Powell's Law of Inland Carriers.--2nd Edit. 8vo., 14s. cloth. A TREATISE on the LAW of INLAND CARRIERS. By EDMUND POWELL, Esq., of Lincoln College, Oxford, M.A., and of the Inner Temple and Western Circuit, Barrister-at-Law, Author of "A Treatise on the Principles of Evidence." Second Edition. This edition has been revised carefully, and substantially rewritten; with two chapters on the Railway and Canal Traffic Act, 1854. "Mr. Powell's writing is singularly precise and condensed, without being at all dry, as those who have read his admirable Book of Evidence will attest. It will be seen from our outline of the contents how exhaustively the subject has been treated and that it is entitled to be that which it aspires to become, the, text-book on the law of Carriers."-Law Times. "The subject of this treatise is not indeed a large one, but it has been got up by Mr. Powell with considerable care, and contains ample notice of the most recent cases and authorities."Jurist. "The treatise before us states the law of which it treats ably and clearly, and contains a good index."-Solicitors' Journal. "The two chapters on the Railway and Canal Traffic Act, 1856, are quite new, and the recent cases under the provisions of that statute are analyzed in lucid language."-Law Mag. Pulling's Mercantile Accounts. 12mo., 9s. bds. PULLING'S PRACTICAL COMPENDIUM of the LAW and USAGE of MERCANTILE ACCOUNTS: describing the various Rules of Law affecting them, the ordinary Mode in which they are entered in Account Books, and the various Forms of Proceeding, and Rules of Pleading, and Evidence for their Investigation, at Common Law, in Equity, Bankruptcy and Insolvency, or by Arbitration. With a SUPPLEMENT, containing the Law of Joint Stock Companies' Accounts, and the Legal Regulations for their Adjustment under the Winding-up Acts of 1848 and 1849.

The PRACTICE of the HIGH COURT of ADMIRALTY of ENGLAND; with Forms and Bills of Costs. By HENRY CHARLES COOTE, F.S.A., one of the Examiners of the High Court of Admiralty, Author of "The Practice of the Court of Probate," "The Practice of the Ecclesiastical Courts," &c. &c. "Mr. Coote is already very generally known to the Profession by his valuable books on the New Practice of the Court of Probate and the Practice of the Ecclesiastical Courts, which we have had occasion to notice. The work before us is characterized by lucid arrangement of the subject-matter, as well as by a constant appreciation of what suits the convenience of practitioners. The merest tyro in this department of the law need hardly be afraid to undertake the ordinary business of the Court with such a book to guide him.”—Solicitors' Journal and Reporter. "Mr. Coote has the great advantage of experience; he has been long a practitioner in the Court as a Proctor; he is consequently familiar with those minutiæ of practice which mark the distinction between the student and the practical man.”—Law Times. "Mr. Coote has, in a volume of convenient size, furnished the practitioner in the Admiralty Court with an invaluable manual. It is not merely that Mr. Coote's volume is the only existing book of practice that it is to be recommended, but that it is a very excellent and complete production."—Law Chronicle. "Mr. Coote has done his work well by doing it carefully and unaffectedly. He has kept himself most sensibly to the letter of his promise, and by compressing into a reasonable space such information as the profession stood in need of, has succeeded in furnishing a work which has only to be perused to be appreciated and approved of.”—Shipping and Mercantile Gazette. "Now for the Laws of England (if I shall speak my opinion of them without "partiality either to my profession or country), for the matter and nature of them, I hold them wise, just and moderate laws: they give to God, they give to "Casar, they give to the subject what appertaineth. It is true they are as mixt "as our language, compounded of British, Saxon, Danish, Norman customs. "And surely as our language is thereby so much the richer, so our laws are like"wise by that mixture the more complete."-LORD BACON. LONDON: 7, FLEET STREET, E. C.

BUTTERWORTH. STEPHEN'S COMMENTARIES.-Fifth Edition. NEW COMMENTARIES ON THE LAWS OF ENGLAND, partly founded on Blackstone. By HENRY JOHN STEPHEN, Serjeant-at-Law. The Fifth Edition, prepared for the press, with the co-operation of the learned Author, by JAMES STEPHEN, LL D., of the Middle Temple, Barrister-at-Law, Recorder of Poole, and Professor of English Law at King's College, London. From the Solicitors' Journal. "It was with some curiosity we took up this new edition, to see how far it had kept pace with the progress of legislation and decision. We find every reason to be satisfied with the result, and are, we must confess, surprised at the amount of time and toil which must have been devoted by the learned editor to making these Commentaries on English Law as perfect as possible. The student need no longer fear lest in reading a chapter or section of this work he should be in arrear of the actual state of the law. Indeed, any one who has mastered it will have no mean knowledge of English jurisprudence. He will have learned most of the principles governing each branch of the law and will only have to widen and expand the knowledge he has acquired. The alterations and additions rendered necessary in the first and second volumes by the numerous statutes passed respecting real and personal property must have entailed great labour on the editor, and the result is a work which may be confidently referred to as a clear and correct synopsis of property law. The remaining volumes bear equal evidence of learning and research, but would require a novice to themselves; however, we hope we have sufficiently shown that Mr. Stephen deserves the thanks of the public and the profession, and we congratulate him on the completion of his arduous task." From the Law Times. "We are not surprised that every second or third year should produce a new edition of Stephen's Commentaries, for it is the foundation of a solicitor's education. It is, or ought to be, the first book undertaken by the law student, whatever branch of the profession he proposes to adopt. The only satisfactory plan in dealing with the original Blackstone is that followed by Mr. Serjeant Stephen, who omits whatever is no longer law, interpolating the substituted law, but always indicating by brackets what is his own and what is Blackstone's. The editor who now keeps the work noted up pari passu with the still fast changing laws is the son of the Serjeant himself, a lawyer of large knowledge and honoured with the judicial dignity of Recorder of Poole. Of course no recommendation of this work is needed now; it has an established name and fame, and it is enough to state that a new edition of it has been issued to secure an eager demand for it." From the Law Magazine and Law Review. "The fifth edition of this great work brings down its information to the present time. Mr. James Stephen is the able editor of the volumes which have permanently associated the name of his father with the history of English law, and we doubt not that many future editions will continue to spread through the empire that knowledge of the principles of our jurisprudence and our constitution which are so blended in the pages of these Commentaries with a mass of practical information on all the various branches of the law."
