Chamberlayne's Edition. .§5.00 This one volume admirably euiboJies tlie principles of the law of Evidence. Tlie learned treatise of Mr. Best has always occupied a dis- tinctive position, 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 9iiperii>r to all previous editions. In his American note.s Mr. Ohamberlayne has followed the intent of the author, and has presented principles, illustrated by the be.^t case*, gli>aned with great care from all our State and national jurisdictions Professor Thavkr, Lecturer on Evidence at the Law School of Harvard University, says, I think this is tlie best edition of the l)est elementary work on Kviclence we have." Nearly all the leading law schools recommend Chamber- layne's Best as a text-book. BROWNE ON THE DOMESTIC RELA- TIONS. Leatherette, -12.00 mt ; sheep, .?2.50 ml.

CHITTY'S EQUITY DIGEST. New Edi- tion. Vol. VI. nearly ready. Sheep or half calf, -fS.OO net per volume. There has been no digest of the English Equity Reports since the third edition of Chitty in 1853, so that this Fourth Eflition, rearranged and greatly enlarged, is espe- cially welcome, fisher's Digest (or Jacob's Fisher's Digest) does not cover the Equity Cases, and whoever owns it needs Chitty also. Vol. v., now rearly, comes down through the letter P. The five volumes already published contain 5,200 large pages, or 10,400 columns, each column containing as much as an ordi- nary octavo page. There will probably be seven volumes in all. Vols. VI. and VII. will appear soon. Each case is so fully presented in this admirable Digest that the facts and the decision can usually be understood without reference to the original reports. To have Cliitty's Equity Digest and Mews's Common Law Digest on one's shelves is practically to command the whole range of English Reports. The price of this series, when the great amount of printed matter contained in each volume is considered, is below the average price of American Digests. COHEN'S ADMIRALTY LAW, ¥o.00 net.

CHOULER ON EXECUTORS AND AD- MINISTRATORS. §5.50 This is the only American treatise on a topic wbich comes into the every-day practice of all lawyers. It is recent, accurate, and thorough, and has already gained a wide and solid reputa- It presents, historically and logically, the whole Engli.sh and American law of Executors and Adu)iuistrators, 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 Testanientarj Trusts. It gives to the excellent points of our American probate practice the prominence they justly deserve, but do not get in English treatises. CHOULER ON WILLS. 1887 $5.50 He/. s s Although this topic is one of the most-important in the whole range of law literature, there ha-s been no recent American book discussing it, or any concise work in one volume, until Mr. SoHOULEK'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 Soule 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 arranirement gives ample .'^cope at^d foundation for a tliorough 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 a.- to instruct the .-tudent 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. $3.60 The only recent work on an intricate subject. OULE'S SYNONYMES.

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 Sta_tes, that there are few lawyers whose clients have not .'■omc per.-onal oT property interests outride of their own States. In this volume, for the first time, ran 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 Waiie 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.iTION, 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." SUPPLEMENT. A Supplement to St.imson's American Statute taw. containing all changes in that part of the laws of the States •which was covered by the original volume, will be ready in February, 1888.

Whoever has used any of 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 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 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 liooks of standard authority in the American courts "
