Bund's Law of Salmon Fisheries. Post 8vo., 15s. cloth. The LAW relating to the SALMON FISHERIES of ENGLAND and WALES, as amended by the Salmon Fishery Act, 1873, with the Statutes and Cases. By J. W. WILLIS-BUND, M.A., LL.B., of Lincoln's Inn, Esquire, Barrister at Law, Vice Chairman Severn Fishery Board. "Doubtless all the law will be found between his covers, and we have not been able to detect any erroneous statements. We can recommend the book as a disquisition,-it is conscientiously executed."-Law Times. "Mr. Bund, whose name is so well known to all who take interest in our Salmon fisheries, has lost no time since the passing of the Act of 1873 in bringing out his work on salmon fishery law. That the book, so far as England and Wales are concerned, is a very complete and exhaustive one, no one who knows Mr. Bud's clearness and power of application will doubt. There is so much repealing, and interpolating and altering, that the process of disinterment of the law to an unskilled hand becomes desperately bewildering; but with Mr. Bund's work at his elbow, the inquirer will find it tolerably easy work, for Mr. Bund has with great skill and labour done all the most troublesome work for him, and each point of law is marked out so that there can be no dificulty in understanding it, for not only are the points unravelled and discussed, but the cases which have come before the superior courts upon the various points are distinctly set forth, and the decision upon each made plain. Mr. Bund has done the work excellently well, and nothing further in this way can be desired.”—The Field. "This terse and useful summary gives not merely the Salmon Fishery Act of 1873, but the state of the law as left repealed and unaffected by that act, with statutes and cases arising from them. The whole subject is treated exhaustively, and in a manner most satisfactory."-Standard. "There is happily a good and ample index at the end of the volume. By means of this we have tested the author on various difficult points, and we have always found his opinion sound, and his explanations clear and lucid. This volume must of necessity become a hand-book to salmon-fishers in general, and especially to boards of conservators, who will thereby be much assisted in the formation of the new boards of conservators, under the Act of 1873; also the operation of the Acts of 1861 and 1865, as amended by the Act of 1873."— Land and Water. "What he has done he has done fairly, and he has produced a work which will, we think, be found instructive to the beginner and a useful handy book for the practitioner in the local courts."-Public Opinion. "We trust it will meet with the notice which the nature of the subject and the ability of the author deserve."--Echo. Davis's Equity, Bankruptcy, &c. in the County Courts. 8vo. 18s. cloth. The JURISDICTION and PRACTICE of the COUNTY COURTS in EQUITY, ADMIRALTY, PROBATE and ADMINISTRATION CASES, and in BANKRUPTCY. By J. E. DAVIS, of the Middle Temple, Esq., Barrister-at-Law. This work, although issued separately, forms a Supplementary or Second Volume to the Fourth Edition of Davis's County Courts Practice and Evidence in Actions. "This is the companion volume of Mr. Davis's Practice and Evidence in Actions in the County Couris, which, we are told, had a rapid sale. There is one conspicuous merit about all that Mr. Davis does-it is plain, straightforward and practical. Perhaps the most prominent feature of the work is the extensive introduction of sections of acts, rules and forms. No doubt this volume will have as great a success as its predecessor: it deserves as much."-Law Times. "The excellent method of the author has not forsaken him, and the mass of heterogeneous topics which he has been compelled to deal with falls into very good practical order. The County Court judges will no doubt make this book their trusty companion."-Solicitors' Jounal. "We think Mr. Davis will achieve as great a success with the second as he undoubtedly has with the first volume of his work on the County Courts."-Law Journal. Underhill's Mines Drainage Act, 1873. Post 8vo., 5s. cloth. A POPULAR SUMMARY of the SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE MINES DRAINAGE ACT, 1873, and of the Acts incorporated therewith, with Forms and an Appendix containing the Act itself. By ARTHUR UNDERHILL, B.A., F.G.S., of Lincoln's Inn, Barrister at Law. Underhill's Law of Torts or Wrongs. Post 8vo., 6s. cloth. A SUMMARY OF THE LAW OF TORTS OR WRONGS INDEPENDENT OF CONTRACT, for the use of Students and Practitioners. By ARTHUR UNDERHILL, B.A., of Lincoln's Inn, Esq., Barrister at Law. "Mr. Underhill states that his chief aim has been to write for the student, but many who have passed their pupilage and are now enjoying the advantages of considerable practice, may consult these pages with advantage. Mr. Underhill places before his readers broad principles or rules of law. which he illustrates by cases falling under them, so that they are placed before the mind in a manner most impressive. Exceptions are not omitted, and the rules are, when necessary, elucidated by sub-rules. The plan is a good one, and has been honestly carried out, and a good index facilitates reference."-Justice of the Peace. Mr. Underhill's ability in making a clear digest of the subject treated of in this volume is conspicuous. Many works would have to be consulted for the information here concisely given, so that practitioners as well as students will find it useful."-News of the World. Mr. Underhill, in his work, gives us an example of how clearly and concisely so difficult and intricate a branch of Law as that of Torts can be set out. He has compressed into a small work a vast amount of information, and his book is so clearly written that it is easily comprehensible. To the Law Student, for whom it is more particularly written, it may be recommended both for its simplicity and accuracy."-Morning Advertiser. We strongly recommend the manual to students of both branches of the profession."-Preliminary Examination Journal. "A work which will, we think, be found instructive to the beginner, and a useful handybook for the practitioner in Local Courts."— Public Opinion. "He has set forth the elements of the law with clearness and accuracy. The little work of Mr. Underhill is inexpensive, and may be generally relied on."-Law Times. "A handybook of the law affecting wrongs independent of contract."-The Echo, Mr. Underhill has here supplied a want long felt in legal treatises, and has entirely, by the present excellent volume, superseded the antiquated work of Mr. Addison, which was totally unfit for practical purposes."-Standard, "This is a very useful little book on the law of Torts. The book is intended for the student who desires to have principles before entering into particulars, and we know no book on the subject so well adapted for the purpose."-Law Ezamination Reporter. Sir T. Erskine May's Parliamentary Practice.-7th Edit. One very thick volume 8vo. 40s. cloth. A TREATISE on the LAW, PRIVILEGES, PROCEEDINGS and USAGE of PARLIAMENT. By Sir THOMAS ERSKINE MAY, K.C.B., Clerk of the House of Commons; Bencher of the Middle Temple. Seventh Edition, Revised and Enlarged. CONTENTS:-Book I. Constitution, Powers and Privileges of Parliament.-Book II. Practice and Proceedings in Parliament.-Book II. The Manner of Passing Private Bills, with the Standing Orders in both Houses, and the most recent Precedents. "A work, which has risen from the position of a text book into that of an authority, would seem to a considerable extent to have passed out of the range of criticism. It is quite unnecessary to point out the excellent arrangement, accuracy and completeness which long ago rendered Sir T. E. May's treatise the standard work on the law of Parliament. Not only are points of Parliamentary law discussed or decided since the publication of the last edition duly noticed in their places, but the matter thus added is well digested, tersely presented and carefully interwoven with the text."— Solicitors' Journal. "Fifty pages of new matter have been added by Sir Thomas May in his seventh edition, thus comprising every alteration in the law and practice of Parliament, and all material precedents relating to public and private business since the publication of the sixth edition. We need make no comment upon the value of the work. It is an accepted authority and is undeniably the law of Parliament. It has been brought up to the latest date, and should be in the hands of every one engaged in Parlia mentary life, whether as a lawyer or as a senator."-Law Times. Kelly's Conveyancing Draftsman. Post 8vo., 6s. cloth. THE DRAFTSMAN: containing a Collection of Concise Precedents and Forms in Conveyancing; with Introductory Observations and Practical Notes. By JAMES HENRY Kelly. "This is a thoroughly practical book, designed for the solicitor and the student. Mr. Kelly has rightly conceived the duties of a conveyancer; and his short introductory recommendations should be attentively considered by all who are anxious to become safe draftsmen. The author gives a few forms under each heading, confining himself to such as are likely to be of everyday use in the office. This volume ought to be popular, as it combines law and practice."-Law Times. Mr. Kelly's object is to give a few precedents of each of those instruments which are most commonly required in a solicitor's office, and for which precedents are not always to be met with in the ordinary books on conveyancing. The idea is a good one, and the precedents contained in the book are, generally speaking, of the character It contains matter not found in the more ambitious works on conveyancing, and we venture to think that the student will find it a useful supplement to his reading on the subject of conveyancing."-Law Examination Journal, LAW EXAMINATION JOURNAL AND LAW STUDENT'S MAGAZINE.

Second Edition, much enlarged, and bringing the Statutes and Cases down to the date of publication. By DAVID PITCAIRN, M.A, Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford, and of Lincoln's Inn, Barrister-atLaw; and FRANCIS LAW LATHAM, B.A., Oxon, of the Inner Temple, Barrister-at-Law, author of " A Treatise on the Law of Window Lights.' "We may at once state that, in our opinion, the merits of the work are very great, and we confidently expect that it will be at least for the present the standard manual of joint stock company law. That great learning and research have been expended by Mr. Pitcairn no one can doubt who reads only a few pages of the book; the result of each case which has any bearing upon the subject under discussion is very lucidly and accurately stated. We heartily congratulate him on the appearance of this work, for which we anticipate a great success. There is hardly any portion of the law at the present day so important as that which relates to joint stock companies, and that this work will be the standard authority on the subject we have not the shadow of a doubt."-Law Journal. After a careful examination of this work we are bound to say that we know of no other which surpasses it in two all-important attributes of a law book: first, a clear conception on the part of the author of what he intends to do and how he intends to treat his subject; and secondly, a consistent, laborious and intelligent adherence to his proposed order and method. All decisions are noted and epitomised in their proper places, the practice-decisions in the notes to Acts and Rules, and the remainder in the introductory account or digest. In the digest Mr. Pitcairn goes into everything with original research, and nothing seems to escape him. It is enough for us that Mr. Pitcairn's performance is able and exhaustive. Nothing is omitted, and everything is noted at the proper p'ace. In conclusion we have great pleasure in recommending this edition to the practitioner. Whoever pos sesses it, and keeps it noted up, will be armed on all parts and points of the law of joint stock companies."-Solicitors' Journal. Although nominally a second edition of Mr. Shelford s treatise, it is in reality an original work, the form and arrangement adopted by Mr. Shelford have been changed and, we think, improved by Mr. Pitcairn. A full and accurate index also adds to the value of the work, the merits of which, we can have no doubt, will be fully recognized by the profession."-Law Magazine. This book has always been the vade mecum on company law, and will, apparently, long continue to occupy that position. It is perhaps even more useful to the legal practitioner than to the man of business, but still it is the best source of information to which the latter can go."-Finencier and Money Market Review, Nasmith's Institutes of English Public Law. Post 8vo., 12s. cloth. THE INSTITUTES of ENGLISH PUBLIC LAW, embracing an Outline of General Jurisprudence, the Development of the British Constitution, Public International Law, and the Public Municipal Law of England. By DAVID NASMITH, Esq., LL.B., of the Middle Temple, Barrister at Law, Author of "The Chronometrical Chart of the History of England," &c. ; Joint Translator of Ortolan's "History of Roman Law.' "We believe the plan of the book is the right one, that, in dealing clearly with general jurisprudence, constitutional law, and the relation which this sovereign state bears to other sovereign states, before going to municipal law, he has taken the best course for the student of law, and that therefore in this important respect his plan is superior to that pursued in the Institutes of Justinian, or by Blackstone and his followers. We have only to add that we know of no book which, in our opinion, might more fitly, or perhaps so fitly, be placed in the hands of a beginner in the study of law."-Law Magazine. "Mr. Nasmith has, we think, produced a very useful compendium of the leading divisions of the law, and has with care and industry collected the pith of the best writers under each head. We think we are right in saying that Mr. Nasmith's is the best and most useful of the little books which have recently ap peared as professed outlines of English law." Justice of the Peace. "Mr. Nasmith's book is likely to attract the attention it deserves. It is the careful compilation of an accomplished scholar, and of a perfect master of his work. He is original as well as scholarly, and displays all the learning of Heidelburg with the versatility peculiar to a Celtic nativity."-Morning Post. "The object of this book, as fully stated in the preface, is to explain the relative positions of the individual and the state in the English system of jurisprudence. It is not an account of the whole body of the law, but only of that portion of it which regulates the duties of state functionaries and bodies, and the duties of citizens to the state The analysis is carefully executed, both in arrangement and in detail, and there is a tabular analysis exhibiting in a very clear manner the branching out of the different topics, which must be highly useful to students."-Economist. Fawcett's Law of Landlord and Tenant. 8vo., 14s. cloth. • A COMPENDIUM of the LAW of LANDLORD and TENANT. By WILLIAM MITCHELL FAWCETT, of Lincoln's Inn, Esq., Barrister-at-Law. "This new compendium of the law on a wide and complicated subject, upon which information is constantly required by a vast number of persons, it sure to be in request. It never wanders from the point, and being intended not for students of the law, but for lessors and lessees and their immediate advisers, wisely avoids historical disquisitions, and uses language as untechnical as the subject admits. It may safely be assumed to contain information on all the ordinary questions which either contracting party may require to be answered."-Law Journal. The author has succeeded in compressing the whole of his subject within the reasonable compass of 373 pages. It may roughly be said of Mr. Fawcett's work, that it is statutory throughout, in accordance with the predominant character of the law at the present day; and Mr. Fawcett takes advantage of this characteristic of modern law to impart to his compendium a degree of authenticity which greatly enhances its value as a convenient medium of reference, for he has stated the law in the very words of the authorities. We have discovered plain utility to be the aim and end of Mr. Fawcett's treatise, and an ambitious merit to be that of Mr. Smith and Mr. Soden's. Probably we should be justified in saying that Mr. Fawcett has more nearly reached his aim, lower as it is, than Mr. Smith and Mr. Soden."-Law Magazine. "The amount of information compressed into the book is very large. The plan of the book is extremely good, and the arrangement adopted has enabled the author to put together in one place the whole law ou any particular branch of the subject, and to avoid repetitions. Thus not only is it easy to find what the author has to say on any particular point, but when we have found a reference to it in one place, we may be satisfied that we have found all the book contains upon the point. In this respect, though probably from its smaller size it must contain less information than Woodfall, it will be found far more convenient for ordinary use than that treatise. We find far more repetitions in Mr. Cave's than in Mr. Fawcett's work, and more cases in wh ch the whole law on any point has to be looked for, not in one place but in several; in this respect, therefore, Mr. Fawcett's book has an advantage. We may add that Mr. Fawcett's references are usually given to two sets of reports, while Mr. Cave's are to one only."-Solicitors' Journal. "Woodfall was, and perhaps is, the great authority on this subject. But his book is bulky, much of it is obsolete, and much useless, and the legislature and the judges have made many changes which sufficiently justify Mr. Fawcett in his undertaking of a new treatise on a subject of such wide-spread interest. His aim, however, is condensation. He contents himself with a plain statement of the existing law, pru dently omitting all matters of merely historical interest and topics collateral to the special subjects; he has deemed it unnecessary to treat of the details of judicial procedure or to enact a mass of precedents of leases which are already pos essed by the profession in other works. Above all, it has been his purpose to state the law in the language of the authorities, presenting the principles enunciated in the very words of the judges. Another excellent feature is a concise summary of the effect of each enactment in the marginal notes. It will be seen from this that the book is thoroughly practical, and, as such, will doubtless find a favorable reception from the profession."-Law Times.
