By JAMES PATERSON, M.A., BARRISTER-AT-LAW, AUTHOR OF 1 A COMPENDIUM OF ENGLISH AND SCOTCH LAW, STATING THEIR DIFFERENCES,’ ETC. ETC. 1 These volumes may be relied upon for a particularly full and careful account of ail the Appeal Oases during the period which they embrace. It is, indeed, one of the most valuable contributions to the legal literature of Scotland of recent years.’—Scotsman. * 'Phe name of Mr. Paterson is itself a guarantee that the work is well done ; nothing seems to have been left out that could in any way tend to the elucidation of the cases, or that would make reference to them more easy. The reports are a valuable addition to the case-law of our country, and we are sure that before long every practising lawyer will have them at his hand.’—Journal of Jurisprudence.

We have not by any means exhausted the different matters dealt with by Mr. Irons in his manual, but we have given enough to show the wide sweep and importance of the volume. It is not too much to say that wo have rarely met a more satisfactory or seasonable bit of work. It testifies to admirable skill in bringing scattered and, at times, rather dim lights to a clear focus; it also testifies to an extensive knowledge of a branch of law which is quite surprising. We commend the work to all who have, in whatever respect, to do with police law and practice.’—Daily Review.
