And a Supplement, containing Additional Observations on Bills of Exception. By the Right Hon. William Adam, Lord Chief Commissioner. In One Volume Octavo, price 16s. boards. This volume is an invaluable manual for the Profession in the North ; nor ought the fastidi- ousness of the English Lawyer despise the many minute rules and directions which are scattered through its pages. In such a case, minuteness becomes a virtue, and a rich assemblage of elemen- tary propositions can alone form a stable and soluiground-work for the erection of the future edifice. —Quarterly Review, Dec. 1836, No. CXIV. Much valuable instruction on the mode of pleading for an issue, will be'found in a Treatise on the Formation of Issues, and the whole subject of Trial by Jury, which has been lately published by the eminent person under whose wise, and cautious, ?and most judicious superintendence, Jury Trial has been introduced in Scotland.—Professor BeWs Illustrations of the Law of Scotland. The publication will do you great honour, and the Scotch great good —I have now given full consideration to your papers on New Trials,'Bills of Exceptions, and SpeciaPCases—they will be of much service to the lieges in Scotland.—From the Earl of Eldon. I have read your Treatise on New Trials attentively, and I am decidedly of opinion there is not a word or expression in which I do not cordially agree. I.think it will be most beneficial both to the Bench and the Bar iir Scotland. I also think it wouid not be amiss if some of us, on this side of the Tweed, were to give it an^attentive perusal.—From Sir Samuel^Shepherd. $• POOR LAWS OP SCOTLAND- 4* REMARKS on the POOR LAWS, and the Method of Providing for the POOR 4* in SCOTLAND. By David Monypexny,^Esij. of Pitrailly,vformerly one of the Senators of 4 the College of Justice. In one vol- 8vo.; Price 12s. bds. Second Edition, greatly enlarged. ^ A valuable work on the Poor Laws.—Edinburgh Review, No. CXX. ^ This work would be at any time valuable, but, at the present crisis, its utility is immeasureably ^T increased by its seasonable publication. : The reader will readily excuse us if we omit all attempts at v* eulogizing this very able exposition. It'does the highest credit, to the judgment, the penetration, and ►5$t* the heart of the author, and it forms a most important and edifying lesson for both England and .A, Ireland, in case the Poor Laws are introduced into the latter country.—Monthly Review. a The title of this able work is one of two much humility. It is a complete and lucid history of J^ the subject. After all the facts have been enumerated the author proceeds to argument, and we y* think satisfactorily proves the right of the actually destitute to relief, on the one hand, and the right *5| >J&* also, on the other, to make that relief as sparing as possible, in order to throw every one who can ex.. *jl ^ ert himself on his own resources. Scotland ought to be grateful to Mr. Monypenny for this work, j jT and England may cull advantage from the facts that are so distinctly setfortb.—Metropolitan Mag. j $* *3
