REVIEWS OF SECOND EDITION.

"The lectures of Mr. Birkbeck probably bear the ordeal of reproduction better than any other lectures on law of which we have any knowledge. He is a more scientific lawyer than Mr. Smith, whose manual has been so largely used by law students, and naturally, therefore, Snell's Equity' must be more useful than Smith's Manual. With respect to this edition, we have only to observe that Mr. Griffith has edited his author's work with great care, and has noted all the cases, whilst preserving the convenient form in which it originally appeared."-Law Times.

"The book has the merit of being written in clear and intelligible language. It is admirably printed, and otherwise carries with it an attractive appearance."-Law Journal.

"Mr. Snell's volume, which we noticed favourably some four years ago on its first appearance, is a manual very well adapted for the use of students, being written and arranged with discrimination and intelligence. We have pleasure in stating our opinion that the work will continue to maintain the position it had already gained."— Solicitors' Fournal.

"It (Snell's book) is less bulky than Story's Commentaries, while it is easier to comprehend; and, from the number of illustrative cases, easier to remember than Adams' Treatise on Equity. And on one point it is superior to both, and, indeed, deserves high commendation. Every one who has read the recent reports of Equity Cases in England, is aware how many important decisions have been made within the last four years on many points of Chancery law. To these decisions, which are wholly wanting in Adams, and very imperfectly given in the recent editions of Story's Commentaries, Mr. Snell has made very full reference; and it is this part of his book which, besides its aid to the student, gives it a real value to the practitioner."-American Law Review.

INTRODUCTION

ΤΟ

THE STUDY OF INTERNATIONAL LAW,

DESIGNED AS AN AID IN TEACHING, AND IN HISTORICAL STUDIES. By THEODORE D. WOOLSEY, late President of Yale College.

Fourth Edition, revised and enlarged.

"The fact that President Woolsey's treatise on International Law has already reached a fourth edition may be taken as evidence of the increasing attention now paid to the subject of which it treats by all who lay claim to a liberal education in, the United States. Certainly the long controversy maintained with this country in regard to the recognition of Confederate belligerency and the depredations of the Alabama and its sister cruisers proves that no people stands more in need of enlightenment on the subject. The first edition of President Woolsey's work appeared in 1860; the second, considerably enlarged, four years later;

and the third, with further valuable additions, in 1871. The fourth edition which now appears likewise contains various additions. The work is intended for students rather than lawyers, the author having undertaken its preparation while lecturing on International Law and History at Yale College. To the original historical sketch of the subject, corrected and enlarged, Dr. Woolsey has added, in the form of a second appendix, a pretty full summary of the various treaties which form the landmarks of international jurisprudence, and in the notes newly introduced he has brought down the discussion to the present time."-Saturday Review.

AN EPITOME AND ANALYSIS OF SAVIGNY'S TREATISE ON OBLIGATIONS IN ROMAN LAW.

By ARCHIBALD BROWN, M.A. Edin. and Oxon. and B.C.L. Oxon., of the Middle Temple, Barrister-at-Law.

"Mr. Archibald Brown deserves the thanks of all interested in the science of law, whether as a study or a practice, for his edition of Herr von Savigny's great work on Obligations.' Mr. Brown has undertaken a double task-the translation of his author, and the analysis of his author's matter. That he has succeeded in reducing the bulk of the original will be seen at a glance; the French translation consisting of two volumes, with some five hundred pages apiece, as compared with Mr. Brown's thin volume of a hundred and

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.

SELF-PREPARATION FOR THE

EXAMINATION.

CONTAINING A COMPLETE COURSE OF STUDY, WITH STATUTES, CASES, AND QUESTIONS;

And intended for the use, during the last four months, of those Articled Clerks who read by themselves. By JOHN INDERMAUR, Solicitor (Clifford's Inn Prizeman, Michaelmas Term, 1872); Author of "Epitomes of Leading Common Law, and Equity and Conveyancing Cases."

AN EPITOME OF LEADING COMMON LAW CASES;

WITH SOME SHORT NOTES THEREON.

Chiefly intended as a Guide to "SMITH'S LEADING CASES." By JOHN INDERmaur, Solicitor (Clifford's Inn Prizeman, Michaelmas Term, 1872).

"This should be placed in the handy-volume series of law books. Its title expresses its objectthat of an Epitome and Guide to Leading Cases. The Cases themselves are stated with admirable brevity and clearness, and the notes turn out to be more full and instructive than their material size would seem to indicate. The type and binding are excellent, and in several respects this is an improvement on the first edition."-American Law Review.

"Mr. John Indermaur published last year an epitome of leading common law cases intended as a guide to, or rather we should say as the essence of

Smith's Leading Cases. At the end of thirteen months from the publication of the little volume the demand has justified a second edition. Last year we suggested that the compiler of the book knew the value of skilful cram' in the law examinations; and the call for a second edition plainly shows that our suspicion was correct. One case has been added, and also references to the original reports of the several cases; otherwise, the book is a mere reprint, and a glance at it with a knowledge of its popularity affords an exact view of the art of examination as used in the 'Final.'"-The Law Journal.

By WALTER ARTHUR COPINGER, of the Middle Temple, Barrister-at-Law.

"A book that is certainly the most complete treatise upon the complex subject of copyright which has ever been published in England."-Athenæum. "A work much needed, and which he has done exceedingly well." American Law Review.

"We make no question that Mr. Copinger's well-devised, well-written, and useful treatise will become a standard work."-Law Journal.

By ALFRED HANSON, Esq., Comptroller of Legacy and Succession Duties.

"It is the only complete book upon a subject of great importance, but which does not come within the regular course of professional study, and therefore requires to be read up when a case having reference to it comes into the solicitor's office.

"Mr. Hanson is peculiarly qualified to be the adviser at such a time. Hence, a volume without a rival."-Law Times.

"Since Mr. Hanson produced his first edition he has been appointed Comptroller of Legacy and Succession Duties. His book is in itself a most useful one; its author knows every in and out of the subject, and has presented the whole in a form easily and readily handled, and with good arrangement and clear exposition.'

THE LAW AND PRACTICE OF INJUNCTIONS.

EMBRACING ALL THE SUBJECTS IN WHICH

COURTS OF EQUITY AND COMMON LAW

HAVE JURISDICTION.

BY WILLIAM JOYCE,

OF LINCOLN'S INN, BARRISTER-AT-LAW.

REVIEWS.

"A work which aims at being so absolutely complete, as that of Mr. Joyce upon a subject which is of almost perpetual recurrence in the Courts, cannot fail to be a welcome offering to the profession; and, doubtless, it will be well received and largely used, for it is as absolutely complete as it aims at being. . . . . This work is, therefore, eminently a work for the practitioner, being full of practical utility in every page, and every sentence, of it..... We have to congratulate the profession on this new acquisition to a digest of the law, and the author on his production of a work of permanent utility and-fame."-Law Magazine and Review.

"Mr. Joyce has produced not a treatise but a complete and compendious exposition of the Law and Practice of Injunctions both in equity and common law.

"Part III. is devoted to the practice of the Courts. Contains an amount of valuable and technical matter nowhere else collected.

"From these remarks it will be sufficiently perceived what elaborate and painstaking industry, as well as legal knowledge and ability, has been necessary in the compilation of Mr. Joyce's work. No labour has been spared to save the practitioner labour, and no research has been omitted which could tend towards the elucidation and exemplification of the general principles of the Law and Practice of Injunctions."-Law Journal.

"He does not attempt to go an inch beyond that for which he has express written authority; he allows the cases to speak, and does not speak for them.

"The work is something more than a treatise on the Law of Injunctions. It gives us the general law on almost every subject to which the process of injunction is applicable. Not only English, but American decisions are cited, the aggregate number being 3,500, and the statutes cited 160, whilst the index is, we think, the most elaborate we have ever seen-occupying nearly 200 pages. The work is probably entirely exhaustive."-Law Times.

"Mr. Joyce's work, within the limits which he has assigned himself, is well done. He has been evidently diligent in the collection of cases, and the points decided are stated with accuracy, and with more fulness of detail than in any work on injunctions with which we are familiar. It cannot fail to be useful in instructing practitioners in the proper employment of this much abused method of procedure.”— American Law Review.

"Mr. Joyce has produced a clear, scientific, and thorough treatise upon the subject of injunctions which, unlike most English works, will be nearly as useful to the American as to the English practitioner. "We doubt if there can be a single case of any note found upon injunctions in the English law that is not cited in these volumes."-Chicago Legal News.

"This work, considered either as to its matter or manner of execution, is no ordinary work. It is a complete and exhaustive treatise both as to the law and the practice of granting injunctions. It must supersede all other works on the subject. The terse statement of the practice will be found of incalculable value. We know of no book as suitable to supply a knowledge of the law of injunctions to our common law friends as Mr. Joyce's exhaustive work. It is alike indispensable to members of the Common Law and Equity Bars. Mr. Joyce's great work would be a casket without a key unless accompanied by a good index. His index is very full and well arranged. We feel that this work is destined to take its place as a standard text-book, and the text-book on the particular subject of which it treats. The author deserves great credit for the very great labour bestowed upon it. The publishers, as usual, have acquitted themselves in a manner deserving of the high reputation they bear."-Canada Law Journal.
