MORTGAGES. A Treatise the Law of Mort
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., 500 pages.
Several years having elapsed since the last edition
of Powell on Mortgages became out Of print, it
thought that the appearance Of new, greatly en-
larged, and much improved English edition of
Coote on Mortgage presented an excellent oppor-
reprint of SO valuable and standard an authority.
With this object the book was placed in the hands
OF an editor to whom was confided the preparation
of American notes. This duty has been well done
Upon some of the most important points the notes
quite elaborate, and all exhibit great care and
diligence in their preparation. The title Gas t.
what will constitute mortgage" "who may re-
deem, and when,'' Gas to what will and will
not constitute mortgage of personal property"
''assignmento OF mortgage" "as to the mortgagee,"
'as to the mortgagor," .noticc," 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 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.

eve 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

Gin conclusion, we can only hope that the work
will find a ready and extensive SALE"
