Just published, new and valuable work on
MORTGAGES. A Treatise on the Law of Mort
cages, by n. H. Coote, Esq. Second American,
from the third English edition; by the author and
r. Coote, Esq, with notes and references to Amer
ican cascs. vol. lvo., 500 pages.
Several years having elapsed since the last edition
of Powell Mortgages became out of print, il was
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 authority.
With this object the book was placed in the hands
of an editor to whom was confded 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 ''as -
what will constitute a mortgage" "who may
deem, and when," Gas TO what will and will
not constitute mortgage of personal property"
assignment Of mortgage, "as to the mortgagee;"
priority "whaf will discharge a mortgage &c,
are ali examined carefully, and illustrated by re-
ference to 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 10 the Legal Literature of
the day.
