L ORD CHANCELLOR BACON's READING upon the STATUTE of USES, which forms the Ground work of Modern Conveyancing. A new Edition, with very full Notes and Explanations. ' By WILLIAM HENRY ROWE, Esq. of Lincoln's Inn. A certain ' Critical Review' flippanzty asserts, that " the above edition of Bacon on Uses, in cenesquence of the very few correc- • tons it contain, is altogether unneeessary," although there abso hitely are alterationtin it by which:even the meaning of the text of all the other editions hath been entirely changed, scarcely less in number than the paggaof the work.itSelf ; and consequently it is moat palpable that those alteratiops, whether judicious or not, (upon which it is ndt for the Editor to give any opinion), muse necessarily render the present edition something very different from being merely " unnecessary !!" But, in order to vindicate the edition in question, and at the same time to lay bare either tlle blindness on the one hand, or the malignity on the other, of , the self-dubbed competent and impartial Critic above alluded to, it will be quite sufficient to give an extract or two from all the other Reviews by which the Work has been taken notice re— Reviews which do not attempt to impose upon the public either a gross misrepresentation of facts, or a pretended Review of Books which have not been read. " The peculiar merit and excellence of the present edition, says the Law Journal, are so apparent as to be immediately discenser- , able--Fhe first thing' remarkable, and, we worerin this edition, is the great number of emends F the £4l. ~ i alti ik tsr bath made in the text ; some of them to totally dim ent sense from all other editions, others to explain material die. • Unctions and nuny to elucidate that which in the former text aa , wholly unintelligible.—" As there. are few who would now read Coke's First Institutes without the late valuable Contmen tary, so we trust there will be no Student who is - tempted, as doubtless all will be, by the great name of Bacon, to study his Reading on Uses, who will not be thankful to Mr. Rowe for the assistance he has afforded."—Law Journal for 1805, p. 106, 116, 121.
