fore. the death Of its distinguished au-
thor, and it has been finished by his
son, James S. Manning, Esq. This
volume was intended to DE one OF
series. but death came upon it's author
before the first was finally completed
1t represents in part the course of
instruction given by DR.. Manning at
the University for many years, whereby
he so successfully adapted the ancient
principles of law to modern conditions.
And it is intended to be of aid to the
active, practicing lawyers, and to inn
press upon them the value of funda-
mental principles underlying our sys-
TEN of Jurisprudence, to which recur-
renee cannot too often be had
While the Rights of Persons gen
orally are fully and clearly set forth
in this volume, yet especial attention
is devoted to Master and Servant" and
Husband and Wife," whose changed
conditions are now so very different
from the era when Blackstone wrote
Not only decisions are cited from our
State Ryeports. but also from many
other States. and all are Systematically
arranged and clearly set forth. The
chapter on Husband and Wife alone
contains $50 pages and Is Invaluable to
the practicing lawyer.
AS showing DR.. Manning's affection
for his former students the dedicatory
words of his book are here quoted, as
follows: 'To those generous young
men whom | have had the pleasure to
instruct in the great and far reaching
principles of the law, this volume is dedi-
Gated with affectionate regards"
In perusing the pages Of this volume
the old students of DIR. Manning will
almost realize that he is again speaking
to them in propria persona, and they
will be forcibly. and yet so sadly, re-
minded of his lectures which We're as
entertaining as they were instructive.

POEM ON BURNS.

The late Robert G.. Ingersol, VINO was
the author of many poems, never wrote
three more beautiful verses than those
quoted below on Robert Burns. 1hey
were written during a visit to the birth
place of the Scottish poet:
Though Scotland boasts a thousand
names
OF patriot, king and peer.
The noblest, grandest of them all
Was loved and Graded here;
Here lived the gentle peasant prince,
The loving cotter king,
Compared with whom the greatest lord
Is but titled thing.
IT'S but a cot rooted in with straw,
\ howell made of clay;
One door shuts out the SNOW and storm
One window grerts the day.
And yet | stand within the room
And held all thrones in scorn.
For here, beneath this lowly tharch,
Loves sweetest bard was born.
WitlGn this hallowed hut | feel
Like ONE who clasps a shrine,
When the glad Hips at last have touched
The something deemed divine.
And here the world, Through all the
years,
As long as day returns,
The tribute of it's love and tears.
