Westminster is here brought two years nearer to

the work is issued reflects great credit upon the
publishers editors, and all connected with il.
The page is large, fair, white, and readable. The
table of cases and index seem to be prepared with
much eand diligence The former strikes as
executed on very useful plan, referring not only
to the case and page of the volume but containing
also short abstract of the subject of each case.
The editors notes scattered through the volume,
referring TO American decisions, and still more to
the value of the work The publication is TO be
continued in monthly parts or numbers, making
ably low price of $40 per annum. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuner-
