By Wm. Hazlitt and H. P. Roche, Esqrs., Barristers-at-Law. In 12mo., price 10s. 6d. cloth.

"The only legal publication of a substantial nature which the present occasion has brought forth, is 'A Manual of the Law of Maritime Warfare,' by Mr. Hazlitt and Mr. Roche, in which all the doctrines relating to these interesting subjects will be found very fully collected, and illustrated by the principal judicial authorities' decisions of England and America. This work is in use in the principal offices of State, and is supplied also to the British Embassies in foreign countries, as a ready guide for solving the numerous and difficult questions which the long discontinuance of war with European Powers has rendered rather unfamiliar to our diplomatists."-LAW REVIEW, No. 40, August 1, 1854.

"It contains a great deal of very useful information."-LAW MAG., No. 104, Aug. 1, 1854.

"On this subject we cannot do better, for the information of our readers, than to quote some passages from a most carefully executed work by Messrs. Hazlitt and Roche, members of the Bar, on the Law of Maritime Warfare.

"We cannot conclude our observations better than by calling the attention of our readers to the work from which we have extracted the passages above quoted, from which they will derive abundant and accurate information on the law of nations as it affects the intercourse of states at war: first, as between themselves; and secondly, as between them and neutral nations."-JURIST, No. 914, July 15, 1854.

"This Manual should be found in every captain's cabin both in Her Majesty's and the Merchant Service."-PORTSMOUTH GUARDIAN.

"Mr. Bowyer has laboriously won his reputation as a profound Civilian, a critical Canonist, and an industrious investigator of Foreign and European Law. His 'Commentaries on the British Constitution' have been translated or reprinted in every country where our Constitution is an object of study, and are received as the standard work upon this great topic. He has made accurate surveys of law in its separate departments; he now sits down to draw a general map of the whole. The result is a work wonderful in its erudition. The author's industry appears to have spread itself over every province of modern and ancient learning" -MORNING CHRONICLE, April 15, 1854.

"The burgess who desires to understand what are his privileges and duties should make this volume his manual."-LAW TIMES, October 21, 1854.

"We shall only say, in addition, that this' Manual' contains, condensed, so much valuable information, that it ought to be in the hands of every borough officer and burgess in the town."-BRIGHTON EXAMINER, May 23, 1854.

"We advise every person anxious to understand our future local government to buy one of these Burgess' Manuals. It will save him a thousand questions, and as many embarrassments for want of a reply. He who masters this little book will have a great superiority over his fellow-burgesses, and will soon be an authority; but there is no reason why we should not all master it and be all equally well up in our knowledge of municipal government."-BRIGHTON HERALD, May 20, 1854.

When he (Lord Campbell) was upon the Bench, he always had this work by him, and no statutes were ever referred to by the Bar which he could not find in it."'

Malcolm, Esqs., Barristers-at-Law. Fourth Edition, in royal 8vo price £1 16s. cloth.

"Fortunately for the Profession, the new edition has been intrusted to gentlemen, of whom one is well known, not only as a ripe and accomplished lawyer, (doctrinâ malidus,) but as a judicious editor, knowing how to withhold as well as how to apply his hand. Amid the present plague of reports, mere industry is not sufficient to qualify even a second-rate editor.

"It is evident that the editors have not been blinded by their respect for the author, but have altered, corrected, and amended, wherever they have seen occasion. Such a course could not be pursued safely upon a small stock of learning or of judgment; and in our opinion, it has been pursued, not only with safety, but with manifest advantage to the book; so that the fourth edition of Starkie is to the existing law, what the first edition was to the law in 1824.

"We wish we had some means of identifying Mr. Malcolm's portions of the work. As it is, being hitherto unknown in authorship, he must be content with the praise of having borne a part where all was good."-JURIST.

"It is also the only work of which a new edition has been brought out at such a time as to render it possible that it should apply to practice, with any degree of consideration and accuracy, the modern changes in the law.

"We think the editors will have gone far towards restoring the admirable work of Mr. Starkie to its original character of the best work on the Law of Evidence which has yet been produced."-LEGAL OBSERVER.
