A TREATISE ON THE LAW OF EVIDENCE, as administered in England and Ireland; with Illustrations from the American and other Foreign Laws. PITT TAYLOR, Esq., of the Middle Temple, Barrister-at-Law. 1848. "A writer who undertakes, even with the aid of Dr. Greenleaf, to produce a more readable work than Mr. Phillipps's, or a more scientific work than Mr. Starkie's, as originally written, or a more useful book of reference for the mere practitioner than Mr. Roscoe's, as edited by Mr. Smirke, undertakes no trifling matter. But Mr. Taylor appears to have formed no undue estimate of his own powers; and though it is not much our custom to go into practical details, we will rapidly indicate the parts which, independently of his general merits, fully entitle him, in our opinion, to the credit of having made a highly useful contribution to our practical legal literature."--Law Review, May, 1848. "The work is divided into three parts: the first part treating on the Nature and Principles of Evidence; the second, on the Rules which govern the Production of Testimony; and the third, on the Instruments of Evidence. Under these heads nearly the whole law relating to evidence is comprised. Mr. Taylor has exhibited great assiduity and research in collecting all the statutes and authorities on the subject, and is entitled to much praise for the judicious manner in which he has disposed of his materials. He has, we think, executed his task in a very creditable manner, and produced a work which will be found to be a useful and valuable contribution to a most important branch of our law."-Law Magazine, May, 1848. "We owe an apology to the author of this By JOHN work for having delayed so long that favourable notice of it which its merits require. One reason of that delay, however, was a wish to have sufficient time to look into a work of so much importance before committing ourselves to a recommendation of it; and having now enjoyed that opportunity, we have no hesitation in saying, that, in our opinion, Mr. Taylor has made a valuable addition to our legal literature. He has presented the profession with an elaborate, well-arranged, and, as far as we have been able to ascertain, accurate work, on a subject of great practical importance-the Law of Evidence-which may be said to have been almost entirely remodelled in England within the last few years, and certainly placed upon at once sounder and wider foundations than it has.ever heretofore rested "We heartily congratulate Mr. Taylor on the result of his labours, as they are highly creditable to himself, evincing the mastery of a very difficult branch of law, and calculated to afford valuable assistance to all branches of the profession."-Legal Observer, May, 1848. "None who are preparing for the office of an advocate should omit to make Mr. Taylor's Durwork a portion of his course of reading. ing the five years that we have been keeping this record of the progress of legal literature, our attention has been directed to no more valuable contribution to it than that now before us."-Law Times, April 22, 1848.

PLATT ON LEASES. 5 A TREATISE ON THE LAW OF LEASES, WITH A COPIOUS APPENDIX OF FORMS AND PRECEDENTS, adapted to the Practice of the present day. By THOMAS PLATT, Esq., of Lincoln's Inn, Barrister-at-Law; Author of a Practical Treatise on the Law of Covenants. 1847. "The possession of these volumes, therefore, may be well urged, both upon the profession and the public. To the library of the landlord they constitute a desirable acquisition; to that of the lawyer they are a necessity; and, even at the peril of adding to its bulk, or of displacing some well thumbed edition of Woodfall or Gilbert on Leases, we would strongly recommend them to the profession. In conclusion, therefore, we would express our hearty approval of the volumes now before us, and congratulate the author on the successful termination of those labours, which, having been protracted like those of Alcmena, have terminated in the birth of a Hercules."-The Times, Dec. 26, 1848. "Mr. Platt has presented the profession with a full and complete treatise of the whole law and practice relating to leases, accompanied by an ample collection of precedents; and we are glad that the work has fallen into such competent hands, equally in regard to practical experience and professional learning."-Legal Ob server. "Mr. Platt's style is singularly perspicuous. He expresses himself clearly, as men do who have clear ideas of the subject on which they are engaged. He has spared no labour in his researches among the reports for every case that could illustrate his argument; and when he has occasion to extract a principle from a number of seemingly conflicting cases, he does it with an ability that can be appreciated only by those who have tried and proved the difficulty of this highest and rarest attainment of a legal writer."-Law Times. "The propositions of law are clear and precise, well arranged, and supported by full statements of the cases and authorities upon which they are founded. The Appendix of Precedents is excellent. There are leases and parts of leases, clauses, and powers of leasing, which seem to supply all of precedent and form which the most varied practice can require."-Daily News. "This book consists of two large volumes, and is amply entitled to rank as a standard work on the useful and important subject of which it treats."-Law Magazine. Royal 8vo.-Price 10s. 6d. boards.

"The design of this work, as its title imports, is to bring the narratives of these witnesses to the tests usually applied to the evidence of other transactions in Courts of Law, as well documentary as oral, in order to ascertain what degree of credit they would be entitled to receive in human tribunals. The principles of the Law of Evidence applicable to such subjects, are stated in a preliminary discourse, in which also the characters and situation of the Evangelists, their motives of conduct, and the nature and probability of their narratives and assertions are examined. The four Gospels are ex hibited in parallel columns, arranged after the order of Archbishop Newcome's Harmony, as recently corrected and published by Professor Robinson. In the Appendix is contained a legal account of the two trials of Jesus, before the Sanhedrim and Pilate; and a translation of the Jewish account of those transactions, given by M. Salvador, a learned Jew, in his Histoire des Institutions de Moïse et du Peuple Hébreu. The work is inscribed to the members of the legal profession; but it will be found equally interesting to clergymen, and to all others who may be disposed to examine the subject." 12mo.
