BY JAMES MUIEHEAD, PROFESSOR OF ROMAN LAW IN THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH, ' A thoroughly careful and scholarly work, aiming at the right sort of ends, and successfully accomplishing them. The Editor lias taken in its full and simple sense tin- duty of editing a classical text of Roman Law, and has performed it with constant diligence, and with judgment seldom at fault.'—Saturday Review. ' The addition referred to is called a Digest, and is neither more nor less than a very complete treatise on the classical jurisprudence, under headings arranged in alphabetical order, and with special reference to the text of the work. The framing of such a com- pendium must have been a task involving much irksome labour. The result is, so far as we are aware, unique. It will be invaluable to the student of civil law.'—Journal of Jurisprudence. 1 A most valuable contribution to the study of Roman law. ... A work like this should be peculiarly acceptable to all students of our race and country whose aim is to acquire a practical grasp of legal ideas.'—Scotsman. ' Professor Muirhead has exhibited great research and accomplished juridical scholar- ship. The notes are elaborate; and an admirable digest more than supplies the place of au index, and saves much labour to the reader.'—Daily Review. Just published, in demy 8vo, Third Edition, pice 16s., BY JOHN P. COLDSTREAM, W.S. 'It is not too much to say that this is the clearest, most condensed, and most practically useful manual of the Procedure of the highest Scotch Court that has appeared. . . . Throughout the text is illustrated by reference to cases, and the volume is enriched by careful indices of cases and contents. . . . To the judges, the advocatt s, and especially to the law agents, and to some extent even to the general public interested in litigation, the treatise is indispensable, and must supersede all others.'—Daily Rev:< w. ' Evidently been written with the view of supplying students as well as practitioners with some idea of the business of the Supreme Courts and the forms of procedure m use therein. . . . Every step in process, and every form in practice, is touched upon, its nature and object being explained in a short and business-like manner. . . . The work supplies, within reasonable limits, an amount of information to which the professional man as well as the student will find himself frequently indebted.'— Courant. 'Mr Coldstream's very clear, condensed, and specific manual will be invaluablei to practitioners, and we should think that it would be a most, useful vade mecum to the Edinburgh agent also. There is no unnecessary disquisition in the text. 1 he collection of Procedure Statutes and Acts of Sederunt is complete, and there is a good index.— Glasgow Herald. , . , 'A book of value to the practitioner. ... It seems to afford the necessary infoima-, tion in all ordinary actions.'— Journal of Jwispudence.
