cages, by r. H. Cootc, Esq Second American,
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
Of Powell on Mortgages became out Of print, it
thought that the appearance Of a new, greatly en-
larged. and much improved English edition of
tunity for offering to the profession in this country
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
quite elaborate, and all exhibit great and
diligence in their preparation. The title Gas -
what will constitute mortgage" "who may re-
deem, and whcn," "as to what will and will
not constitute mortgage of personal property"
sassignment of mortgage" Gas to the mortgagee,"
as to the mortgagor, "notice," "registry and
priority" ""what will discharge mortgage" &C.,
ali examined carefully, and illustrated by re-
ference to large and valuable 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.

this valuable work, very much enlarged. More
than twelve hundred new articles have been added
