AMERICAN STATUTE LAW: An Analysis and Compared Digest of the Constitutions and Civil Public Statutes of all the States and Terri-, tories, relating to Persons and Proper- ty, in Force Jan. 1, 1886. By FREDERIC J. STIMSON, Author of Stimson's Law Glossary. One large royal octavo volniitc, bound /« law sheep. Price, $6.50 net. This is, in many respects, the most novel and important law book published in this generation. It is a compact but lucid comparative statement of the law of all the States and Territories on each topic covered by their statutes, and of interest in other States It would seem singular that so val- uable a digest has never been attempted before ; were it not known to all lawyers that the Revised Statutes of the forty-seven States and organized Territories, together with their subsequent session- laws, occupy about two hundred and fifty bulky vol- umes, containing a mass of printed matter before which the most patient investigator might quail. Mr. Stimson has devoted five years to the task of reading, comparing, and condensing these statutes ; and, in addition to this original work, has twice verified every statement and citation. Those who have used Mr. Stimson's Law Glossary, and know his singular ability in apt and compact state- ment of law, will be prepared to find in this new work similar characteristics, without which it could not prove a success. This volume covers all the Constitutions and the law relating to Persons and Property (including Successions), in short, all ordinary substantive law, and is complete in itself. Another volume, to contain Corporation Law, Insolvency, and Proced- ure, will be published in 1887. Two quahfications as to the usefulness of this work might suggest themselves to a lawyer, — the apparent impossibility of compressing into one or two volumes the contents of two hundred and fifty, and the danger that the State law might be changed by subsequent legislation. As to the first doubt, even a slight examination will show that the bulk of our laws are identical in the various States, and that there have been two or three main streams of legislation, so to speak, aris- ing in New York, New England, and the Southern Atlantic States, so that one statement of law often serves for all, or nearly all, the States. Again, American Statute Law. — "The statute law of the United States forms a vast body of jurisprudence, in many cases complicated, peculiar, and novel, but eminently adapted to our unprecedented situation, and of equal interest for the citizen and the X^^^j^x^ — Sedgwick on Statutory and Constitutionnl Law.
