PUBLISHED BY STEVENS AND HAYNES, Law Publishers, BELL YARD, TEMPLE BAR, Just published, in 8vo., Second Edition, price 21s., cloth, A TREATISE ON THE LAW OF DAMAGES. Comprising their Measure, the Mode in which they are Assessed and Reviewed, the Practice of Granting New Trials, and the Law of Set-off. By JOHN D. MAYNE, of the Inner Temple, Esq., Barrister-at-Law. Second Edition, by LUMLEY SMITH, of the Inner Temple, Esq., Barrister-at-Law. "Few modern text-books have a higher authority than Mayne on Damages. An argument is seldom heard in the courts upon a question of the measure of damages without the work being referred to; and there are several points upon which there was, at the date of the first edition (1856), either an absence or a conflict of authority, and upon which the views advanced by the author have since been held to be law by the courts. . It is fortunate for the reputation of the work that so good an editor has been found for it as Mr. Lumley Smith. The additions to the text of the former edition are distinguished by brackets. Mr. Lumley Smith's work has been well done, and the new cases are skilfully incorporated. Probably there is no other one subject upon which the cases reported as well as unreported so frequently present the same difficulty of extracting from complicated statements of fact, special in their character and not likely to occur again, the legal principles involved in the decision, so as to be available for guidance in other cases. It is exactly this difficulty which makes the subject one upon which a good text-book such as the present is peculiarly valuable."-Solicitors' Journal. "We are glad that this useful work fell into the hands of so capable an editor as Mr. Lumley Smith. It is always a great advantage gained when an editor has had practical experience of the subject with which he deals, and it is a positive gain to the law when busy lawyers can find time to do well the work which is so apt to fall into the hands of those who have little learning and less practice. The law relating to damages is a branch of our jurisprudence peculiarly practical in its nature and highly important to suitors and the profession; it is, moreover, surrounded by difficulties which require a clear explanation before they become intelligible to the ordinary mind. "The concluding chapter (c. 19) is very important, and we should like to make copious extracts from it. It deals with the 'powers of the court or judge in regard to damages.' We recommend it to the attention of our readers, as indeed we do the entire work, which is excellently executed, with an entire freedom from verbosity, and a good index."-Law Times. "In the year 1856 Mr. John D. Mayne, a gentle. man of the bar, now enjoying a very extensive practice in the Indian Empire, published a treatise on the Law of Damages. Mr. Mayne conferred a great boon on the profession by his labours, and for sixteen years his book has been regarded with high respect in Westminster Hall. In the ordinary course of things such a lapse of time, from the natural accretion of precedents, would have created a demand for a new edition, but in the particular department of law investigated by Mr. Mayne there has been an extraordinary development of principles, exhibited in numerous cases, upon which the judges have expended a large amount of time, industry, and learning. Consequently, the publication of a new edition is not premature. On the contrary, it was high time that the profession should be supplied with a treatise condensing and arranging the matter brought into existence by the contested cases of that period. It is perfectly intelligible that Mr. Mayne's absence from England and the toil of his professional career have prevented him from undertaking this duty himself. But the performance of it has fallen on a deputy, whose success in the discharge thereof might fairly have been anticipated, and who in the result has, we think, not disappointed the reasonable expectations formed concerning him. "Mr. Lumley Smith has evidently been actuated by a modest desire not to despoil the original author of well-earned fame. He has, as far as possible, retained the primary form of the book, and has distinguished what Mr. Mayne wrote from what he himself has written, by enclosing all the later matter in brackets, adding a brief separate chapter on the assessment of damages in the Court of Chancery under Lord Cairns's Act, 21 & 22 Vict. c. 27. He has also cited many Scotch and Irish cases, and the leading American decisions of recent date. "One word with regard to the book itself will not be out of place. It is well printed, in an excellent form, and of a convenient size-no small considerations in a text-book, which, from the nature of its contents, is useful rather for reference than for study. Good looks in a book set off its intrinsic merits, just as an imposing appearance adds to the dignity and influence of a judge."-Law Journal. 2 STEVENS & HAYNES, BELL YARD, TEMPLE BAR. Books for Students. In 8vo., price 18s., cloth, THE PRINCIPLES OF EQUITY. Intended for the Use of Students and the Profession. By EDMUND H. T. SNELL, of the Middle Temple, Barrister-at-Law. Second Edition by J. R. GRIFFITH, of Lincoln's Inn, Barrister-at-Law. In one vol., 8vo., 1872. This Work has become a Standard Class-book in England, Ireland, India, and the Colonies. "The lectures of Mr. Birkbeck probably bear the ordeal of reproduction better than any other lectures on law of which we have any knowledge. He is a more scientific lawyer than Mr. Smith, whose manual has been so largely used by law students, and naturally, therefore, 'Snell's Equity' must be more useful than Smith's Manual. With respect to this edition, we have only to observe that Mr. Griffith has edited his author's work with great care, and has noted all the cases, whilst preserving the convenient form in which it originally appeared."-Law Times. "The book has the merit of being written in clear and intelligible language. It is admirably printed, and otherwise carries with it an attractive appearance."-Law Journal. "Mr. Snell's volume, which we noticed favourably some four years ago on its first appearance, is a manual very well adapted for the use of students, being written and arranged with discrimination and intelligence. We have pleasure in stating our opinion that the work will continue to maintain the position it had already gained.”— Solicitors' Journal. "It (Snell's book) is less bulky than Story's Commentaries, while it is easier to comprehend; and, from the number of illustrative cases, easier to remember than Adams' Treatise on Equity. And on one point it is superior to both, and, indeed, deserves high commendation. Every one who has read the recent reports of Equity Cases in England, is aware how many important decisions have been made within the last four years on many points of Chancery law. To these decisions, which are wholly wanting in Adams, and very imperfectly given in the recent editions of Story's Commentaries, Mr. Snell has made very full reference; and it is this part of his book which, besides its aid to the student, gives it a real value to the practitioner."-American Law Review.

By ARCHIBALD BROWN, M.A. Edin. and Oxon. and B.C.L. Oxon., of the Middle Temple, Barrister-at-Law. "Great industry has been spent in reconciling the numerous decisions on a very difficult branch of law, and even in illustrating it by references to American cases. . In one respect Mr. Brown seems admirably adapted to the task of writing on the law of fixtures. He is strongly convinced of the influence of history upon law. In his opening sentence he tells us that it has been said of history that it finds its entablature in law; it may con versely be said of law that it finds its explanation in history.' The sentence is a good opening upon a subject which owes so much of its law to arbitrary rules rather than general principles as fixtures. Mr. Brown proceeds to trace the effect of history on his subject in a passage which is very à propos :— Mr. Brown's seventh and last chapter will be found to contain a most serviceable enumeration of the recent cases, arranged according as the conflict was between landlord and tenant, mortgagor and mortgagee, and so on."- Law Journal. In one volume, 8vo., price 18s., cloth lettered, THE LAW OF COPYRIGHT, In Works of Literature and Art; including that of the Drama, Music, Engraving, Sculpture, Painting, Photography, and Ornamental and Useful Designs; together with International and Foreign Copyright, with the Statutes relating thereto, and References to the English and American Decisions. By WALTER ARTHUR COPINGER, of the Middle Temple, Barrister-at-Law. "A book that is certainly the most complete treatise upon the complex subject of copyright which has ever been published in England."-Athenæum. "A work much needed, and which he has done exceedingly well."-American Law Review. "We make no question that Mr. Copinger's well-devised, well-written, and useful treatise will become a standard work."-Law Journal. "The book is a thoroughly good one: there is scarcely a decision of any importance left un noticed, and the law in its bearings is fairly and judiciously treated."-The Bookseller. In conclusion we refer our readers to this capital book on Copyright. The reader will find in it citations on the latest cases bearing on the subject, chapters on International Copyright, and the best and newest opinions on the subject so very important to authors and to publishers.".

By ALFRED HANSON, Esq., Comptroller of Legacy and Succession Duties. "It is the only complete book upon a subject of great importance, but which does not come within the regular course of professional study, and therefore requires to be read up when a case having reference to it comes into the solicitor's office. “Mr. Hanson is peculiarly qualified to be the adviser at such a time. Hence, a volume without a rival."-Law Times. "Since Mr. Hanson produced his first edition he has been appointed Comptroller of Legacy and Succession Duties. His book is in itself a most useful one; its author knows every in and out of the subject, and has presented the whole in a form easily and readily handled, and with good arrangement and clear exposition."-Solicitors' Journal.

In two volumes, royal 8vo., price 70s., cloth, THE LAW AND PRACTICE OF INJUNCTIONS. Embracing all the subjects in which Courts of Equity and Common Law have jurisdiction. By WILLIAM JOYCE, of Lincoln's Inn, Esq., Barrister-at-Law. "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 per ceived 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. "Mr. Joyce's work, within the limits which he has assigned himself, is well done. He has been evidently diligent in the collection of cases, and the points decided are stated with accuracy, and with more fullness of detail than in any work on injunctions with which we are familiar. It cannot fail to be useful in instructing practitioners in the proper employment of this much abused method of procedure.”— American Law Review. "Mr. Joyce has produced a clear, scientific, and thorough treatise upon the subject of injunctions which, unlike most English works, will be nearly as useful to the American as to the English practitioner. "We doubt if there can be a single case of any note found upon injunctions in the English law that is not cited in these volumes."-Chicago Legal News. "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 injunctions 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, In 8vo., price 7s. 6d., cloth, THE HISTORY OF THE LAW OF TENURES OF LAND IN ENGLAND AND IRELAND. By W. F. FINLASON, Esq., of the Middle Temple, Barrister-at-Law. "Mr. W. F. Finlason has done good service in publishing a concise, well-written history of the law of tenures of land in England and Ireland, with particular reference to inheritable tenancy, leasehold tenure, tenancy at will, and tenant right. Confining himself to the facts of legal history, he has collected and presented, in an admirably compact form, all the really useful information it contains."-Observer.

"Mr. Forsyth at the present juncture has done good service not only to his profession, but to all men who take any interest in public affairs, and we therefore hope that those for whom the book is especially intended will not be backward in giving to it that support which the industry and ability of its author, and the public spirit and enterprise of its publishers, so well deserve."-Canada Law Journal. Collected and Digested from Official Documents and other Sources; with Notes. By WILLIAM FORSYTH, M.A., 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. "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."-The Contemporary Review. "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. The 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 Questions of colonial law by no means occupy an exclusive share of the volume. here and in our colonies. 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 allegiance, the lex loci and the lex fori, extradition, and appeals from the colonies. The volume bears marks of extreme care and regard to accuracy, and is in every respect a valuable contribution to constitutional law."-Law Magazine and Law Review. "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."-Law Times.
