 ANGELL, JOSEPH K. A practical summary of the law of assignments. 12mo. Boston. 1825. This is a succinct view of the law of assignments, and the principal objection to it is, that the author "has not in all cases, followed out the doctrines of assignments to the utmost verge of the law upon the subject." "It is a neat and valuable little manual of the law of voluntary assignments by insolvent debtors." 2 Kent's Com. 536, n. 13 Am. Jur. 234. SAMUEL AMES. A Treatise on the law of private corporations, aggregate. 2d ed., revised, corrected, and enlarged. 8vo. Boston. 1843.

The first edition of this book appeared in 1832, and was pretty severely and justly criticised at the time, by a writer in the American Jurist. To the authors, however, belong the honour of first producing an American treatise upon corporations, and whatever its defects may be in style, arrangement, or in profusion of citations from English or American reports, it is undoubtedly the best work upon corporations that an American lawyer can possess. The second edition, published in 1843, was considerably enlarged by the incorporation of decisions made in the intervening time of the two editions, and a third being now called for, indicates somewhat the opinion entertained of the book. Chancellor Kent highly commends the work, 8 Am. Jur. 105; 6 Law Rep. 135. 2 Kent's Com, 206, n., and 315, n.
