REMARKS ON THE USE AND ABUSE OF SOME POLITICAL TERMS. By the late Right Hon. Sir GEORGE CORNEWALL LEWIS, Bart., sometime Student of Christ Church, Oxford. A New Edition, with Notes and Appendix. By Sir ROLAND KNYVET WILSON, Bart., M.A., Barrister-at-Law; late Fellow of King's College, Cambridge; Author of History of Modern English Law.' Crown 8vo. 6s.

FROM THE EDITOR'S
PREFACE.

'The value of the book for educational purposes consists not so much in its positive results, as in the fact that it opens a vein of thought which the student may usefully follow out to any extent for himself, and that it affords an instructive example of a thoughtful, scientific, and in the best sense academical style of treating political questions.

taken to fix the scientific meaning of the political terms here discussed, and above all, to "Austin's Lectures on Jurisprudence," to which the present work may be considered as a kind of companion volume.'

THE UNDERGRADUATE'S
JOURNAL.

'The definitions and remarks are clear and learned. . . This book must be of interest to almost everyone, from the reader of the TIMES who wishes to have a clear knowledge of the meaning of the leader, to the student of history or jurisprudence.' (For Specimen see page 9.)

With regard to my own annotations, the object which I have chiefly kept in view has been to direct attention to such later writings as have expressly under

EXTRACTS FROM REVIEWS.

THE UNDERGRADUATE'S

JOURNAL.

'This book contains questions on Real and Personal Property, primarily intended, as the author informs us, for passmen, though numerous honour questions have been also inserted. The value of such a compendium of questions, as a means of measuring the progress and capacity of the student, will be best appreciated by the student himself, who has probably found himself utterly at a loss to obtain what he wants from the wide range of an ordinary Examination Paper. The references annexed to each question, and which are intended to indicate where full information on the subject may be found, are most complete, as may perhaps be inferred when we state that they fall very little short of 5000 in number. There are, besides, various lists, two indices, one of terms, the other of subjects, and in fact nothing has been spared to render this small volume as complete as possible. The questions themselves have been arranged on the plan of Stephen's Commentaries, and will be found especially useful in conjunction with that work for the Pass School. But the advanced papers on the law of contracts will prove of the greatest service to honour men and those reading for the Bar examination. Mr. Aldred promises us a Lexicon of Real Property Law, and the best we can wish it is that it may prove to be as great an assistance to the law student as the volume now before us.'-Nov. 2, 1876.

INDEPENDENT.

The author has compiled a very useful handbook for the legal student.'-Nov. 2, 1876.

THE LAW TIMES.

'Contains a great deal that is very sug gestive, and will be found useful by the student in directing his reading. There are copious references to authorities where the answers to the questions will be found.'Oct. 28, 1876.

THE SHEFFIELD POST.

'In offering this little work to the public the author has conferred a great boon, not only on the university law students, for whom it is evidently intended, but also on that much larger community of young men who are preparing for practical branches of the legal profession.

We

are speaking now more particularly of those who are training to become solicitors, and who have to pass the examination of the Incorporated Law Society before being admitted to practise. Mr. Aldred, in

preparing a volume of questions and answers for the use of students, has set about his work on an entirely new plan. Instead of answering the questions directly, he indicates by copious references where full and complete information on the various subjects may be found; thus leading the student rather to work out his knowledge for himself than to be content with gathering the isolated fragments, which in the old system could but be given in the shape of printed answers to the questions put. .The work is replete with indexes, notes, and references, including tables of cases and statutes cited and a list of maxims quoted. Besides the questions on the laws of property, there are added some special questions on the law of contracts, and these too will no doubt prove eminently useful.

It combines indeed multum in parvo: and, as most of the questions have been

collected from previous examination
papers, they will prove a sure means of
testing the intending candidate as to the
progress and accuracy of his work.
That great care and skill has been required
for the preparation of the book for public
use by the compiler cannot be doubted.
The questions are useful, practical, sen-
sible, and clearly put, the various subjects
being arranged in chapters under different
headings. Questions on recent enact-
ments and decisions have not been omitted,

and the last editions of all the authorities have been used for reference.'-Nov. 4, 1876.

'Candidates for the intermediate and final examinations of the Incorporated Law Society may refer with advantage to a collection of questions on the "Law of Real and Personal Property," edited by Mr. Philip Foster Aldred, B.A.'-Nov. 11, 1876.

PALESTRA OXONIENSIS,

IN COURSE OF PUBLICATION.

The object of this Series is to furnish Exercises and Test Papers to Candidates preparing for the various Public Examinations at Oxford.

The Questions are mostly selected from Papers which have been set in the different Schools.

Classical. Part I.

QUESTIONS AND EXERCISES FOR MATRICULATION AND RESPONSIONS. CONTENTS (1) Grammatical Questions in Greek and Latin. (2) Materials for Latin Prose. (3) Questions on Authors. Third Edition. Crown 8vo. cloth, 35. 6d.

THE GUARDIAN.

"Next to this ("The Student's Handbook to the University of Oxford") we may fitly place two volumes; being the first instalments of a series calling itself Palæstra Oxoniensis, and which are to

be followed by Questions adapted to the higher examinations. Most of them are selected from papers that have been actually set, and they may therefore be taken as good practical guides by Students and Schoolmasters.'-June 24, 1874.

(For Specimen see page 12.)

Part II.

reading for Classical Honours at Cambridge.

QUESTIONS AND EXERCISES FOR CLASSICAL SCHOLARSHIPS. (1) Critical Grammar Questions in Greek and Latin. (2) Unseen Passages for Translation. Adapted to the Oxford and Cambridge School Certificate and First Public Examinations. Crown 8vo. cloth, 4s. 6d. FROM THE PREFACE. "This volume is compiled on the same plan as Part I., but designed for more advanced students. The easier questions in higher grammar are intended for the use of competitors in the Schools Examinations and for candidates for Classical Scholarships. The more difficult questions in the same subject, and the questions in comparative philology, are intended for the latter and for candidates for Honour Moderations. It is hoped and believed that they will also be found of use in

Property Law.

'Attention is invited to the "Unseen Passages for Translation in Greek and Latin Prose and Verse," which may go some way to supply a want that has been felt in many of our public schools. The selection has been made with care from the less read classical authors, and in most instances the easier pieces come first, although it was found impossible to arrange them precisely in the order of difficulty.'

The ANSWERS separately, Is. 6d.

FROM THE PREFACE. 'The Second Edition has been extended so as to meet the requirements of the First Public Examination and of the Oxford and Cambridge Local and Certificate Examinations. With this view new matter has been introduced, and in order to avoid increasing the bulk of the volume, some of the easier questions and earlier examination papers have been omitted. The whole has been carefully revised and the answers verified. In its present form the work will be found useful in preparation for any examination which includes the subjects of arithmetic, algebra to quadratic equations with proportion, and Euclid, Books I.-IV.

Logic.

EDUCATIONAL TIMES.

No doubt the book will prove useful to those who desire to measure accurately the mathematical standard required at Matriculation and Responsions.'

THE UNDERGRADUATE'S
JOURNAL.

The plan is excellent, and one which
commends itself especially to all junior
Oxford passmen.
This combina-
tion of exercises and examination papers
seems to us extremely useful.

When supplemented by the Answers we have no doubt that this useful book will command a very considerable sale both here and elsewhere.'
