from the third English edition; by the author and
r. Coote, Esq, with notes and references to Amer
lean cases. vol. lvo., 800 pages.
Several years having elapsed since the last edition
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
a reprint of SO valuable and standard an 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.
Upon some Of the most important points the notes
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 when,' Gas to what will and will
not constitute a mortgage of personal property
assignment OF mortgage" Gas to the mortgagee,"
'as to the mortgage" .'notice," registry and
priority" what will discharge mortgage" &C..
ference large and valuable mass 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.

recourse would rarely be had to such works for in

without one, quite as erroneous as to suppose that
Yankee could find his way about London without
