from the third English edition; by the author and
X. Coote, ESQ.,, with notes and references to Amer
lean cases. i vol lvo., 800 pages.
Several years having elapsed since the last edition
Of Powell on Mortgages became out OF print, il was
thought that the appearance of q 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
reprint Of SO valuable and standard authority.
With this object the book was placed in the hands
of an editor to whom was confidcd the preparation
of American notes, This duty has been well done.

are quite elaborate, and all exhibit great and
diligence in their preparation. The title "as t,
what will constitute mortgage" "who may re-
deem, and whcn,'' ''as to what will and will
not constitute mortgage OF personal property, -
assignment of mortgage, Gas to the mortgage"
as to the mortgagor," "notce," "registry and
priority, ,"sswhat will discharge mortgage" &c.
are all examined carefully, and illustrated by re-
ference TO a large and valuable mass of authorities.
We think the work will be found an important ad-
diton to every law library.

From the Boston Lap Reporter, lS4S.
"We are happy to announce third edition OF
this valuable work, very much enlarged. More
than twelve hundred new articles have been added
to those contained in former editions, and many OF
; the latter have been entirely remoulded.
"It is sometimes the fashion to decry Law Die
tonaries. 1t would be about well to decry die
tonaries of the English language There is un.
doubtedly period in professional life after which
would rarely be had to such works for in
, formation; but to say that beginner get along
without one, quite erroneous to suppose that
Yankee could find his way about London without a
, pocket map. Even the list of Abbreviations in
Bouvier's Dictionary is of great value to all law
students, who have friends to ask questions of
How else could student learn what q stood for?
4 "In conclusion, we can only hope that the WORK
will find ready and extensiye sale"
