supplement contains forms of deeds of bargain
and sale, lease, trust and release, together with
forms of attachments, holding bail, &C., under
the present Code of Virginia. Such work has
long been needed by the profession, and even
more by the community at large, especially by
those who reside in the country, or wherever
legal advice is not easily procured Nothing is
easier than to draw deed bond, powers. &C.,
with the assistance of this Form Book, and the
directions made so plain and unmistakeabIe
that any man of ordinary intelligence may
dispense entirely with tho assistance of

statute provisions of the Code-much of the
original volume has become obsolete 10 view of
the great and important changes 10 the Code by
the revisal of $40, and new edition was needed,
which should make the requisite alterations in
the forms. This Mr.. Sands has given u.s. and tho
task has been performed with the intelligence

been expected from that gentleman The Sup
plement besides, is all additional, aud is full of
most useful formula. and calculations of the
present provisions OF the Code. 1t needed such.
The typography and general execution of the
volume very credtable to the publisher.
