contains a vast deal of originality in its arrangement, and will
prove a great help to all who cultivate an intimate knowledge

Booksellers. Price 14s.

" Much as the tabular form of this work, as a new and per-
spicuous arrangement of the subject, deserves credit, we
think the observations and notes by no means inferior in
merit. The author has cornprerscd into a compact form,
without any injudicious or injurious brevity, the whole body of
criminal law, carefully digesting all the leading and ruling
eases. As a book of easy and prompt reference, it will be
found highly useful for Magistrates or professional men en-
gaged in the dispensing of criminal justice."—Justice of
the Peace.

" There are already so many able works on Criminal Law
we were disposed to examine narrowly into the claims of a new
work to the attention of the profession. Our perusal has en-
abled us to form an opinion, that the author has ably and care.
fully executed his task. We may safely predict that his hock
will be found a very useful companion in a Criminal Court."—
Jurist.

" An ingenious synopsis of tho criminal law.--quite a multude

case. Copious indices of CASef, and statutes, complete this use-

SODA WATER.

ROVGIISEDGE and SUMMERS have hitherto relied on
the discernment of the public to discover and appreciate
the superior quality of the Arated Water produced by
their manufactory, and they hare scorned to have re-
course to any tricks. In the present day some persons
consider it requisite to make use of puffs and quackery
in order to extend the sale of their own ptoductiOns by
detracting from the -merits of rival establishments. 13.
and S. have such strong grounds of reliance on the snpe-
riority of their own soda-water and lemonade, founded
on the recommendation of the most eminent of the
factilty, on the results of the most searching chemical
analyses, and the extensive and still increasing demand
for them by the public, both at home and abroad,
that they have hitherto treated the insinuations
of quackery alluded to with the contempt they
deserve. Butt if these indirect insinuations are
still to be obtruded on the public, B. and
.S. feel
themselves justified in offering those explanations that
may enable the public to judge for themselves. If R. and
S. have placed the name of Schweppe upon their bottles,
it was never to mislead the public as to connexion with.
that firm, but-for the purpose of announcing a legitimate
fact, and always subordinate to their own. Without im-
puting undue credit to the name of Schweppe, they have
simply stated that they came from the house ofSehweppe
and CO.,—an undoubted fact, or doubtless it would hare
been denied. For five and twenty years, during the very
period that the Araters sold by Schweppe gave to that
name all the celebrity it ever obtained, Mr. Summers
was the engineer and manufacturer of the waters sold
by that house in London, Derby, and Bristol. It •is
many years since any person, haring the slightest
connexion with the name or family- of the late Mr.
Schweppe, has been connected with any house in the
trade. In the year 1834, the. proprietor of the busi-
ness carried on under the name of Schweppe and Co.
sold his interest to persons with whom R.. and S:
declined to remain : they preferred employing their in-
dustry and practical knowledge in establishing a business
for their own mutual profit. Whether. the waters since
manufactured by the present firm of Sohweppe and Co.
retain the quality which acquired for that house all its
celebrity, R. and S. decline to give an opinion ; but, in
justice to themselves, they do, with the most perfect con-
fidence and good faith, say that—highly as some ma.
nufacturers seem to estimate the bottlei which bear
their name (expensive an item as bottles are), and diffi-
cult as it is to prevent retail tradesmen from returning
wrong ones—there is no bottle bearing any other than
their -own, however celebrated, to which Roughsedge and
Summers would wish to add the reputation to be derived
from filling them with waters of their own manufactory.
ROUGUSEDGE and SUMMERS only desire such patronage
as may be deserved from the Arated Waters producNl
at their own manufactory, and sold under tho labels of
their own name.-37, Bridge-Street, Bristol.
