THE END.

BRADBURY, AGNEW, & CO., PRINTERS, WHITEFRIARS,

Recently published, in One thick Volume, price 42s., THE LAW OF SLANDER AND LIBEL, Including the PLEADING, PRACTICE, and EVIDENCE, CIVIL and CRIMINAL, with Precedents: also MALICIOUS PROSECUTIONS, CONTEMPTS of COURT, &c. THIRD EDITION of the late Mr. Starkie's Treatise, by H. C. FOLKARD, Esq., Barristerat-Law.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

LAW MAGAZINE AND LAW REVIEW.

"No one will fail to see that there were ample reasons for a new Edition of this valuable work, and upon reference to this Edition it will be found that Mr. FOLKARD has performed his task carefully and well. It bears traces of the most conscientious and industrious examination of the cases, especially upon that most important part of the subject the law of privileged publication.

"The subject of this Treatise is one of the highest and most general interest; it is of social as well as political interest; it comes home to men's daily life, more perhaps than any other branch of the law, and its scope is so wide as to embrace the familiar intercourse of friends as well as the formal debates of Parliament; the conversations of the clubs as well as the arguments of journalists, or the declamations of orators. Such a work may well have its place in the library of the private gentleman, not less than in the library of the lawyer, and its illustrative cases are more interesting to the general reader than those of any other legal subject. It is well that such a Treatise should have been re-edited, and it is well that it should have been edited by so careful and painstaking a man as Mr. FOLKARD.'

'MR. FOLKARD would have been amply justified in producing this work in his own name without the superscription of STARKIE. There are whole chapters of novel matter, and more than two-thirds of the entire work is from the pen of Mr. FOLKARD. The Law of Slander and Libel is in itself a history of the expansion of the liberties of England. There can be traced in the very pages before us a gradual and steady leading up to the plenary liberty that prevails in our own day. Thirty-nine years have added enormously to the

STARKIE'S LAW OF SLANDER AND LIBEL, BY FOLKARD.

(Opinions of the Press continued).

mass of the Law of Defamation. Mr. FOLKARD says that the Law of Libel has supplied in that period twice as many cases as were contained in STARKIE'S volumes, while the Statutes passed have affected largely both the Law and the Procedure. The pleadings and the evidence in actions of defamation are elaborately treated, together with "Costs," "Proceedings after Verdict," &c. The Criminal division will probably be thought a most valuable portion of the book. A Treatise on Criminal Proceedings for Libels of Public Mischief was really wanted. With the present volume before them, the law officers of the Crown, and lawyers generally, will be saved an infinite amount of labour in search for precedents. ... The real merit of the author of such a work as this, must consist in careful collation and systematic arrangement of decided cases. No one can say that Mr. FOLKARD has failed in the full discharge of this onerous duty, and we are sure that he will earn, as he will obtain, the gratitude of the profession.'

LAW TIMES.

'THIS Edition is one of much greater value than either of the two which preceded it, because the various branches of the Law have been extended so as to meet the peculiarities of the present day, and the exigencies which necessarily attend freedom of speech. We recommend Mr. FOLKARD'S work to the attention of the profession and the public. It is, as now edited, very valuable.'

JUSTICE OF THE PEACE.

[ocr errors]

THE Criminal remedy by Indictment and Criminal Information, as well as the Civil remedy, is fully treated of; indeed, it would be diffi cult to find any part of his subject which Mr. FOLKARD has not fully investigated, and the result is a valuable addition to the lawyer's library, which for many years has been much needed.'

SOLICITORS' JOURNAL.

THE present Edition deserves very high praise. It has been most laboriously executed. The profession may, we think, be pretty confident that whatever has been decided upon the Law of Libel will be found here.'

Through the kindness of Messrs. Anderson, Bateman, Hawksley, Homersham, Baldwin Latham, Lawson, Milne, Quick, Rawlinson, Simpson, and others, several works, constructed and in course of construction, from the designs of these gentlemen, will be fully illustrated and described.
