Several years having elapsed since the last edition
OF Powell on Mortgages became out of print, it
| thought that the appearance of new, greatly

Coote on Mortgage presented an excellent oppor-
un!ty 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 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 q mortgage" .'who may re-
deem, and whcn," ''as to what will and will
not constitute mortgage of personal propsrty,'
assignment OF mortgage "as to the rnortgagee,"
as 10 the mortgagor, notice." 'registry and
priority" ''what will discharge mort sage &C.

ference TO large and valuable mass Of authorities.
We think the work will be found an important adj
dition TO every law library.
