REVIEWS.

"Our modern reform is real, and it is certainly beneficent, and depending as it does much upon the decisions of the judges, it is no small advantage that it is so ably explained by such authors and editors as Mr. Griffith and Mr. Loveland."-The Law Times.

"Much care and industry have been shown in the collection of the cases and the arrangement of the book, and the facilities given by the mode of printing enable the reader to find his way readily to any part of the Acts or Rules he may wish to consult."-Solicitors' Journal.

rank of an Excursus on a branch of Law."-Law Magazine and Review.

"If continued popularity should not await this most practical and exhaustive exposition of the working of the Supreme Court of Judicature Acts and Orders, we can only say that it will not be because the editors have not fulfilled their aim, in rendering it a sure and useful guide to the new procedure."-Irish Law Times.

"The authors deserve the gratitude and appreciation of those who consult this work, for (as we have often observed) references to cited cases to all the authorities is of the utmost consequence to those gentlemen in the legal profession whose libraries are of limited extent. This work is highly commendable . . . ."-Law Journal.

"Mr. W. Downes Griffith appears to have met with the success which we confidently anticipated for his book when it first came out. His system of annotation remains fuller than that of most of his contemporaries, and rises not unfrequently to the "Of the many editions of the Judicature Acts which have appeared, there is certainly none which can be fairly compared with it. The original portion of the work-the editorial notes-is admirably done. It appears to embody, as stated in the title page, all the reported cases to Michaelmas sittings 1877,' and these cases are fully and clearly digested; but in addition to the work of citation, the editors have supplied a large amount of valuable annotation on the old rules of pleading, practice, and procedure, as affected by the new. We may refer as examples to the Notes on Pleading, p. 254; Demurrer, p. 288; Discovery and Inspection, p. 306; and Change of Parties, p. 417. A cursory glance at these notes will satisfy any lawyer as to the value of the work. The Time-table, which contains in double column a list of the various proceedings in an action, and a statement of the time limited in respect of each, is sure to be appreciated by the practitioner. The Index, which extends over 164 pages, is full and complete."New Zealand Jurist.

BY SEWARD

BRICE, LL.D.,

OF THE INNER TEMPLE, BARRISTER-AT-LAW.

"To the vast number of people who in various ways are interested in the working of the Act, Mr. Brice's volume cannot fail to be welcome. It is well conceived and carefully executed."-THE TIMES.

"This excellent compilation of the law relating to a subject of very great interest and importance. it is well arranged; the practitioner will find all the material ready to his hand, Mr. Brice having spared no pains in describing the procedure as elucidated by the decisions of the Privy Council. In Mr. Brice's work the ecclesiastical practitioner and the church authorities will be provided with a reliable guide to Church Law under the Act of 1874."-Law Times.

Dr. Brice's book upon the law relating to public worship has been, as may be supposed, specially framed for the use of clergymen, churchwardens and others, interested in the regulation of our Church services. Here there is condensed in one volume all the material for the guidance and control of public worship, and both ecclesiastics and laymen can, by aid of the index, find out at a glance the exact state of the law as interpreted by the highest authorities upon any given point; and churchwardens and others can ascertain the exact steps which should be followed by those who desire to put a stop to breaches of the law. The work deserves, and will no doubt have, a very extensive sale."-Standard.

"To law students the very clear exposition of the various statutes relating to rites and sacraments, ceremonials, vestments, ornamentation, ecclesias tical remedies and punishments, the jurisdiction of the ordinary, &c., will be of the greatest value, as well for the methodical arrangement which characterises it, as for the erudition displayed in the comments, and the clearness and lucility of the style in which they are couched. Several authoritative enactments relating to public worship, and the various editions of the articles, are given in

extenso; and the numerous cases incidentally alluded to throughout the volume are alphabetically arranged and tabulated.”—Morning Post.

"Dr. Brice's large and learned work is a very complete manual for its purpose.”—Guardian.

"Dr. Bruce's book contains a great mass ef information on ecclesiastical matters, which must at all times be valuable for reference."-THE RECORD.

"We can confidently recommend the treatise to all those who are concerned in the subject. To students it will be useful as a compendium of ecclesiastical law. To lawyers it will be a handy book of reference. To clergymen and parishioners it will be a valuable guide, and may perhaps prevent some useless litigation. An index of twenty-two pages, and a table of upwards of 300 cases, testify to the labour bestowed upon this treatise; but it is not a ↑ mere compilation, and only an author who has thoroughly mastered the subject could have written the book."-Law Journal.

"The purpose of Mr. Seward Brice's treatise on │ The Law Relating to Public Worship' is, as stated in the preface, to give a full exposition of the Law of Public Worship, in so far as it concerns the external forms and cultus enforced or merely per missible by the rules of the Church of England,' special prominence being assigned to the subjects of ornaments, ceremonial, and vestments. The work is very carefully and thoroughly done, and includes not only a clear account both of the substantive law and of the means of enforcing it, but the text of the pertinent statutes and of other documents bearing upon the matters discussed."-Daily News.
