The publishers share in DOS Passos on the Law

cause they give, by udcious selection OF paper ana
book binding boards more than thousand pages
in a volume no heavier more bulky and scarcely
costlier than the average law book containing only
three-quarters the quantity. The authors execu-
tion of his task seems also commendable. HIS work
isdevoted to comprehensive discussion OF the le-
Gal nature and character of Stock Exchanges, TO a
history of the various transactions made In such
places and TO a consideration of the reciprocal legal
rights and duties which are evolved from the rela-
ton of broker and client (the author IN Difference
to European usage and for other reasons gwen,
adopts the term "client" instead of "customer") y
as well as to the nature and kind of securities dealt
in on the Exchanges" His plan is broad, his re-
search has evidently been thorough, and many
traces are noticeable of practical familiarity with
the dealings described, as well as of industry in
colatng decisions. On examining the volume Tor
recent decisions which have attracted public atten-
ton, we do not detect any omissions; the quest
seems to have been faithfully continued TO the latest
practical date. Wall Street questions of current
times are in this work very clearly presented and
instructvely discussed
