| MORTGAGES. Treatise on the Law of Mort

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, 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
reprint of so valuable and standard an authority.
With this object the book was placed in the hands
of an editor to whom was confdcd 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 care 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 mortgage Of personal property .

| 'as to the mortgagor," "notice," "registry and
priority" ""what will discharge mortgage &C.,
are all 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 to the Legal Literature of
the day.
