A New Legal Work.

PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS FOR THE CON
DUCT OF LAW SUITS, BOTH IN AND OUT
OF COURT By John c. Reed. Counsellor at
Law. vol. svo., cloth. S400 Sheep, $500.
New York and Chicago: mes Cockcroft d Co.
This handsome volume is one of the
latest publications of the well-known
house whose imprint it bears, and if the
author were unknown to fame, which is
not the case, however, the reputation of
Mcssrs. Cockcroft S Co, would be sufl-
cient to secure for the work a cordial re-
ception at the hands Of the legal profess
sion Of the country.
The volume is divided into two parts
Book \, entitled Conduct out Of Court,
and Book II, Conduct IN Court, The first
p 1T treats more particularly upon the
preparation of the case-getting ready
the evidence, Ending the law applicable,
anticipation of the adversary's case, and
in general, the adoption Of any and all
fair and equitable, and at the same time
strategic means to win the case for
your client The second part of the work
relates to the manner of conducting the
case after it has come on for trial-the
best plans of examining and cross-exam-
ming witnesses, conducting the argument,
&C., &c. There is no royal road to success
and eminencc in the legal profession any
more than in any other profession or call
ing in life, and no book, however, able
and successful it's author may have been
will do any good unless it is care
fully studied and the precepts and direc-
tons carried out. This work of Mr..
Reeds is full of plain and practical sug-
gestious which cannot be otherwise than
of great benefit to any attorney If he
viii but study them, we care net how
long he may have been practicing but
the book is especially valuable to young
lawyers
1t has received the highest commenda'
tons from such eminent authorities as
Joel P, Bishop, author of the Treatise
on Criminal Law, Hon. Isaac F. Redfeld,
the Albany Laso Journal, and others.
At the close of the second part there is
added an interesting essay on "rhe Sue
cessiul Lawyer" and there is q copious
Topical Index,
Mechanically speaking the work is
gotten up and will not suffer
by comparison with any law book pub
lished in the country.

In Lippincott's Magazine for April, the
fourth paper on "The Century, its Fruits

the steps by which the project has been
brought to its present stage, which is
that of an assured success far exceeding
the original anticjPations of its most san

CRITICAL description of the principal build

the final paper dealing with the new era
now opening fer that magnificent cOun-

rapidly assimilating the civilization of

and earnest article on 1.-THE College Stu

all who are interested in the details of

improvements; while ;Eotiier educational
subject, of more special character,
"The instruction of Deaf Mutes," is
briefly but suggestiyelY treated by u
iady who has had personal experience in
the work. In quite different VEN is

known, and peculiar alike in its climate,

OF the fiction in this number it is sutfi- |
cient to mention "Ths Atonement of
Lean Dundas," which has taken so
strong a hold on the interest of its read |
ers, and story by Sarah Winter Kel- |
togg, "The House that Susan Built"
which is evidently a study from the life
of female character and enterprise. The
poems include, among others, spec.
linen of Pigeon-English, 1.-The Sing-Song
of May Coe," by Charles G. Leland !
Hans BreitmaHn); and the reader should |
got overlook . description of Weimer,
"That City of Violets," and of the per-
formances of Rossi the great Italian
actor in the monthly Gossip. The num-
Der is certainly strikingly attractive
one. !

Here is o grand chance for George to
make good record, and put a goodly
sum of money into the pockets of Il poor
corporation OF course, as president,
he has an eye single for the company's
good So he proceeds to collect the
money. The debt is an honest one-so
President George attirms under oath
aud for all honest debts the Pendlctoas
charge high fees. So George calls upon
Uncle Sam. has a brief interview of Il
quarter Of an hour, gets the claim allow
