 PUBLICATIONS OF CHARLES C. SOULB. ABBOTT'S ADDISON ON CONTRACTS. 3 vols. Sl-2.00 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 Benjamin Vaugiian Abdoit. The original work lias an unexcelled reputation. It covers a vast field. It cites a great number of English and Ameri- can cases. Tliis edition lias 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 EngUsh, or those which Addi- son fails to cover. In the words of the Law Times, "It is thoroughly practical, and is by far the best book on the Law of Contracts." AUSTIN'S FARM LAW. Cloth, $2.00 «e«; sheep, S2.50 mt.

S5.00 net. EST ON EVIDENCE. Chamberlayne's Edition. S5.00 net. Thi.-! one volume admirably embodies the princples of the law of Evidence. Tlie learned treatise of Mr. Best has always occupied a dis- tinctive po.^ition, on account of its preference for principles over 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. Chamberlatne 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. 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 Chamber- layue's Best as a text-book. BROWNE ON THE DOMESTIC RELATIONS. Leatherette, $2.00 net; sheep, $2.50 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, be- cause it has, — 1. A new and better division into topics and subtopics. 2. 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 comjilete system of cross- references. . This digest is so full, that owning it is almost equal to hav- ing on one's shelves a complete collection of the Eng- I lish Common Law Keports. SCHOULER ON EXECUTORS AND ADMINIS- TRATORS. $5.50 net. This is the only -American treatise on a topic whicli comes into tlie every-day practice of all lawyers. It is recent, accurate, and tliorough, and has already gained a wide and soUd reputa- tion. It presents, historically and logically, the whole English and American law of Executors and Administrators, with a due re- gard for tlie 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. CCHOULER ON WILLS. 1887. So.bO net. 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. SCHOULER's attention was drawn to it while preparing his recent work on Executors, etc. Believing that there was great need of such a work, he has prepared, and Mr. SocLE published early in 1887, the present treatise, which has already scored a pro- nounced success. The American Law Review for July-August, 1887, says of it : " The arrangement gives ample scope apd foundation for a thorough and logical treatment of the subject ; and an examina- tion of the work shows that the learned author has taken great pains to state the rules and principles of the law and of the un- derlying reasons with such clearness and precision as to instruct the student and aid the practitioner in comprehending the mat- ter. Doubtless this treatise will become the standard elementary American work on the Law of Wills.'' gHELDON ON SUBROGATION. $3.50 net. The only recent work on an intricate subject. 'OULE'S SYNONYMES. Cloth, $2.00; half i ) $2.50. By far the best book of synonymes for ready and constant CTIMSON'S AMERICAN STATUTE LAW. $6.50

This very in, laws of ail (1 never before ath i tercourse bctw., ; clients have not look gives a digest of the 1(1 Territories, — something - such great and increasing in- it there are few lawyers whose '■r property interests outside of luie, 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. Cliief-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 Thater, of the Harvard Law School, reviewing it in the N,VTiox, 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." ALLACE'S REPORTERS. Fourth Edition, greatly enlarged. By F. F. Heard. $5.50 net. w w ILLIAMS'S TARIFF LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES. Cloth, $1..50 net. WOOD ON THE LIMITATION OF ACTIONS. $G.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 are so fully (though tersely) abstracted that the reader comprehends at once their ex.act and entire application, and is saved much wast*3 of time in bunting 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 State.*, as now in force. OOD ON RAILWAY LAW. 3 vols. $15.00 net. There are so many legal questions involved under this title, and it is so difiicult to discuss tliem 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 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 ot Mr. Wood's law books must have noted their characteristics of thoroughness, clearness, and prac- tical usefulness, — in all of which this book excels. The Ce-ntral Law Journal says of Wood's RAawAY 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 American courts, which has been adjudicated either in England or America, is to be found in it. The statements of legal doctrine are characterized by that clear- ness and soundness which have made the works of this writer books of standard authority in the American courts."
