This work ia upon the plan of Smiths Leading
Cases, and applies the same method of and
illustration to various important branches OF the
Law which were not included therein, and is, in
effect, continuation of that work. The cases con-
sist of the most celebrated decisions in the Federal
Courts, and the Courts of the several States, upon
the subjects discussed, accompanied by elaborate
in uhc the RepOrta of all the States the
Union have been collated; so that the work pre-
sents complete view of AMERICAN LAW upon

Several years having elapsed since the last edition
of Powell on Mortgages became out of print, it 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 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 Has {,

not constitute a mortgage of personal property"

are all examined carefully, and illustrated by re-
ference TO large and valuable mass Of authorities.
We think the work will be found an important adj
| diton to every law library,
In press. and will shortly be issued, the follow
ing valuable additions to the Legal Literature of
the day.
