 BUT BURTON, J. A Manual of the Laws of Scotland, Civil, Municipal, Criminal, and Ecclesiastical, with a Practical Commentary on the Mercantile Laws, and on the Powers of Justices of the Peace and other Magistrates. 12mo, Edinburgh. 1839. BUSSARD,. Elemens de Droit Naturel Prive. 8vo. Paris. 1840. Depuis Grotius, le dernier nom qui eut setenti dans cette branohe phi- losophique du droit, etait celui dc Burlamqui. Un genie speculatif eton- nant par sa profondeur, Kant, a donne naissance a une nouvelle ecole. Les savans allemands marcherent avec ardeur dans la voie que le grand metaphysicien venait d'ouvrir, et nous pensons que M. Bussard a bien mente de la science, en conferant avec le droit remain et les codes Fran- Qais les principes du droit naturel, tels que les ont laisses les travaux feraarquables de Schmalz, de Fichte, Zachariae, Rotteck, &c. 3 Rev. Etran. & Fran. 974. JBUTLER, CHARLES. Horae Juridicie Subsecivae ; being a con- nected series of Notes respecting the Geography, Chronology, and Literary History of the Principal Codes and original Docu- ments of the Grecian, Roman, Feudal, and Canon Law. 8vo, London. 1804, 1807. 8vo. Philadelphia. 1808. With addi- tional Notes and Illustrations. 3d ed. 8vo. London. 1830. The author, in the compilation of this work, appears to have freely used Schomberg's Elements of the Roman Law, (" an amusing and superficial little work,") with a sprinkling of authorities borrowed from Gibbons, 44th chapter. It is an unfavorable specimen of Mr. Butler's labors, being neither noted for accuracy or depth of research. It con- tains, however, useful information upon the subjects of which it treats, and refers the student to autliorities to assist him in a farther prosecution of each head of inquiry. 8 Westminster Rev. 422 ; 2 Hoffman's Leg.
