C/iamberlaj/ne's Edition. $5.00 This one volume admirably embodies the principles of the law of Kvidence. The learned treatise of Mr. Best has always occupied a distinctive position, on account of its preference for principles over details, of its lucid statements of the law, and of its apt illustrations. 'I'lie seventh English edition, now reprinted in full, is far superior to all previous editions. In his American notes Mr. Chamberlayne has followed the intent of the author, and has pre- sented the best cases, gleaned with great care, from all our State and national jurisdictions. Professor Thayer, Lecturer on Evidence at the Law School of Harvard University, says, " I think this is the best edition of the best elementary work on Evidence we have." Nearly all the leading law schools recommend Chamberlayne's Best as a text-book. Leatlii BROWNE ON THE DOMESTIC RELATIONS. ette, $2.00 net ; sheep, $2.50 net.

Dwigbt writes: " I have seen no book for years which I deem more valuable to the legal profession.'' METCALF ON CONTRACTS. New Edition. $3.50 «ef. This admirable treatise on The Principles of the Law of Contracts, by Judge Met- calf, well known to the profession as a reporter, and afterwards a judge of the Massachusetts Supreme Court, has been widely popular as the best elementary book on this subject, for the lawyer as well as for the student. It is now presented in a new edition, with the notes brought down to date, by Franklin Fiske Heard, Esq. ME WS ' COMM ON LA W DIGEST. 7 vols. Half calf, $56.00 net. This latest Digest of English Common Law Cases (founded on Fisher, and covering the decisions down to 1884) is by far the best English digest ever published. It is superior to Harrison, Fisher, and Jacob's Fisher, because it has, — 1. A new and better division into topics and subtopics. 3. A more logical arrangement of cases under each topic. 3. A concise statement of facts, and a clear synopsis of the decision in each case. 4. A much more complete s.vstem of cross-references. This digest is so full, that owning it is almost equal to having on one's shelves a complete collection of the English Common Law Reports. SCHOULER ON EXECUTORS AND ADMINISTRA- TORS. Second Edition. 1889. $5.50 nef. The popularity and successful sale of this excellent work have already brought it to a second edition. It is the only American treatise on a topic which comes into the every-day practice of all law- yers. It is recent, accurate, and thorough, and has already gained a wide and solid reputation. It presents, historically and logically, the whole English and American law of Executors and Administrators, with a due regard for the modern practical needs of such fiduciaries and their legal advisers, separating the main subject from those more abstruse topics which pertain to Wills and Testamentary Trusts. It gives to the excellent points of our American probate practice the prominence they justly deserve, but do not get in English treatises. SCHOULER ON WILLS. 1887. $5.50 «e<. Although this topic is one of the most important in the whole range of law literature, there has been no recent American book discussing it, or any concise work in one volume, until Mr, ScHOnLER's attention was drawn to it while preparing his recent work on Executors, etc. Be- lieving that there was great need of such a work, he has prepared, and Mr. Soule published early in 1887, the present treatise, which has already scored a pronounced success. The American Law Review for July-August, 1887, says of it ; " The arrangement gives ample scope and foundation for a thorough and logical treatment of the subject ; and an examination of the work shows that the learned author has taken great pains to state the rules and principles of the law and of the underlying reasons with such clearness and precision as to instruct the student and aid the practitioner in comprehending the matter. Doubtless this treatise will become the standard elementary American work on the Law of Wills." SHELDON ON SUBROGATION. $3.50 ne?. The only recent work on an intricate subject. SOULE 'S SYNONYMES. Cloth, $2.00 ; half morocco, $2.50. By far the best book of synonymes for ready and constant use. STIMSON'S AMERICAN STATUTE LAW. (Constitutions; Property; Persons.) $6.50 net. With Supplement. 1 vol. $7.60 net. Supplement separately (1887-1888), $2.00 7jet. This very important new book gives a digest of the laws of all the States and Territories, — something never before attempted. There is such great and increasing inter- course between the States, that there are few lawyers whose clients have not some personal or property interests outside of their own States. In this volume, for the first time, can be found at a glance the statute law of any State upon any point. Its value to practising lawyers is too evident to require argument. . . Chief-Justice Waite says; "Its great value becomes more and more apparent as it is used. Already it has saved me much time in my every-day work." Professor Thayer, of the Harvard Law School, reviewing it in the Nation, writes thus: " Few practising lawyers who have to prepare a case which requires any wide range of argument and illustration, will find it possible to dispense with this excellent guide." The Supplement contains all changes in that part of the laws by the original volume, up to January, 1888. WALLACE'S REPORTERS. Fourth Edition, greatly en larged. By F. F. Heard. $5.50 net. WIGMORE'S AUSTRALIAN BALLOT SYSTEM. 1889 Cloth, $1.00 net ; pamphlet, 76 cents }iet. WILLIAMS'S TARIFF LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES. Cloth, $1.50 net. WOOD ON THE LIMITATION OF A CTIONS. $6.50 net. This recent treatise, by a well-known legal author of high reputation, covers, in one large volume (of nearly one thousand closely printed pages), the principles of statutory limitations, citing all the cases which are authoritative and involve difficult questions. The cases tfi-e so fully (though tersely) abstracted that the reader comprehends at once then- exact and entire application, and is saved much waste of time in hunting up citations in the reports. This is a merit which will be appreciated by the over-worked lawyer. The Appendix gives in full the Statutes of Limitations of the different States. WOOD ON RAILWAY LAW. 3 vols. U'o.OOnet. There are so many legal questions involved under this title, and it is so difficult to discuss them adequately, or to present in a small compass the cases clearly enough for a lawyer practising at a distance from large libraries, that this treatise, intended to occupy only two volumes, has grown in the author's hands into three, which embody about thirty thousand citations, and exhaust the whole subject, from the point of view both of the railroads and of those who litigate against theiii_ Whoever has used any of Mr. Wood's law books must have noted their characteristics ot thoroughness, clearness, and practical usefulness, — in all of which this book excels. The Central Law Journal says of Wood's Railway Law : " It is undoubtedly the most important legal work that was issued during the past year. We have already used it enough to see that substantially everything relating to the law of railways, of persuasive authority in the Anuni- can courts, which has been adjudicated either in England or America, is to be found in it. ihe statements of legal doctrine are characterized by that clearness and soundness which have made the works of this writer books of standard authority in the American courts."
