 PUBLICATIONS OF CHARLES C. SOULE. ABBOTT'S ADDISON ON CONTEACTS. 3 vols. ¥12.00 net. This work is a reprint, in full, of the eighth English edition, which contains about forty per cent more matter than previous editions, and is further enlarged by copious American notes by Benj imin Vaughan Abbott. The original work has an unexcelled reputation. It covers a vast field. It cites a gi-eat number of English and Ameri- can cases. This edition has all the indexes and tables of cases which former editions lack. The American notes of Mr. Abbott cover admirably points on which our law differs from the English, or those which Addi- son fails to cover, such as Contracts by Teiegraph. In the words of the L.w Times, "It is thoroughly practical, and is by far the best book on the Law of Contracts." BATEMAN ON THE LAW OF AUCTIONS. American Notes by H. N. Sheluon. $5.00 net. This is a reprint of the sixth English edition (the only work on the subject), with notes by the able author of Sheldon on Subrogation. B EST ON EVIDENCE. Chamberlayne's Edition. $5.00 net. This one volume admirably embodies the priuciples of the details, of its lucid statements of the law, and of its apt illustra- tions. The seventh English edition, now reprinted in full, is far superior to all previous editions. In his American notes, Mr. Chamberlaync has followed the Intent of the author, and has presented principles, illustrated by the best cases, gleaned with great care from all our State and national jurisdictions. The result of grafting excellent American notes upon so good an English edition of a standard work is shown in the position which Chamberlayne's Best has at once taken. Professor Thayer, Lecturer on Evidence at the Law School of Harvard University, says, " I think this is the best edition i)f the best elementary work on Evidence we have." The Michigan University Law School places Chamberlayne's Uest at the head of the list of works on Evidence recommended to students. Lawyers as well as students will find this book useful in going back to the principles of this important branch of the law. BROWNE ON THE DOMESTIC RELATIONS. Leatherette, $2.00 net; sheep, $2.50 net.

A concise statement of facts, and a clear synopsis of the decision in each case. 4. A much more complete system of cross- references. 5. One alphabetical arrangement down to 1884. This digest is so full, that owning it is almost equal to hav- ing on one's shelves a complete collection of the Eng- lish Common Law Reports. A digest is chiefly useful in saving labor and time in hunting up cases and examining the law. The later and better a digest is, the more labor it saves ; so that those lawyers who believe in having the best books in their libraries are buying Mews' Digest, eveu where they already own previous editions. M EWS' DIGEST OF CRIMINAL CASES. Half calf, $5.00 net. A Digest of all the English Criminal Cases to 1884. SCHOULER ON EXECUTORS AND ADMINIS- TRATORS. $5.50 net. This is the only American treatise on a topic which comes into the every-day practice of all lawyers. It is recent, accurate, and thorough, and has already gained a wide and solid reputa- tion. It presents, historically and logically, the whole English and American law of Executors and Administrators, with a due re- gard 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. The author is well known from his previous excellent trea- tises on Bailments and on Personal Property. gHELDON ON SUBROGATION. $3.50 net. The only recent work on an intricate subject. SHIRLEY'S LEADING CASES. Cloth, $2.50 net ; sheep, $3.00 net.

Cloth, $2.00; half morocco, $2.50. By far the best book of synonymes for ready and constant S' TIMSON'S AMERICAN STATUTE LAW. $6.50 net. 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 in- tercourse 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 tirst 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. ALLACE'S REPORTERS. Fourth Edition, greatly enlarged. $5.50 net. ILLIAMS' TARIFF LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES. Cloth, $1.50 net. OOD ON THE LIMITATION OF ACTIONS. $6.50 net. w w w 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. 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, as now in force. w OOD ON RAILWAY LAW. net. There are so many legal questions involved under this title, and it is so difficult to discuss them adequately, or to present the cases clearly enough for a lawyer practising at a distance from large libraries, in a small compass, that this treatise, intended .to occupy only two volumes, has grown in the author's hands into three, which embody about thirty thousand citations, aud ex- haust the whole subject, from the point of view both of the railroads and of those who litigate against them. Whoever has used any ofttlr. Wood's law books must have noted their characteristics of thoroughness, clearness, and prac- tical usefulness, — in all of which this book excels. No lawyer who ever has or hopes to get a case either for or against a railroad can afford to do without Wood on Railro.ad9, even if he has other works on the subject already on his shelves.
