from the third English edition; by the author and
X. Coote, ESQ.,, with notes and references TO Amer
lean 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
Cootc on Mortgage presented an excellent oppor-
tunity 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 quite elaborate and all exhibit great and
j diligence in their preparation. The title as {,
what will constitute mortgage" 'who may re-
deem, and when," ''as to what will and will
not constitute mortgage Of personal property"
assignment of mortgage" las TO the mortgagee,'
as to the mortgagor," ''noice," registry aud
priority - "what will discharge mortgage" &c,
arc ali examined carefully, and illustrated by re-
ference to large and valuable mass of authorities.
We think the work will be found an important adj
dton to every law library.
| In press and will shortly be issued, the follow
ing valuable additions to the Legal Literature of
the day.

1--WE are happy to announce a third edition Of

doubleday period in professional life after which
recourse would rarely be had to such works for in

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