"Mr. Wallace's Reports ended with a single number, leaving us only to regret that he who has shown us how well he could report, has not gratified the public expectation, in respect to the same court, since Judge Washington presided in it." The second edition contains two cases not inserted in the first. I Hall's Journal of Jurisprudence, 415. . Remarks upon the Law of Bailment. 8vo. Pam- phlet. WALLACE, JOHN WM. The Reporters chronologically ar- ranged ; with occasional Remarks upon their respective Merits. 2d edition, revised. 8vo. Philadelphia. 1845. Mr. Wallace has embodied, in one hundred pages, more useful infor- mation respecting the Reporters, than can be found in any single publi- cation whatever. Mr. Sumner contributed two articles in the 8th and 12th volumes of the American Jurist, upon Legal Bibliography, and Mr. Ram, in his work entitled. The Science of Legal Judgment, collects many judicial criticisms upon the Reports and elementary law book, but in point of fulness of illustration, and appropriateness of comment, Mr. Wallace's volume, as to the Reporters, surpasses all that had previously been done. He confines his illustrations chiefly to the Reports, from the earliest period of reporting in England, to the close of the reign of Geo. II. Prefixed to the more immediate subject matter of the work, are some remarks upon the value to be placed upon the incidental obser- vations of the Bench upon the merits of the Reporters, the original lan- guage in which the Reports were taken, the sources from whence the MSS. of the published volumes were obtained, and a general survey of the laborers in the " old fields, out of which the new corn must come." The work is written in a peculiar, and happy style, and impresses the reader favorably with the author's abundant reading, and aptness for communicating this species of information. The volume only lacks one thing, an Index. 6 L. R. 425. 715
