This work Is upon the plan OF Smiths Leading

Law which were not included therein, and is, in
effect, continuation of that work. The cases con-
sist of the most celebrated decisions in the Federal

MORTGAGES. Treatise on the Law Of Mort
CAGES by r. H. Coote, Esq Second American,
frcm the third English edition; by the author and
X. Coote, Esq, with notes and references to Amer
lean cases. vol. lvo.b 500 pages.
Several years having elapsed since the last edition
of Powell on Mortgages became out Of print, il was
thought that the appearance of new. greatly en-
larged, and much improved English edition Of
Coote on Mortgage presented an excellent oppor-
tunty for offering to the profession in this country
n reprint of 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 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
deem, and when," s'as to what will and will
not constitute mortgage Of personal property"
''assgnmentd mortgage" "as to the mortgagee,"
eas to the mortgagor," "notice" "registry and
priority "what will discharge a mortgage" &C.,
are ali examined carefully, and illustrated by re-
ference TO large and valuable Of authorities
We think the work will be found an important ad-
diton to every law library.
In press. and will shortly be issued, the follow
ing valuable additions to the Legal Literature OF
the day.
