OF MODERN LAW BOOKS, TOGETHER WITH A COMPLETE CHRONOLOGICAL LIST OF ALL THE ENGLISH, AND A TABLE OF ABBREVIATIONS USED IN REFERENCE TO LAW BOOKS, BY V. & R. STEVENS, SONS, & HAYNES, Law Booksellers, and Publishers, 26, BELL YARD, LINCOLN'S INN, W.C, SUCCESSORS TO W. G. BENNING AND CO LATE OF 43, FLEET STREET, LONDON. 1864. COLELIN ADVERTISEMENT. SINCE No. IV. of our Catalogue was iffued, several new editions of Law Works have appeared, of which particular mention may be made of LEVI'S COMMERCIAL LAW, Second Edition, in 2 vols. The work is divided into thirty chapters, including the rights of commerce in time of peace and war, fources of commercial law, law relating to trading and traders, partnership, commandite partnership, joint stock companies, principal and agent, hiring and fervice, contracts, contract of fale, bills of exchange, cheques, banking, bank-notes, guarantees, negotiable inftruments, patents, copyright, international copyright, trade marks, shipping, affreightment, carriers, marine infurance, general average, life, fire, and accident insurance, bankruptcy, foreign attachment, arbitration, and courts for the administration of commercial law, including tribunals of commerce. The Patent Law of different countries is fully defcribed. There are firft the British Law, and afterwards the law of France, the United States, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Greece, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Pruffia, Poland, Portugal, Ruffia, Spain, and Sweden. The fame fulness is obfervable upon the law of Copyright. The following extract from the preface indicates the exact nature of the work :— "It is the object of the present work to bring the fundamental principles of the law merchant, and the rules which have been superadded to them in different countries, into contact with each other, fo that we may profit by each other's experience, and, at the same time, gather materials for the attainment of a folid and permanent progress in mercantile legislation. The chief advantage of such a work is the ready access it affords to the existing laws of the principal countries of the world. Other works on commercial law, fuch as Smith's or Chitty's, are confined to the laws of England. In this the field is enlarged, and the laws of foreign countries are put fide by fide with our own, because commerce is effentially international, and we are deeply affected by the laws and procedure of other states. 26, Bell Yard, Lincoln's Inn. Hence the distinctive title of 'International' Commercial Law. The fcience of international law has hitherto been limited to the political relations of states; but recently not a few special conventions relating to commerce have been formed, such as those relating to international copyright, trade marks, and public companies. The portion, moreover, called private international law, contains provifions intimately affecting the interests of merchants, whilst a great branch of international law proper confifts in settling the rights of commerce in time of peace and war, which forms the subject of the introductory chapter." We have also to name a fourth edition of PRIDEAUX'S PRECEDENTS IN CONVEYANCING, very much enlarged, and, we believe, greatly improved. A third edition of WHARTON'S well known LAW LEXICON is just ready. Great pains and labour have been bestowed upon this work to fuftain the very favourable repute in which the former editions were held; the references to Statutes have been brought down as nearly as poffible to the date of publication-Hilary Term, 1864– and the Author has been affisted by G. H. Cooper, Esq., and R. Searle, Efq. Several other New Editions and New Works will be found in the Catalogue, and the Reports in the various Courts noted up to the commencement of the present year. To make this Catalogue a useful compendium of Legal Bibliography, the compiler has bestowed great labour in preparing a corrected and enlarged Lift of Abbreviations used in references to Law Books, Reports, &c. (vide page 69), which, with the Chronological Lift at page 58, forms the most complete Catalogue of Law Reports in the United Kingdom that has yet been printed. The Lift of Foreign Works at page 85 will be found to contain many of intereft and utility to the Jurist, and to Practitioners in Foreign and Colonial Courts of Judicature. R. W.

Just Published. In 8vo, price 12s. cloth. "Mr. Phillips's work is at once an able law-book, and a lucid treatise, in a popular form, on the rights of authors and artists. The wants and interests of the legal practitioners are consulted by a careful collection and discussion of all the authorities, while the non-professional reader will find in the book a well-written and perfectly intelligible statement of the law upon the matter of which it treats."-Jurist, January 9th, 1864. "Mr. Phillips has shewn, not only great diligence in collecting cases bearing upon the various topics which he has treated, but considerable judgment in the manner in which he has dealt with them. He has spared no pains to make his work reliable as a legal text-book, and at the same time equally useful to publishers, authors, artists, and other persons who are interested in works of literature, art, or design. In a word, such a book has long been wanted, and Mr. Phillips has given abundant proof of his ability to meet the desideratum."-Solicitors' Jaurnal, Nov. 14, 1863. "Mr. Phillips has fully and clearly stated the law, and he has cited the cases decided upon it with sufficient amplitude to make them perfectly intelligible, without the necessity for reference to the Reports. It will be valuable not to the lawyer alone, but to the author and publisher, who will find it a trustworthy, intelligent, and intelllgible adviser on the many questions that are continually arising in their vocations."-Law Times, Dec. 12, 1863.
