A ARE Book.

a REaARKABI-E Book.
NAM years ago Sir Edward Sugden wrot,
for an English law journal aseries Of Let
tiers 10 q Man of Property. " These letters wer,
written in an attractive and popular style
and embraced such legal subjects as woulC
be of greatest interest and use to a country
gentleman remote from town, who haG
often to act, from want ofadyiee, on his Owl
judgment. The journal in which they wer,
published was much sought for, both il
England and in this country. So well die
they cover the ground, and SO popular die
they become, that they Were subsequent,
collected and published in book form. Tn,
book met with an extensive circulation anc
after Sir Edward became. Lord Saint Leon.
ard, was rewritten and a new edition given
Leonard's Laws of Property" which became
still more popular with the legal profession,
and with business men.
A few years later Theophilus Parsons. Ii
D., of the Law School of Harvard Univer-
sity. then in the zenith of his power as a
lawyer, commenced the preparation of a
/ work on the Laws Of Business" modelled
after Lord St. Leonards book. The work
became exceedingly popular, and Thousands
of the clearest-headed business men in the
country pronounced it to be a book they
could not afford to get along without. The
author had, however, given to it only such
leisure as the duties of Dane Professor left
him, and compiled it mainly from the law
books he had already made for the profes-
sion. He determined, therefore, at some fu-
ture day, to retire and make a new edition
OF tie work. To make the book as useful as
it might be, s~uperfluous matter was to be
eliminated, plain English sentences we're to
take the place of technical terms, and many
chapters on new topics, and very many
more forms inserted. He entered upon
the contemplated new edition but be-
came satisfied it would not suffice, and
that nothing would suffice but n nstp
copyright, and under it a neW book, which
should cover ALL the ground intelligent pur-
chasers had a right 10 expect a book Of its
kind would occupy. This new book he has
now brought to perfection, retaining a part
of The former title, but calling it an En-
larged and Improved Edition" to distin-
gnish 1t from the old. This reniarka-
bic volume not only supersedes the
one modelled after Lord Saint Leonard's, but
is the only book of its Kind which has ever
been endorsed by the Chief Justice of the
United States, the Associate Justices of the
Supreme Bench, and the most eminent jur-
lists and lawyers ofthe country, II moi only
covers,hese legal questions which constantly
arise in connection with property, and the
everyday transactions of the community,
but each principle discussed is conc,sely
drawn from the most recent decisions OF the
courts.
As to the forms, they have been so largely
multiplied as TO embrace every legal instru-
ment in common use. The author well
says: He must be q bold lawyer who
would undertake to prefer forms of his own
make TO those which the courts and com
use have sanctioned.r This Professor
Parsons has not done, but has embraced
only those forms which have TODD the test
