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-
tunity for offering to the profession in this country
a reprint of SO valuable and standard an authority
With this object the book was placed in the banda
of an editor to whom was confided the preparation
of American notes. This duty has been we'll 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 u
what will constitute mortgage" "who may re-
deem, and whcn," Gas to what will and will
not cOnatitute n MORTGAGE of nersOnal Nv

are ali examined carefully, and illustrated by re-
ference TO a large and valuable mass of authorities.
We think the work will be found an important add
dition to every law library.
In press. and will shortly be issued the follow.
ing valuable additions to the Legal Literature Of
the day.
