from the third English edition; by the author and
r. Coote, ESQ.,, with notes and references to Amer
lcan cases. vol. lvo., 800 pages.
Several years having elapsed since the last edition
of Powell on Mortgages became out Of print, was
thought that the appearance Of . new, greatly en-
larged, and much improved English edition of
COote ON Mortgage presented an excellent oppor-
tunity 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 confded the preparation
Of American notes. This duty has been well done.
Upon some Of the most important points the notes
quite elaborate, and all exhibit great care and
diligence in their preparation. The title Gas /,
what will constitute mortgage" "who may re-
deem, and whcn,' cas- to what will and will
not constitute a mortgage Of personal property"
"assignment of mortgage" Gas to the MORTGAGE"
'as to the mcrtgag0r, ''notice, "registry and
priority what will discharge mortgage" &C.,
ference TO large and valuable mass Of authorities
We think the work will be found an important ad-
dtion to every law library.

Ing valuable additions to the Legal Literature of
the day.
