from the third English edition; by the author and
r. Cooe, Esq, with notes and references to Amer
lean cases. vol. 1vo., 500 pages.
Several years having elapsed since the last edition
OF Powell on Mortgages became out of print, it was
thought that the appearance of new, greatly en-
larged, and much improved English edition of
Coote on Mortgage presented an excellent oppor-
tuniy for offering to the profession in this country
reprint of SO valuable and standard authority.
With this object the book 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

are all examined carefully, and illustrated by re-
ference to large and valuable of authorities
We think the work will be found an important adj

the day.
