thought that the appearance of new, greatly en-
larged, and much improved English edition of

tunity for Offering TO the profession in this country
a reprint OF 80 valuable and standard an authority
With this object the book placed in the hands
OF an editor to whom was confided 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

We think the work will be found an important ad-
