r. Coote, ESQ.,, with notes and references to Amer

Several years having elapsed since the last edition
OF Powell on Mortgages became out Of print, il was

Of American notes. This duty has been well done.

what will constitute mortgage" 'swho may re-
deem, and when,'' Gas to what will and will
not constitute mortgage of personal property

References to the civil and other systems of Foreign
Law. BY John Bouvier. Third edition, much
! improved and enlarged.
| The great improvements effected by the able edi

those preceding to enable the publishers to place
II before the profession, with the strongest claims
upon their attention, as being decidedly the most
useful law dictionary offered for sale in the United
States.
| From Ne Boston Lao Reporter, IS4S.
| "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 remouded.
! at is sometimes the fashion to decry Law Die
tionaries. IT would be about as well TO decry die
tonaries of the English language. There is
doubtedly period in professional life after which
recourse 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
pocket map. Even the list Of Abbreviations in
Bouvier's Dictionary is of great value to all law
students, who have no friends TO ask questions Of
How else could student learn what f stood for?
''In conclusion, only hope that the work
| will find ready and extensive sale"
