Bar, and late Fellow of Trinity Hall, Cambridge; Author of “The Law of Negligence," etc.

"The portions of Mr. Campbell's treatise devoted to Maritime Law and to the Law affecting the Stock Exchange are full

of valuable matter, which we can only thus summarily indicate. His book will, we are convinced, prove of great service as

a thoughtful and clear exposition of a branch of law of practical interest, not only to the legal profession, but also to the

merchant, the shipper, the underwriter and the broker, and to the mercantile community generally."-Law Magazine.

By SYDNEY E. WILLIAMS, of Lincoln's Inn, Barrister-at-Law, Author of "The Law and Practice

relating to Petitions in Chancery and Lunacy.”

"The text is preceded by an introduction and accompanied by notes. This is a well-digested little book. It affords

ample evidence that Mr. Williams has studied the new Acts with care. His annotations are brief and to the point, and his

occasional references to cases will assist the student."-Law Times.

Second Edition, 1 thick vol., 8vo., 42s., cloth extra.

tin's Magisterial and Police Guide,' of which a fresh edition has just

been published."-Times, January 27, 1881.

"The book is furnished with a selection of forms and precedents; the

arrangement of matter seems convenient, and we have found it easy to

consult. We have not observed any important omission within the scope

of the treatise; and the writer deserves the praise of having put to-

gether with some skill an unpretending work, which is at least more

useful than certain larger law books we know of.”—Solicitors' Journal.

of practice, as applied to joint-stock company business usually transacted

in solicitors' chambers."-Law Times.
