Law or Jupfc'rAL A.:p ExEcUrIoN SALTS: By DA-
v1p RoREn, Of the Iowa Bar. Chicago: Catlaghnn
l. Co.
This valuable and careful1v-prepared work
treats, under six parts, of, the Nature Ct Ju-
dicial and Execution Sales; 2, Of Judicial Sales
Of Real Property; g. Of Judicial Sales OF Per
eonnl Property, Corporate Franchises, Property,
and Stocks; 4. Of Execution Sa1cs of Real Prop
erty; s. of Execution Sales OF Personal Prop
orty; and, 6, of Exemption from Sale aud the
Application OF the Proceeds. The line OF dis
tinction between the two classes Of sales is
clearly traced,-tbe former being the act Of the
court, and tho latter generally the act OF tho
e1ecution-plaintin, through the Sheriff as his
ministerial officer. Both classes OF sales are SO
important feature in the titles OF both real aud
personal property that lawyers engaged to any e1-
tent in certifying titles, and in trying cases
OF replev1n and troyeE for pereonai properly,
will find the work invaluable and Indispensable.
It is remarkably condensed aud brief, containing
the points decided with references to tho cases

selves which, II enteled into at all, might easily
have mado tho work three tlmes its present size:
Tho work bears proof on every page ot
original and exhaustive labor, for We know OF no
law.book heretofore written which even pretend

brief and imperfect chapter in the various WORKS
on Practice at Common Law and in ChancaEy,
and another in works on Heal Property OF Con
tracts, are all that hare heretofore been Afford

validity Of titles un1er Judicial and execution

and with svstern Tho work embodies years Of
labo. by careful lawyer OF high local reputation
in Iowa, and will certainly lift his State repnta-
tion into q National one. The first edition had
an easy Bale and the present one is being called
for at a ratio which attesss that tue VOTE, thouPh
very little advertised, has found favor with the
profession rs 4 neat, CO nciso, valuable, and L.
bo1ious work,-all that it claims to be.
