Severalyea having elapsed since the last edition
of Powell on Mortgages became out of print, it
thought that the appearance of a new, greatly
argcd, and much improved English edition of
Coote on Mortgage presented excellent oppor-
tunty 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 confided the preparation
Of American notes. This duty has been well done.
Upon some of the most important pointsthc notes
are quite elaborate. and all exhibit great care and
diligence in their preparation. The title .sas t,
what will constitute a mortgage" "who may re-
deem, and when," "as to what will and will
not constitute a mortgage Of personal property
assignment OF mortgage" "as to the mortgage"
'as to the mortgagor," "notice," ''registry and
priority, ""what will discharge mortgage" &C.,
all examined carefully, and illustrated by re-
ference to large and valuable of authorities.
We think the work will be found an important adj
dition to every law library.
In press. and will shortly be issued, the follow
ing valuable additions to the Legal Literature Of
the day.

than twelve hundred new articles have been added

recourse would rarely be had to such works for in

without one quite as erroneous as osuppose that
Yankee could ind his way about London without a
