QUERIES.

Do you get to see LEGAL BIBLIOGRAPHY every quarter? We send it gratuitously to all book-buyers who ask for it. It gives lists of all new law books as published, together with other interesting matter.

Have you seen our circular regarding ENGLISH RULING CASES WITH AMERICAN NOTES, illustrated (the circular, not the set) with full-paged portraits of fifteen eminent English judges? We do not send it broadcast, but will be glad to send it without charge to anyone who is seriously considering the purchase of E. R. C.

Do you take THE GREEN BAG? If not, you miss a great deal of entertainment and stimulus. As you know, it is the only magazine which entirely eschews the practical and devotes itself to the aesthetic in the law. Four dollars a year brings to you every month its contribution of recreative professional reading. Thirty-five dollars will put on your shelves a handsome set of its fourteen bound volumes, an encyclopaedia of legal history, biography, imagination, humor and portraiture.

HIS book is the most complete treatise on the law of Private Corporations contained in one volume. Its accuracy, clearness and analytical arrangement have given it a unique reputation with Law Schools and the Profession.

It is based upon an analysis of the conception of a corporation, and throughout follows the lines of this fundamental analysis.

The arrangement of topics is that prescribed by the manner in which controversies relating to corporate enterprises come before the courts for adjudication.

No labor has been spared in the preparation of this edition. The entire range of Federal and State Reports for the last four years has been carefully gone through. The cases have been read and compared. More than eight hundred new cases have been incorporated, and it is thought that no case of any general bearing has been omitted. The text has been harmonized with the present state of the law and the latest decisions. The book, with prefaces, index and table of cases, contains a thousand pages.

TWO OF OUR LATEST IMPORTANT BOOKS

NEW FOURTH EDITION OF THE GREAT AUTHORITY ON BANKING

MORSE ON

LAW

BANKS AND BANKING

(From the Central Law Journal, St. Louis)

"From its first appearance, Mr. Morse's Law of Banks and Banking has steadily increased in favor. There is no book on the subject quoted so frequently, or with so great a measure of approval, by bench and bar. Nearly every court of last resort in the country, from the Supreme Court of the United States down, has referred to it as the highest authority in its department.

"It is generally recognized by the bar of the country, and constantly cited by the courts as the leading authority on the law of banks and banking. The revising editor, Mr. Frank Parsons, in speaking of the new cases added, says: Many cases specifically approve and reaffirm the rules and principles cited from the text, and in only one case that has come under our observation did the court reject the rule stated in the text.' This is a remarkable showing, but that is the test of a good law book.

"Mr. Morse's work will long remain the highest and most accessible authority on all questions relating to the subject of banks and banking." 2 Vols. Octavo $12.00 Net

THIRD IMPRESSION OF A TIMELY BOOK

NOYES ON

Intercorporate Relations

(From the Columbia Law Review)

"Judge Noyes' book is marked throughout by logical analysis, clear reasoning and scholarly preparation. The noteworthy feature of the book, which distinguishes it from ordinary text books of law, is the accuracy with which it adheres to a logical plan and a high standard of clearness and conciseness. It is to be commended, also, for the care and discrimination and completeness with which it gathers and sets forth the significant decisions of the courts, and the constitutional and statutory provisions of our many different jurisdictions relating to this important and unsettled branch of the law By his strict attention to the subject he has chosen to treat by his analysis, and accurate definition, and deeply interesting exposition of the rights of corporations to join forces, of the restraints and limitations imposed by law upon such joinder and of the consequences that follow from it.' 1 volume Octavo $6.00 net
