Half calf 13-50 COKE IN RHYME. In 1742 was published, anonymously, a thin duodecimo (since twice reprinted), entitled "The Reports of Sir Edw. Coke, Kt., in Verse." The publisher prefaces the volume thus : " An ancient manuscript of the following verses falling accidentally into my hands, the publication thereof needs little apology, when it is considered these lines may at the same time not only refresh the memory, and instruct, but also afford a pleasing recreation to gentlemen of the law, and others, by showing them in narrow compass a copious and learned body of the law." A few extracts from this unique publication will show into what narrow space the author conipiessed several famous cases. Part I. Case IX.

Without venturing to criticise these verses as statements of law, it may be reinarked, on the literary side of their merits, that they read rather more like cipher telegrams than like poetry. 180 VOLUMES OP ENGLISH REPORTS POR $100.

GOOD MANUALS FOR LAW STUDENTS. Among the best books a student can use are, — Ewell's Essentials of the Law. — Vol. I. is a "Pocket Blackstone," con- taining, in very compact shape, everything in Blackstone's Commentaries not actually obsolete. Vol. II. is a terse but thorough statement of the principles of Contracts, Pleadings, and Equity. Indermaur's Leading Common Law Cases. — k the cases in " Sinith's Leading Cases" are here abstracted, with notes, and with broad margins for manuscript notes. Shirley's Leading Cases made Easy. — This is a larger book, written in a quaint and humorous style, which renders it unusually interesting, and fi.xes the cases in the memory. A new edition will be ready. May i. Best's Principles of Evidence, Chamberlayne's Edition. — This par- ticular edition of Best has peculiar value for the student, and is so far supe- rior to other editions and to other works that it is supplanting them all in the law schools. Heard's Principles of Equity Pleading. — This is the clearest and plainest exposition of the subject among all the books. Brown's Elements of Domestic Relations. — Mr. Irving Brown's suc- cessful lectures before the Albany Law School are embodied in this little volume. For prices, see inside page of cover of this paper.
