CURRENT LEGAL LITERATURE This department is designed to call attention to the articles in all the leading legal periodicals of the preceding month and to new law books sent us for review.

AUTOMOBILES. "The Law of Automo biles," by Xenophon P. Huddy. Matthew, Bender & Co., Albany, New York, 1906. Price $3.50. This book is in two parts, the second con taining the statutory regulations for automo biles in the different states and in England. The first part is a collection of the cases so far decided regarding the use of automobiles, dis cussions of some problems not yet judicially determined, and the application of some of the familiar principles of agency, bailments, and contracts to the questions likely to affect owners of automobiles. In style the book is clear and simple, and will be of value to owners and manufacturers of motor cars as well as to lawyers. While the scope of such a work is too limited to give room for much erudition, the book is valuable as the first col lection of the recent cases and recent statutes on this subject. CODIFICATION.
