 DAV based upon the English Orders in Chancery, as well as the similarity of the Equity Practice in the State Courts to that of the English, render Daniell's Chancery Practice of great and general value to American law- yers. An American edition is now passing through the press, edited by J. C. Perkins. 1 Jurist, 314, 337; 4 L. M. N. S. 309. DANSON, F. M. and LLOYD, J. H. Reports of Cases relating to Commerce, Manufactures, &c., determined in the Courts of Common Law, at Nisi Prius and in Banc, in 1828-29. 8vo. London. 1830. DANSON, J. F. AND G. D. DEMPSEY. The Inventor's Manual; a familiar and practical 'J'reatise of the Law of Patents for In- venters. 8vo. London. 1843. " This a useful manual, furnishing inventors and others interested in patent property, with such an explanation as may enable them to ascer- tain the nature and extent of their rights, and the remedies provided for their infringement." 26 L. O. 40G. D'ANVERS, K. A General Abridgment of the Common Law, alphabetically digested under proper tides. 2d ed. 3 vols. fol. 1722-37. This work, so far as it goes, is a translation of Roll's Abridgment, with the addition of Cases down to the time D'Anvers wrote. For want of a suitable publisher and patronage, the Abridgment was only com- pleted to the Title Extinguishment. When published it received the imprimatur of all the judges except Lord Holt, who disapproved of the work; but subsequently, as Mr. Viner informs us, not only paid the author a personal compliment from the bench, but left him an annuity of twenty pounds per annum for life. Mr. Viner also gives the following account of its progress through the press — "I have been credibly in- formed that his first volume continued seven years in the press. In eight years from the publication thereof came out his second volume. The next was only a single Title, Error, and which at first was entitled a continuation of the second volume, though afterwards it was new named, and then called part of the third volume; but the Title Error did not make its appearance till fourteen j'ears after the coming of the second volume. And after another ten years respite followed the remainder of the third volume ; so that from the publication of volume first to that of volume third was not less than thirty-two years complete."
