DARBY and BOSANQUET

F. A. BOSANQUET, K.C., and J. R. V. MARCHANT, Barrister-at-Law.

"Twenty-six years have elapsed since the appearance of Darby and Bosanquet's Treatise on the Statutes of Limitations. During this period that work has held the field, no other very satisfactory dissertation on the subject of it having been produced. The result of this delay in the preparation of a second edition has been to compel the practitioner to consult special handbooks in all cases in which the law since 1867 has been altered by statute or by decision. And in the interval since that date at least two important Acts of Parliament-the Real Property Limitation Act of 1874, and the Trustee Act, 1888-and a mass of Judicial opinion, have combined to alter, modify, or settle many points relating to the limitation of actions. In the meantime, Mr. Darby has died, and Mr. Marchant has become the colleague of Mr. Bosanquet. The legal profession is to be congratulated upon the possession of a work which, after a careful examination of its statements and comments upon difficult questions, appears to us to supply a long-felt want the want of a reliable guide to a very intricate and far-reaching branch of English jurisprudence. The plan of the new edition follows substantially that of its predecessor, but we are not surprised that, having regard to the causes already mentioned, it has become necessary, as the authors state, to re-write the entire book."-Law Quarterly Review.

Of the Middle Temple, Barrister-at-Law; LL.B. London University; B.A., late Scholar and Student of Trinity College, Dublin; Exhibitioner in Real Property and Equity; Holder of the First Certificate of Honour, Michaelmas, 1869; Joint Author of Clerke and Brett's Conveyancing Acts; Author of Brett's Bankruptcy Act, 1883, and of Leading Cases in Modern Equity; and late Lecturer in Equity to the Incorporated Law Society.

The main idea of this book is to bring into special prominence the present and living law, and only to deal with past law, or that which is practically obsolete, so far as it is necessary to enable the reader to understand the present.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"We are glad to observe in the present edition the marks of careful revision.... It is a comprehensive outline of existing English law, contained in a marvellously small compass, well arranged, and so contrived by the insertion of illustrative cases and extracts, as to be interesting instead of repulsive to the student. On some subjects a list of leading recent cases is added, the effect of them being shortly stated. The account of the Settled Land Acts, at pp. 145-156, may be commended as a very good piece of exposition. The index has been improved, and a word must be said as to the attractive type and convenient size of the volumes."-Solicitors' Journal.

"The success which we predicted for this book on its first appearance, only a year ago, seems to be now fully assured, for

we already have before us a second edition. . . . Mr. Brett is singularly fortunate in being called upon so soon to bring out a new edition, because he has thus been afforded an opportunity of availing himself of the suggestions of his friends, and the criticism of his reviewers, by correcting the errors which were inevitable in a first edition, and also of incorporating the numerous Acts which have, since the publication of his first edition, been placed upon the statute-book by an exceedingly active legislature.”— Law Journal.

"The compilation has been done with care, and the new edition is up to date, and is altered to include the legislation of last session.”— Law Notes.

Barrister-at-Law.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"In spite of rivals, Robson's Law and Practice in Bankruptcy-an excellent treatise, we always thought-maintains its position in lega literature. It has now entered its seventh edition. The sixth edition was published before the Act of 1887, and consequently that Act and the Act of 1890 have had to be dealt with. The chapter on Bills of Sale is now put at the end of the volume. Beyond this there are no changes. The judicial decisions of recent years are duly noted, and Robson on Bankruptcy remains an efficient and up-to-date text-book."-Law Times.

"This standard work on bankruptcy has reached another edition, the author wisely considering that, in consequence of the many important cases recently decided and the issue of the new rules, a new edition was desirable. We compliment the learned author on the wisdom of keeping his work well up to date. Of this edition we may fairly say, as of others, no practitioner with bankruptcy work should be without it; and as long as the author pursues the wise course of issuing fresh editions well up to date, we shall be able to accord future editions the same praise."-Law Notes.
