BY THE SAME AUTHOR, In two volumes, royal 8vo., 1872, price 70s., cloth, THE LAW AND PRACTICE OF INJUNCTIONS. EMBRACING ALL THE SUBJECTS IN WHICH COURTS OF EQUITY AND COMMON LAW BY WILLIAM JOYCE, 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. "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 injunctious 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. 2 In one volume, royal 8vo., 1869, price 30s., cloth, CASES & OPINIONS ON CONSTITUTIONAL LAW, AND VARIOUS POINTS OF ENGLISH JURISPRUDENCE. Collected and Digested from Official Documents and other Sources; with Notes. By WILLIAM FORSYTH, M.A., M.P., Q.C., Standing Counsel to the Secretary of State in Council of India, Author of " Hortensius," History of Trial by Jury," "Life of Cicero," etc., late Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. From the CONTEMPORARY REVIEW. "We cannot but regard with interest a book which, within moderate compass, presents us with the opinions or responsa of such lawyers and statesmen as Somers, Holt, Hardwicke, Mansfield, and, to come down to our own day, Lyndhurst, Abinger, Denman, Cranworth, Campbell, St. Leonards, Westbury, Chelmsford, Cockburn, Cairns, and the present Lord Chancellor Hatherley. At the end of each chapter of the Cases and Opinions,' Mr. Forsyth has added notes of his own, containing a most excellent summary of all the law bearing on that branch of his subject to which the 'Opinions' refer. Our space precludes us from dwelling upon the contents of this work at any greater length, but we think we have said enough to show that it is worthy of a place on the book-shelves of our statesmen, and all who take an interest in constitutional, or rather, national and colonial questions." From the LAW MAGAZINE and LAW The "Mr. Forsyth has largely and beneficially added to our legal stores. His work may be regarded as in some sense a continuation of 'Chalmers's Opinions of Eminent Lawyers.' The constitutional relations between England and her colonies are becoming every day of more importance. work of Mr. Forsyth will do more to make these relations perfectly clear than any which has yet appeared. Henceforth it will be the standard work of reference in a variety of questions which are constantly presenting themselves for solution both here and in our colonies. Questions of colonial law by no means occupy an exclusive share of the volume. Among other questions on which 'opinions' are given, and of which careful summaries and generalisations have been added by Mr. Forsyth, are those relating to vice-admiralty jurisdiction and piracy; the prerogatives of the Crown in relation to treasure trove, land in the colonies, mines, cession of territory, &c.; the power of courts-martial, extra-territorial jurisdiction, alle ... 66 From the LAW TIMES. "This one volume of 560 pages or thereabouts is a perfect storehouse of law not readily to be found elsewhere, and the more useful because it is not abstract law, but the application of principles to particular cases. Mr. Forsyth's plan is that of classification. He collects in separate chapters a variety of opinions bearing upon separate branches of the law. Thus, the first chapter is devoted to cases on the common law, and the law applicable to the colonies; the second to the ecclesiastical law relating to the colonies; the third to the powers and duties, civil and criminal liabilities, of governors of colonies; the next to vice-admiralty jurisdiction and piracy; the fifth to certain prerogatives of the Crown: such as lands in the colonies, grants, escheats, mines, treasure trove, royal fish, felon's goods, writ ne exeat regno, proclamation, cession of territory, and creation of courts of justice; the sixth chapter contains opinions on martial law and courts-martial; the seventh on extra-territorial jurisdiction; the eighth on the lex loci and lex fori; the ninth on allegiance and aliens; and then successively on extradition; on appeals from the colonies; on the revocation of charters; on the Channel Islands; on the nationality of a ship, and other matters relating to ships; on the power of the Crown to grant exclusive rights of trade; on writs of habeas corpus; on certain points relating to the criminal law; and lastly, on miscellaneous subjects, such as the declaration of war before hostilities; on the right of war, booty and prize, and on the grant of a marriage licence. . . . This is a book to be read, and therefore we recommend it not to all lawyers only, but to every law student. The editor's own notes are not the least valuable portion of the volume."

WITH A FULL COLLECTION OF FORMS AND PRECEDENTS, Fourth Edition, Much enlarged, with many additional Forms, including Precedents of Bills of Costs. By EYRE LLOYD, OF THE INNER TEMPLE, BARRISTER-at-Law. "It is only a few months since we reviewed the last edition of this useful work. Mr. Lloyd has, in the present edition, added the cases which have since been decided, and has given a complete set of forms under the Artisans' and Labourers' Dwellings Improvement Act, 1875. The recent cases appear to have been carefully collected, the only omission we have discovered being Re Milnes (24 W. R. 98), which should have been mentioned under section 69 of the Lands Clauses Act. We may add that the type and general appearance of the volume are admirable."-Solicitors Fournal. "It is with much gratification that we have to express our unhesitating opinion that Mr. Lloyd's treatise will prove thoroughly satisfactory to the profession, and to the public at large. Thoroughly satisfactory it appears to us in every point of view-comprehensive in its scope, exhaustive in its treatment, sound in its exposition."-Irish Law Times. "In providing the legal profession with a book which contains the decisions of the Courts of Law and Equity upon the various statutes relating to the Law of Compensation, Mr. Eyre Lloyd has long since left all competitors in the distance, and his book may now be considered the standard work upon the subject. The plan of Mr. Lloyd's book is generally known, and its lucidity is appreciated; the present quite fulfils all the promises of the preceding editions, and contains in addition to other matter a complete set of forms under the Artizans and Labourers Act, 1875, and specimens of Bills of Costs, which will be found a novel feature, extremely useful to legal practitioners."-JUSTICE OF THE PEACE.

Third Edition, Including the Law under the AGRICULTURAL HOLDINGS ACT, 1875, Incorporating the principal American Decisions, and generally bringing the law down to the present time. By ARCHIBALD BROWN, M.A. Edin. and Oxon, and B.C.L. Oxon, "The decisions given since the second edition of this work was published in the important cases of Ex parte Daglish, in re Wilde, and Ex parte Barclay, in re Joyce, and several other further decisions of the Courts on the Law of Fixtures, have rendered a third edition desirable. The author has taken the opportunity to recast the general form of his treatise. We have already adverted to the recent cases of Ex parte Daglish, in re Wilde, and Ex parte Barclay, in re Joyce. The author treats of them at some length; and the conclusion at which he arrives is very important, and claims the attention of legal draftsmen and solicitors. We have touched on the principal features of this new edition, and we have not space for further remarks on the book itself; but we may observe that the particular circumstances of the cases cited are in all instances sufficiently detailed to make the principle of law clear; and though very many of the principles given are in the very words of the judges, at the same time the author has not spared to deduce his own observations, and the treatise is commendable as well for originality as for laboriousness." -Law Journal.

Comprising the Companies Clauses, the Lands Clauses, the Railways Clauses Consolidation Acts, the Railway Companies Act, 1867, and the Regulation of Railways Act, 1868; with Notes of Cases on all the Sections, brought down to the end of the year 1868; together with an Appendix giving all the other material Acts relating to Railways, and the Standing Orders of the Houses of Lords and Commons; and a copious Index. By HENRY GODEFROI, of Lincoln's Inn, and JOHN SHORTT, of the Middle Temple, Barristers-at-Law. "The title of this book is the best possible explanation of its contents. Here we have all the statutes affecting Railway Companies, with the standing orders of Parliament, in a volume exquisitely printed, and of most convenient size and form. We have also, what in effect to the practitioner is a complete manual of reference of all the decided cases on Railway Law, together with an index of so copious and accurate a nature, as to render the discovery of every section and every authority easy in the highest degree. . . . We find pages of authorities on transfer of shares,'' calls,' forfeiture of shares,' 'sci. fa.,'Lloyd's bonds,' 'contracts by companies,' and 'dividends.' Then comes a mass of matter relating to the voluntary and compulsory acquisition of lands by Railway Companies, while the 'compensation' cases stretch over some fifty pages. So also under the third statute, there are a dozen pages on the powers and duties of Railway Companies in the construction of their works, while the liability of the Companies as carriers of passengers and goods is also elucidated in the most elaborate style. The Rating of Railways' adds several pages of authorities. We believe that we have said enough to show that this book will prove to be of pre-eminent value to practitioners, both before Parliamentary committees and in the Courts of Law and Equity."-Law Journal.

"This book will be of infinite service to lawyers practising in the maritime law courts and to those engaged in shipping. In short, Mr. Jones's book is a complete guide, and is full of information upon all phases of the subject, tersely and clearly written. It will be quite as useful to, as it is as much needed by, the American lawyer as the English, because the salvage laws of America and England are much alike, and Mr. Jones makes constant reference to American authorities. book is all the more welcome because the subject upon which it treats is but little understood except by a favoured few. Now, however, if interested people remain ignorant it is their own fault. Mr. Jones has treated a very complicated and difficult subject in a simple and concise manner, and his success is commensurate with The "An admirable treatise on an important branch of jurisprudence is compiled by Mr. Edwyn Jones, of Gray's Inn, Barrister-at-Law, who, in a compact volume, gives us a very comprehensive statement of 'The Law of Salvage,' as administered in the High Court of Admiralty and the County Courts; with the principal authorities, English and American, brought down to the present time, and an Appendix containing statutes, forms, tables of fees, &c.

By EYRE LLOYD, B.A., OF THE INNER TEMPLE, BARRISTER-AT-LAW. Author of "The Law of Compensation under the Lands Clauses Consolidation Acts," &c. "Mr. Eyre Lloyd compresses into little more than eighty pages a considerable amount of matter both valuable and interesting; and his quotations from Diplomatic Reports by the present Lord Lytton, and other distinguished public servants, throw a picturesque light on a narrative much of which is necessarily dry reading. We can confidently recommend Mr. Eyre Lloyd's new work as one of great practical utility, if, indeed, it be not unique in our language, as a book of reference on Foreign Succession Laws." -Law Magazine and Review. "Mr. Eyre Lloyd has composed a useful and interesting abstract of the laws on the subject of succession to property in Christian countries, with especial reference to the law of primogeniture in England. He points out the error of supposing that there is a general compulsory law of primogeniture in this country. It is only in cases of intestacy that this rule is imposed; and though entails upon the eldest son are to a limited extent permitted, the fact that landed property is sometimes retained in families for many generations is mainly due to the natural desire of Englishmen to perpetuate land in their families. Mr. Lloyd also shows that the compulsory division of property involves all the evils without any of the advantages of a perpetual entail, inasmuch as it has a tendency to keep a constantly diminishing inheritance perpetually in the members of the same family."-Saturday Review. "This is a very useful little handy book on foreign succession laws. It contains in an epitomised form information which would have to be sought for through a great number of scattered authorities and foreign law treatises, and will be found of great value to the lawyer, the writer, and the political student."-Standard.
