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., 800 pages. t9fs
Several years having elapsed since the last edition
of Powell on Mortgages became out Of print, II was
thought that the appearance of new. greatly en-
larged, and much, improved English edition of
Coote Mortgage presented an excellent oppor-
tunty 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 confdod 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 .sas -

deem, and whcn,'' "as to what will and will

ference to large and valuable mass of authorities

upon their attention, as being decidedly the most
useful law dictionary offered for sale in the United

From the Boston Lo,o Reporter, lS4S. f
"We are happy to announce a 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.
ssIt is sometimes the fashion to decry Law Die
tionaries. 1t would be about az well to decry die
tionnries Of the English language. There is un-
doubtedly period in professional life after which
recourse would rarely be had to such works for in
formation; but to say that beginner got along
without one quite as erroneous as to suppose that
Yankee could find his way about London withou. a

How else could student learn what # stood for?
"ln conclusion, we can only hope that the work
will find ready and extensive SALE"
