Ry., says in a letter to the author dated June 9th, 1890: "I have examined it sufficiently to enable me to state that, without disparagement to others, your work is much more methodical, comprehensive, and exhaustive than any that had before appeared.

Helm, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Colorado, says: "It is well arranged and the topics are conveniently classified. It seems to be more exhaustive than any other text-book upon the subject.

I take pleasure in commending the work to the favorable consideration of the profession." DENVER, June 16, 1890.-J. E. COBBEY.- Dear Sir: I have examined your work on the Law of Replevin just published, and find that it treats the various questions that arise under this branch of the law much more fully and satisfactorily than any other wok that has come under my observation. The method of treatment is, however, so concise and the matter so well arranged as to make the work of great utility to the busy lawyer in the preparation and trial of cases, and to the lawyer who has not the time nor the opportunity to examine all the adjudicated cases for himself it is a necessity containing as it does not only a reference to but the gist of the latest decisions. Yours truly, A. J. RISING, Judge District Court. School, New York, says: "Your aim has been to give your Hon. Theodore Dwight, Dean of Columbia College Law treatise a practical character. In this respect it will prove to be highly valuable to the practitioner. Your arrangement is very ingenious and useful, directing attention to the points to be considered by a busy man in a most natural and convenient manner. The book shows a wide examination of authorities, and their results are, as far as I have had oppor tunity to examine them, accurately stated. The action of replevin is so important in our time and at the same time is so beneficent that every extensive addition to the working plant of a lawyer must be heartily welcomed. Your indus trious collection and careful collation of authorities is of itself worth more than the price of the book, while your comments are highly suggestive and valuable." Hon. J. A. Cavanagh, of Cavanagh, Atwell & Thomes, Omaha, Neb., says: "It is without doubt the best work putlished on that subject. The Nebraska bar has reason to con gratulate itself of having the author of such a work in its midst." D. S. Pipes, Topeka, Kansas:-Your book is a good one and you should feel proud of it. Hon. M. L. Hayward, Nebraska City, Neb.:-It is a first-class work. Hon. C. C. Cole, late Chief Justice of Iowa, says. "I have examined your work 'Law of Replevin,' and I congratulate you upon its excellence. The subject is treated in a natural and orderly manner, and appears, upon the examination I have been able to give it, to be a very exhaustive treatise upon the subject. Your style is very direct and perspicuous, and Hon. John L. Townley, St. Paul, Minn.:-I have again had the arrangement of the work aided by the bold faced type, occasion to examine your work, and find it very complete entitling the sections, will enable the busy practitioner to and bravely written. I say bravely written because on dis direct his attention at once to the question under considera-puted points you have not only given the authorities on both tion. The table of contents is indeed an analytical digest of sides but candidly expressed your opinion upon the subjet. the work, and will afford great facility in the investigation I observe with pleasure your dedication. any matter treated by you.
