cages, by r. II. Coote, 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 1t was
thought that the appearance of q new, greatly en-
larged, and much improved English edition Of
Coote Mortgage presented an excellent oppor-
tunty for offering 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 and
diligence in their preparation The title ''as t,
what will constitute mortgage" "who may re-
Deem and when,'' "as to what will and will
not constitute mortgage Of personal property"

.as Q the mortgagOS.r.n; notice" registry and

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

the day.
