act. Then follows the Merchandise Marks Act 1872, treated in a similar manner. A copious and well-compiled index completes the work. The publication is opportune, the subject being one which must nearly concern a considerable portion of the public, and it may be recommended to all who desire to take advantage of the protection afforded by registration under the new legislation. It is practical, and seems to be complete in every respect. The volume is well printed and neatly got up."-Law Times. THE ABOLITION OF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. EMBRACING MORE PARTICULARLY AN ENUNCIATION AND ANALYSIS OF THE PRINCIPLES OF LAW AS APPLICABLE TO CRIMINALS OF THE HIGHEST DEGREE OF GUILT. BY WALTER ARTHUR COPINGER, OF THE MIDDLE TEMPLE, ESQ., BARRISTER-AT-LAW; Author of "The Law of Copyright in Works of Literature and Art," "Index to Precedents in Conveyancing,' "On the Custody and Production of Title Deeds." "We can recommend Mr. Copinger's book as containing the fullest collection we have seen of facts and quotations from eminent jurists, statistics, and general information bearing on the subject of capital punishment."-Manchester Courier.

STEVENS & HAYNES, BELL YARD, TEMPLE BAR. In 8vo., 1875, price 215., cloth, 43 A TREATISE ON THE LAW AND PRACTICE RELATING TO INFANTS. BY ARCHIBALD H. SIMPSON, M.A., Of Lincoln's Inn, Esq., Barrister-at-Law, and Fellow of Christ's College, Cambridge. If Mr. "Such a book was decidedly wanted. Simpson had not before him an entirely new and unexplored field for his work, he is at least to be congratulated upon having discovered an arena in which he might expend a large amount of useful and profitable labour. "Mr. Simpson's book comprises the whole of the law relating to infants, both as regards their persons and their property, and we have not observed any very important omissions. The author has evidently expended much trouble and care upon his work, and has brought together, in a concise and convenient form, the law upon the subject down to the present time."-Solicitors' Journal. "Its law is unimpeachable. We have detected no errors, and whilst the work might have been done more scientifically, it is, beyond all question, a compendium of sound legal principles."-Law Times. "Mr. Simpson divides his subject into four parts. In the first he discusses the Capacities and Incapacities of Infants; in the second, the Relation of Parent and Child; in the third, that of Guardian and Ward; while the fourth part is devoted to the Peculiarities of Procedure caused by the Presence of an Infant as a Party. Under these divisions Mr. Simpson has arranged the whole of the Law relating to Infants with much fulness of detail, and yet in comparatively little space. The result is due mainly to the businesslike condensation of his style. The effect of legal decisions and of legislative enactments is stated without superfluous comment or unnecessary speculation, and Mr. Simpson has economised his space by avoiding the common practice of reprinting large masses of text from the Statutes and Law Reports. Fulness, however, has by no means been sacrificed to brevity, and, so far as we have been able to test it, the work omits on point of any importance, from the earliest cases to the last. In the essential qualities of clearness, completeness, and orderly arrangement it leaves nothing to be desired. "Lawyers in doubt on any point of law or practice will find the information they require, if it can be found at all, in Mr. Simpson's book, and a writer of whom this can be said may congratulate himself on having achieved a considerable success." -Law Magazine, February, 1876. In 8vo., 1875, price 6s., cloth, THE LAW CONCERNING THE REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS AND DEATHS IN ENGLAND AND WALES, AND AT SEA. Being the whole Statute Law upon the subject; together with a list of Registration Fees and Charges, EDITED, WITH Copious Explanatory Notes and References, and an BY ARTHUR JOHN FLAXMAN, OF THE MIddle templE, BARRISTER-AT-LAW. "Mr. Flaxman's unpretentious but admirable little book makes the duties of all parties under the Act abundantly clear. Lawyers will find the book not only handy, but also instructive and suggestive. To registrars, and all persons engaged in the execution of the law, the book will be invaluable. The index occupies thirty-five pages, and is so full that information on a minute point can be obtained without trouble. It is an index that must have cost the author much thought and time. The statements of what is to be done, who may do it, and what must not be done, are so clear that it is well nigh impossible for any one who consults the book to err. Those who use 'Flaxman's Regis "Mr. Arthur John Flaxman, barrister-at-law, of the Middle Temple, has published a small work on The Law Concerning the Registration of Births and Deaths in England and Wales, and at Sea.' Mr. Flaxman has pursued the only possible plan, giving the statutes and references to cases. The remarkable feature is the index, which fills no less than 45 out of a total of 112 pages. The index alone would be extremely useful, and is worth the money asked for the work."-Law Times. 44 STEVENS & HAYNES, BELL YARD, TEMPLE BAR. In preparation, and to be published immediately new Rules are issued, CORNER'S CROWN PRACTICE: Being the Practice of the Crown Side of the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice; with an Appendix of Rules, Forms, Scale of Costs and Allowances, &c. SECOND EDITION. By FREDERICK H. SHORT, of the Crown Office, and R. L. LOVELAND, Of the Inner Temple, Barrister-at-Law, Editor of “Kelyng's Crown Cases,” and "Hall's Essay on the Rights of the Crown in the Sea Shore."

OF LINCOLN'S INN, BARRISTER-AT-LAW. "Mr. Griffith's useful little book has reached a third edition, and, as will be seen from the title, now includes the Amending Act. Both Acts are well understood and clearly interpreted by Mr. Griffith."-Solicitors' Journal. "Mr. Griffith, the editor of the present work (and he is also the editor of that excellent treatise, Snell's Principles of Equity') has, by his introduction and notes, given to the lawyer every necessary assistance in the interpretation of these statutes, which, from their somewhat revolutionary character, require to be carefully studied in order that their relation to the principles of the status of married women at Common Law and in Equity may be appreciated. All the cases decided under these Acts have been quoted and considered; while in the introduction there is a concise statement of the liability of the wife's separate estate to her general engagements.

Oxon, of the Middle Temple, Barrister-at-Law. fifty pages. At the same time the pith of Von Savigny's matter seems to be very successfully preserved, nothing which might be useful to the English reader being apparently omitted. The new edition of Savigny will, we hope, be extensively read and referred to by English lawyers. If it is not, it will not be the fault of the translator and epitomiser. Far less will it be the fault of Savigny himself, whose clear definitions and accurate tests are of great use to the legal practitioner." -Law Journal. CONVENTIONS UPON THE SUBJECT EXISTING BETWEEN ENGLAND AND FOREIGN NATIONS, AND THE CASES DECIDED THEREON. BY EDWARD CLARKE, OF LINCOLN'S INN, BARRISTER-AT-LAW, AND LATE TANCRED STudent. "Mr. Clarke's accurate and sensible book is the best authority to which the English reader can turn upon the subject of Extradition."-Saturday Review. "The opinion we expressed of the merits of this work when it first appeared has been fully justified by the reputation it has gained. This new edition, embodying and explaining the recent legislation on extradition, is likely to sustain that reputation. . There are other points we had marked for comment, but we must content ourselves with heartily commending this new edition to the attention of the profession. It is seldom we come across a book possessing so much interest to the general reader and at the same time furnishing so useful a guide to the lawyer."-Solicitors' Journal. "The appearance of a second edition of this treatise does not surprise us. It is a useful book, well arranged and well written. A student who wants to learn the principles and practice of the law of extradition will be greatly helped by Mr. Clarke. Lawyers who have extradition business will find this volume an excellent book of reference. Magistrates who have to administer the extradition law will be greatly assisted by a careful perusal of Clarke upon Extradition.' This may be called a warm commendation, but those who have read the book will not say it is unmerited. We have so often to expose the false pretenders to legal authorship that it is a pleasure to meet with a volume that is the useful and unpretending result of honest work. Besides the Appendix, which contains the extradition conventions of this country since 1843, we have eight chapters. The first is 'Upon the Duty of Extradition; the second on the 'Early Treaties and Cases;' the others on the law in the United States, Canada, England, and France, and the practice in those countries."—Law Journal. "One of the most interesting and valuable contributions to legal literature which it has been our province to notice for a long time, is 'Clarke's Treatise on the Law of Extradition.' Mr. Clarke's work comprises chapters upon the Duty of Extradition; Early Treaties and Cases; History of the Law in the United States, in Canada, in England, in France, &c., with an Appendix containing the Conventions existing between England and Foreign Nations, and the Cases decided thereon.. The work is ably prepared throughout, and should form a part of the library of every lawyer interested in great Constitutional or International Questions."-Albany Law Journal. THE TIMES of September 7, 1874, in a long article upon "Extradition Treaties," makes considerable use of this work, and writes of it as "Mr. Clarke's useful Work on Extradition." 46 STEVENS & HAYNES, BELL YARD, TEMPLE BAR. PRACTICE OF CONVEYANCING. In One Volume, 8vo., 1875, price 145., cloth, Title Deeds: THEIR CUSTODY, INSPECTION, AND PRODUCTION, At Law, in Equity and in Matters of Conveyancing, INCLUDING COVENANTS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF DEEDS AND With an Appendix of Precedents, the Vendor and Purchaser Act, 1874, BY WALTER ARTHUR COPINGER, OF THE MIDdle temple, BARRISTER-AT-LAW ; Author of "The Law of Copyright" and "Index to Precedents in Conveyancing." "There is no subject on which a practical knowledge is more required than that of title deeds; and this volume supplies a want. Mr. Copinger has, in his well-written chapters, entered most fully and thoroughly into the special subject matter of his work, and has accordingly produced a book worthy of being used by every careful conveyancer who knows the importance of studying all questions of title."-THE LAW. "In dealing with 'documentary evidence at law and in equity and in matters of conveyancing, including covenants for the production of deeds and attested copies,' Mr. Copinger has shown discrimination, for it is a branch of the general subject of evidence which is very susceptible of independent treatment. We are glad, therefore, to be able to approve both of the design and the manner in which it has been executed. "The work opens with a chapter on the custody of title deeds (1) generally, (2) between trustees and cestuis que trust, (3) between mortgagee and mortgagor, and (4) miscellaneous. Chapters II. and III. treat of the production of title deeds at law and in equity. In Chapter IV. the author considers the custody and production of title deeds on a sale, (1) as relates more particularly to the vendor, and (2) as relates more particularly to the purchaser. Chapter V. treats of the non-production of title deeds Chapter VI. of the purchaser's right to the title deeds; Chapter VII. of attested copies; whilst Chapter VIII., which will prove very useful to conveyancers, deals with covenants for the production of deeds. There is an elaborate appendix containing precedents. "The literary execution of the work is good enough to invite quotation, but the volume is not large, and we content ourselves with recommending it to the profession.”— Law Times. "A really good treatise on this subject must be essential to the lawyer; and this is what we have here. Mr. Copinger has supplied a much-felt want by the compilation of this volume. We have not space to go into the details of the book; it appears well arranged, clearly written, and fully elaborated. With these few remarks we recommend this volume to our readers. It may be remarked that there is an appendix added, showing the nature of the evidence required in verification of abstracts, a list of the searches and inquiries which should be made on a purchase, and concluding with a selection of precedents of covenants for production of deeds."-Law Journal.
