Fry's Specific Performance of Contracts.

8vo., 16s. cloth.

A TREATISE on the SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE of CONTRACTS, including those of Public Companies, with a Preliminary Chapter on the Provisions of the Chancery Amendment Act, 1858. By EDWARD FRY, B.A., of Lincoln's Inn, Esq., Barrister-at-Law.

"It will be seen what a masterly grasp the author has taken of his subject, and his treatment of the various parts of it equally exhibits the hand of a man who has studied the law as a science. He is skilful in the extraction of principles, precise in the exposition of them, apt in their application to the particular case, but in all he is thoroughly practical. The practitioner who uses it as a text-book will find in it an adviser who will tell him not only what the law is, but how it may be enforced."-Law Times.

"Mr. Fry's work presents in a reasonable compass a large quantity of modern learning on the subject of contracts, with reference to the common remedy by specific performance, and will thus be acceptable to the profession generally."-Law Chronicle.

"There is a closeness and clearness in its style, and a latent fulness in the exposition, which not only argue a knowledge of the law, but of those varying circumstances in human society to which the law has to be applied."-Spectator.

"Mr. Fry's elaborate essay appears to exhaust the subject, on which he has cited and brought to bear with great diligence some 1,500 cases, which include those of the latest reports."-Law Magazine and Review.

"Although a professional work, it is sufficiently popular in style to be serviceable to all persons engaged in commercial or joint stock undertakings."-The Times, July 20th, 1858.

"The law of specific performance is a growing law just now, and the characteristic which gives it special value to Mr. Fry's work is, that the recent cases are as well digested in his mind as the older ones. Mr. Fry's is one of the best specimens of the modern law book."-The Economist.

"Mr. Fry's treatise is succinct and comprehensive, evidencing patient study, and containing sound practical deductions supported by principle and authority.”—Leguleian.

Grant's Law of Bankers and Banking.

Post 8vo., 18s., cloth.

The LAW of BANKING; BANKER and CUSTOMER; BANKER and CORRESPONDENT; PRIVATE BANKS; BANKING CO-PARTNERSHIPS and JOINT STOCK BANKS, COLONIAL BANKS, SAVINGS BANKS: comprising the Rights and Liabilities, and the Remedies of and against Directors, Managers, Clerks, Shareholders, &c.: the Rules as to Cheques, Orders, Bills payable at Bankers, Accountable Receipts, Bank Notes, Deposits of Securities, Guarantees, &c. By JAMES GRANT, M.A., of the Middle Temple, Esq., Barrister-atLaw, Author of "The Law of Corporations in General.”

"This is a well-designed and well-executed work."-Legal Observer.

"The learning and industry which were so conspicuous in Mr. Grant's former work are equally apparent in this. The book supplies a real want, which has long been felt both by the profession and by the public at large.”—Jurist.

"No man in the profession was more competent to treat the subject of Banking than Mr. Grant. This volume appears opportunely. To all engaged in the litigations, as well as to all legal advisers, of Bankers Mr. Grant's work will be an invaluable assistant. It is a clear and careful treatise on a subject not already exhausted, and it must become the text-book upon it.”— Law Times.

"The object of the author has been to give an entirely practical exposition of the law as it stands according to statutory enactment, and as it has been developed, ascertained and explained by judicial decisions."-Times.

"This is a very able work, the appearance of which is especially to be welcomed at the present time."-Examiner.
