"The best test of the value of a book written professedly for practical men is the practical one of the number of editions through which it passes. The fact that this well-known work has now reached its third shows that it is considered by those for whose convenience it was written to fulfill its purpose well."-Law Magazine.

"This is the third edition in ten years, a proof that practitioners have used and approved the precedents collected by Mr. Kouse. In this edition, which is greatly enlarged, he has for the first time introduced Precedents of Wills, extending to no less than 116 pages. We can accord unmingled praise to the conveyancing memoranda showing the practical effect of the various statutory provisions in the different parts of a deed. If the two preceding editions have been so well received, the welcome given to this one by the profession will be heartier still."-Law Times.

"So far as a careful perusal of Mr. Rouse's book enables us to judge of its merits, we think that as a collection of precedents of general utility in cases of common occurrence it will be found satisfactorily to stand the application of the test. The draftsman will find in the Practical Conveyancer precedents appropriate to all instruments of common occurrence, and the collection appears to be especially well supplied with those which relate to copyhold estates. In order to avoid useless repetition and also to make the precedents as simple as possible, Mr. Rouse has sketched out a number of outline drafts so as to present to the reader a sort of bird'seye view of each instrument and show him its form at a glance. Each paragraph in these outline forms refers, by distinguishing letters and numbers, to the clauses in

full required to be inserted in the respective parts of the instrument, and which are given in a subsequent part of the work, and thus every precedent in outline is made of itself an index to the clauses which are necessary to complete the draft. In order still further to simplify the arrangement of the work, the author has adopted a plan (which seems to us fully to answer its purpose) of giving the variations which may occur in any instrument according to the natural order of its different parts.' Law Journal.

"That the work has found favor is proved by the fact of our now having to review a third edition. This method of skeleton precedents appears to us to be attended with important advantages. Space is of course saved, but besides this there is the still more important consideration that the draftsman is materially assisted to a bird's-eye view of his draft. Everyone who has done much conveyancing work knows how thoroughly important, nav, how essential to success, is the formation of a clear idea of the scope and framework of the instrument to be produced. To clerks and other young hands a course of conveyancing under Mr. Rouse's auspices is, we think, calculated to prove very instructive. To the solicitor, especially the country practitioner, who has often to set his clerks to work upon drafts of no particular difficulty to the experienced practitioner, but upon which they the said clerks are not to be quite trusted alone, we think to such gentlemen Mr. Rouse's collection of Precedents is calculated to prove extremely serviceable. repeat, in conclusion, that solicitors, espe, cially those practising in the countrywill find this a useful work."-Solicitors' Journal.

"We find very considerable diligence displayed. The references to the cases are given much more fully, and on a more rational system than is common with textbook writers. He has a good index."Solicitors' Journal.

"The recorder of Bath has rendered good service to the profession, and to the more intelligent section of the general public, by the production of the carefully prepared and practically useful volume now under notice. As a work of reterence, the book will be very welcome in the

office of the solicitor or in the chambers of the barrister."-Morning Advertiser.

"Mr. T. W. Saunders is well known as a large contributor to legal literature, and all his works are distinguished by pains-taking and accuracy, his one is no exception, and the subject, which is of very extensive interest, will ensure for it a cordial welcome from the profession."-Law Times.

As scarcely a day passes in which claims are not made, and actions brought, for compensations for injuries from neglect of some kind, a short and clear treatise like the present on the law relating to the subject ught to be welcomed It is a moderate size volume, and makes references to all the authorities on the question easy.' -Standard.

DIXON'S LAW OF PARTNERSHIP.

By

A TREATISE on the LAW OF PARTNERSHIP. JOSEPH DIXON, of Lincoln's Inn, Esq., Barrister at Law, Editor of "Lush's Common Law Practice."

"He has evidently bestowed upon this book the same conscientious labour and painstaking industry for which we had to compliment him some months since when reviewing his edition of Lush's Practice of the Superior Courts of Law,' and, as a result, he has produced a clearly written and wellarranged manual upon one of the most im portant branches of our mercantile law." Law Journal.

"Mr. Dixon has done his work well. The book is carefully and usefully prepared."-Solicitors' Journal.

"weheartily recommend to practitioners and students Mr. Dixon's treatise as the

POWELL'S LAW OF INLAND CARRIERS.-Second Edition.

THE LAW OF INLAND CARRIERS, especially as regulated by the Railway and Canal Traffic Act, 1854. By EDMUND POWELL, Esq., of Lincoln College, Oxon, M.A., and of the Western Circuit, Barrister at Law. Author of "Principles and Practice of the Law of Evidence." Second Edition, almost re-written. 8vo. 14s. cloth. "The treatise before us states the law of which it treats ably and clearly, and contains a good index."-Solicitors' Journal.

Mr. Powell's writing is singularly precise and condensed, without being at all dry, as those who have read his admirable Book of Evidence will attest. It will be seen, from our outline of the contents, how exhaustively the subject has been treated, and that it is entitled to be that which it aspires to become, the text book on the law of Car

riers."-Law Times.

"The subject of this treatise is not indeed a large one, but it has been got up by Mr. Powell with considerable care, and contains ample notice of the most recent cases and authorities."-Jurist.

"The two chapters on the Railway and Canal Traffic Act, 1856, are quite new, and the recent cases under the provisions of that statute are analyzed in lucid language."-Law Magazine.

WOOLRYCH ON SEWERS.—Third Edition.

A TREATISE on the LAW OF SEWERS, including the Drainage Acts. By HUMPHRY W. WOOLRYCH, Serjeant at Law. Third Edition, with considerable Additions and Alterations. 8vo. 12s. cloth.

"Two editions of it have been speedily exhausted, and a third called for. The author is an accepted authority on all subjects of this class."-Law Times.

This is a third and greatly enlarged edition of a book which has already ob tained an established reputation as the most complete discussion of the subject adapted to modern times. Since the treatise of Mr. Serjeant Callis in the early part of the 17th century, no work filling the same place has

been added to the literature of the profession. It is a work of no slight labour to digest and arrange this mass of legislation -this task, however, Mr. Serjeant Woolrych has undertaken, and an examination of his book will, we think, convince the most exacting that he has fully succeeded. No one should attempt to meddle with the Law of Sewers without its help."-Solicitors' Journal.

piece of terse and forcible expression: ambiguity there is none, prolixity none, from the beginning to the end we do not know that we should wish one sentence or one word expunged, and we have never had to pause to discover the meaning of our authors. If the saying, that clear speaking is the result of clear thinking be at all worthy of reception, we should say that the present work is the result of much honest labour and profound learning."-Journal of Jurispru dence of Scotland.

"This is a valuable book, and one that ought to be in the hands of every magistrate in India. As the basis of all our modern law and justice, we com. mend this Modern Roman Law to our readers."-Friend of India.

PARKINSON'S COMMON LAW CHAMBER PRACTICE.
A HANDY BOOK FOR THE COMMON LAW JUDGES'
CHAMBERS. By GEO. H. PARKINSON, Chamber Clerk to the
Hon. Mr. Justice Byles. 12mo. 7s. cloth.

"For this task Mr.Parkiuson is eminently qualified."-Jurist.

"It is extremely well calculated for the purpose for which it is intended. So much work is now done in Common Law Chambers by junior clerks that such a little treatise is much wanted. Mr. Parkinson has performed his task skilfully and with care."-Solicitors' Journal.

"The practice in Chambers has become sufficiently important to call for a treatise devoted to it, nor could a more competent man for the task have presented himself

than Mr. Parkinson, whose great experience as well as intelligence have long placed him in the position of an authority on all matters appertaining to this peculiar but very extensive branch of Common Law Practice."-Law Times.

There is much that would prove very useful to the practitioner in Mr. Parkinson's compilation, and which, so far as we are aware, is not to be found in any other book collected with equal conciseness."-Law Magazine and Review.
