LAW AND POLITICAL SCIENCE-continued. Aldred (P. F.) B.C.L. ELEMENTARY QUESTIONS ON THE LAW OF PROPERTY, REAL AND PERSONAL. Supplemented by Advanced Questions on the Law of Contracts. With Copious References throughout. By PHILIP Foster Aldred, B.C.L., Hertford College, Oxford. Cr. 8vo. 3s. 6d. ; interleaved with writing paper, 4s. 6d. THE UNDERGRADUATE'S JOURNAL. "This book contains questions on Real and Personal Property, primarily intended, as the author informs us, for passmen, though numerous honour questions have been also inserted. The value of such a compendium of questions, as a means of measuring the progress and capacity of the student, will be best appreciated by the student himself, who has probably found himself utterly at a loss to obtain what he wants from the wide range of an ordinary Examination Paper. The references annexed to each question, and which are intended to indicate where full information on the subject may be found, are most complete, as may perhaps be inferred when we state that they fall very little short of 5000 in number. There are, besides, various lists, two indices, one of terms, the other of subjects, and in fact nothing has been spared to render this small volume as complete as possible. The questions themselves have been arranged on the plan of Stephen's Commentaries, and will be found especially useful in conjunction with that work for the Pass School. But the advanced papers on the law of contracts will prove of the greatest service to honour men and those reading for the Bar examination. Mr. Aldred promises us a Lexicon of Real Property Law, and the best we can wish it is that it may prove to be as great an assistance to the law student as the volume now before us.'-Nov. 2, 1876. THE LAW TIMES. 'Contains a great deal that is very suggestive, and will be found useful by the student in directing his reading. There are copious references to authorities where the answers to the questions will be found.'Oct. 28, 1876. THE LAW JOURNAL. 'Candidates for the intermediate and final examinations of the Incorporated Law Society may refer with advantage to a collection of questions on the "Law of Real and Personal Property," edited by Mr. Philip Foster Aldred.'-Nov. 11, 1876. THE SHEFFIELD AND ROTHERHAM INDEPENDENT. The author has compiled a very useful handbook for the legal student.'-Nov. 2, 1876. THE SHEFFIELD POST. 'In offering this little work to the public the author has conferred a great boon, not only on the university law students, for whom it is evidently intended, but also on that much larger community of young men who are preparing for practical branches of the legal profession. are speaking now more particularly of those who are training to become solicitors, and who have to pass the examination of the Incorporated Law Society before being admitted to practise. Mr. Aldred, in We preparing a volume of questions and answers for the use of students, has set about his work on an entirely new plan. Instead of answering the questions directly, he indicates by copious references where full and complete information on the various subjects may be found; thus leading the student rather to work out his knowledge for himself than to be content with gathering the isolated fragments, which in the old system could but be given in the shape of printed answers to the questions put. .The work is replete with indexes, notes, and references, including tables of cases and statutes cited and a list of maxims quoted. Besides the questions on the laws of property, there are added some special questions on the law of contracts, and these too will no doubt prove eminently useful. It combines indeed multum in parvo: and, as most of the questions have been collected from previous examination papers, they will prove a sure means of testing the intending candidate as to the progress and accuracy of his work. That great care and skill has been required for the preparation of the book for public use by the compiler cannot be doubted. The questions are useful, practical, sensible, and clearly put, the various subjects being arranged in chapters under different headings.'-Nov. 4, 1876. (For Specimen see page 16.)

'As this compilation is primarily intended for the use of candidates for the Oxford and Cambridge examinations, statutes treating of Practice and Procedure are more cursorily dealt with than those affecting the principles of Real Property Harvey (W.

It is nevertheless hoped that such an arrangement of the Acts as is herein contained will be found of assistance to Law Students in general, inducing them to refer habitually to the Statute Book as the best means of acquiring a thorough knowledge of Real Property Law.'

The object of this Series is to furnish Exercises and Test Papers to Candidates preparing for the various Public Examinations at Oxford. In preparing the New Volumes and New Editions regard has been had to the requirements of the Public Schools examined under the new regulations of the Oxford and Cambridge Schools Examination Board. The Questions are mostly selected from Papers which have been set in the different Schools. Classical. Part I. QUESTIONS AND EXERCISES FOR MATRICULATION AND RESPONSIONS.

Adapted to the Oxford and Cambridge School Certificate and First Public Examinations. Crown 8vo. cloth, 3s. 6d. FROM THE PREFACE. "This volume is compiled on the same plan as Part I., but designed for more advanced students. The easier questions in higher grammar are intended for the use of competitors in the Schools Examinations and for candidates for Classical Scholarships. The more difficult questions in the same subject, and the questions in comparative philology, are intended for the latter and for candidates for Honour Moderations. It is hoped and believed that they will also be found of use in reading for Classical Honours at Cambridge. 'Attention is invited to the "Unseen Passages for Translation in Greek and Latin Prose and Verse," which may go some way to supply a want that has been felt in many of our public schools. The selection has been made with care from the less read classical authors, and in most instances the easier pieces come first, although it was found impossible to arrange them precisely in the order of difficulty.'

'The Second Edition has been extended so as to meet the requirements of the First Public Examination and of the Oxford and Cambridge Local and Certificate Examinations.

"This Synopsis of the Four Books of Livy (xxi-xxiv.) is intended to be an assistant to the student in his work, and not a substitute for it; and on this account it has been thought advisable rather to point out those passages which require more careful attention on the part of the student, than to translate them for him.'
