cages, by r. H. Coote, Esq Second American
from the third English editions by the author and
r. Coote, ESQ.,, with notes and references to Amer
lean cases. lvol. lvo, 500 pages.
Severaiyears having elapsed since the last edition
of Powell on Mortgages became out of print, it 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
a reprint of so valuable and standard authority
| With this object the book was placed in the hands
Of an editor to whom was 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 care and
diligence in their preparation. The title sag T.

deem, and when,' Gas to what will and will.
not constitute mortgage of personal property"
"assignment of mortgage" "as to the mortgagee,"
| 'as to the mortgagor," ssnotice," "regstry and
priority, ""what will discharge mortgage" &C.,
are all examined carefully, and illustrated by
ference to large and valuable mass of authorities,
We think the work will be found an important ad-
dition to every law library.
In press. and will shortly be issued, the follow
ing valuable additions to the Legal Literature of
