Just published, new and valuable work on
MORTG AGES. A Treatise on the Law of Mort
frcm the third English edition; by the author and
r. Coote, Esq.,, with notes and references to Amer
ican cases. / VOL lvo., 500 pages.
Several years having elapsed since the last edition
of Powell on Mortgages became out of print, il
thought that the appearance of a new, greatly en-
largcd, and much improved English edition of
Coote on Mortgage presented an 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 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 "as t.
what will constitute mortgage" "who may re-
deem, and whcn," "as to what will and will
not constitute a mortgage of personal property"
.as to the mortgagor," ssnotice," .sregistry and
priority" swhat will discharge mortgage SC,
are all examined carefully, and illustrated by re-
ference to large and valuable mass Of authorities.
We think the work will be found an important ad-
dtion to every law library.
In press. and will shortly be issued, the follow
ing valuable additions to the Legal Literature of
the day.

TO those contained in former editions and many Of
the latter have been entirely remoulded.
"It is sometimes the fashion to decry Law Die
tionaries. 1t would be about well to decry die
tionaries Of the English language. There is
doubtedly period in professional life after which
recourse would rarely be had to such works for in
formation; but to say that beginner can get along
