from the third English edition; by the author and
H. Coote, Esq, with notes and references to Amer.
lean cases vol. lvo., 500 pages.
Severalyear having elapsed since the last edition
OF Powell on Mortgages became out of print, il was
thought that the appearance of new, greatly en-
larged, and much improved English edition of
Coote on Mortgage presented excellent oppor-
tunty Tor 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 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 care and
diligence in their preparation. The title Gas to
what VIII constitute a mortgage" "who may re-
deem, and when,' las to what will and will
not constitute mortgage of personal property"
assignment OF morga /" cas- TO the mort aageeo
as TO the mortgagor," "notice," registry and
priority, "what will discharge mortgage &C.,
are all examined carefully, and illustrated by re-
ference TO large and valuable of authorities
We think the work will be found an important adj
dition to every law library.
In press. and will shortly be issued the follow
ing valuable additions to the Legal Literature of
the day.

useful law dictionary offered for sale in the United
States.
From The Boston La,o Reporter, Is4s
we are happy TO announce a third edition of
tins valuable work, very much enlarged. More
than twelve hundred new articles have been added
70 tnose contained In former editions, and many of
the latter have been entirely remoulded
at 10 sometimes the fashion TO decry Law Die
tionarles II would be about well to decry die
tionaries OF the English language. There is I'M
doubtedly period IN professional life after which
recourse would rarely be had to such works for in
formation; butto say that beginner can get along
without one, quite as erroneous TO suppose that
Yankee could find his way about Landau vitbont'a

Bouvier's Dictionary is of great value TO all law
students, who have no friends TO ask questions Of.
How else could student learn what q stood for1
