DOUGLAS's elections, 1st edit. Mr. Hargrave, in notes on Coke's Litt. 110, a. says, it is with great pleasure that we cite Mr. Douglas's work, as it affords the opportunity of congratulating the student on the accession of u collection of excellent reports on the law of parliamentary elec tion, accompanied with an instructive historical preface, and very judicious annotations, and is the only work of the kind, except one lately published from Mr. Glanvil's manuscript; and that they

are both particularly valuable on account of their tendency to diffuse the knowledge of a branch of law, which before was too much confined to the narrow circle of the few favourites in possession of the practice. See also Hatsell's Preced. of proceed. in h. of
