MORTGAGES. A Treatise the Law of Mort
cages, by X. II. Coote, Esq. Second American,
from the third English edition; by the author and
r. Coote, Esq, with notes and references to Amer
lcan cases vol. lvo., 500 pages
Several years having elapsed since the last edition
OF Powell on Mortgages became out of print, it
thought that the appearance of a new. greatly en-
iarged, and much improved English edition of
Coote on Mortgage presented an excellent oppor-
tunity for Offering to the profession in this country
reprint of so valuable and standard an authority
With this object the book placed in the hands
OF an editor TO whom was confded the preparation
OF American notes. This duty has been well done.
Upon some of the most important points the notes
are quite elaborate, and all exhibit great and
diligence in their preparation. The title ''as TO
what will constitute a mortgage" "who may re-
deem, and when,' "as to what will and will
not constitute mortgage of personal property"
assignment Of mortgage, - "as to the mort gagee,"
as to the mortgagor," "notice," "registry and
priority, % "what will discharge a mortgage" &c,
are all examined carefully, and illustrated by re-
ference 10 large and valuable of authorities.
We think the work will be found an important ad-
dition TO every law library.
In press. and will shortly be issued, the follow.
ing valuable additions to the Legal Literature of
the day.

alt is sometimes the fashion To decry Law Die
tonaries. II would be about as well % decry die
tonaries of the English language. There is un
doubtedly period IN professional life after which

Yankee could find his way about London without

students who have no friends TO ask questions Of.
