no one can look at a page of the edition now before us without seeing evidence of the immense labour bestowed upon it, nor can a page be perused without the reader being satisfied of the capacity and thoughtfulness of the editor. The institutional writer who has held his ground best against all comers has been worthily reproduced; and equally the student and the advanced lawyer will find himself in great security, trusting that by referring to this edition he will be placed thoroughly abreast of the present state of legislation and decision."-Journal of Jurisprudence.

B. Daily Mail.

"Mr McLaren must trust to any character that we may have gained for honesty and independence in the expression of our views for the authority of the verdict which we very willingly pronounce in his favour.
