lean cases. l vol. lvo., 500 pages.
Several years having elapsed since the last edition
of Powell on Mortgages became out of print, il was
thought that the appearance Of a new, greatly en-
larged, and much improved English edition OF
Coote on Mortgage presented an excellent oppor-
tunity for Offering to the profession in this country
a reprint of 80 valuable and standard 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 we'll done.
Upon some of the most important points the notes
quite elaborate, and all exhibit great and
diligence in their preparation. The title "as u
what will constitute a mortgage" "who may re-
deem, and when" s.as to What will and will
not constitute mortgage of personal property
Consignment Of mortgage" "as to the mortgage"
'as TO the mortgage" notice" registry and
are all examined carefully, and illustrated by
ference to 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.
