MORTGAGES A Treatise the Law of Mort
cages, by r. II. Coote, Esq. Second American,
from the third English edition; by the author and
r. Coote, Esq, with notes and references to Amer
lean 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 new, greatly en-
arged, and much improved English edition of
Coote on Mortgage presented an excellent oppor-
unty for Offering to the profession in this country
reprint of so valuable and standard an authority.
With this object the book was placed in the hands
Of an editor to whom was coniided 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 cas- Il
what will constitute mortgage" ''who may
deem, and when," ''as to what will and will
not constitute mortgage of personal property"
assignment Of mortgage" cas- to the mortgage"
priority" "what will discharge mortgage" &C.,
are all examined carefully, and illustrated by
ference to large and valuable of authorities.
We think the work will be found 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.
