"Now for the Laws of England (if I shall speak my opinion of them without "partiality either to my profession or country), for the matter and nature of "them, I hold them wise, just and moderate laws: they give to God, they give to "Casar, they give to the subject what appertaineth. It is true they are as mixt "as our language, compounded of British, Saxon, Danish, Norman customs. "And surely as our language is thereby so much the richer, so our laws are like. "wise by that mixture the more complete."-LORD BACON. LONDON: 7, FLEET STREET, E. C. 1872. STEPHEN'S BLACKSTONE.-Seventh Edition. MR.

THE LAW relating to FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCES under the Statutes of Elizabeth and the Bankrupt Acts; with Remarks on the Law relating to Bills of Sale. By ARTHUR JOSEPH HUNT, of the Inner Temple, Esq., Barrister at Law, Author of "A Treatise on the Law relating to Boundaries, Fences and Foreshores." Post 8vo, 9s. cloth. "This work is calculated to be of some service to the profession. The subject is of never-failing recurrence, and the decisions are by no means easy to reconcile and to arrange; and yet each decision, without any exception that we know of, is an authority in itself. Mr. Hunt has brought to bear upon the subject a clearness of statement, an orderliness of arrangement and a subtlety of logical acuteness which carry him far towards a complete systematization of all the cases. Neither has his industry been lacking the cases that have arisen under "The Bankruptcy Act, 1869," and under the Bills of Sale Act, have been carefully and completely noted up and disposed by him in their appropriate places. The index also is both accurate and careful, and secures much facility of reference to the various matters which are the subjects of the work."-Law Magazine. "Though smaller in size, Mr. Hunt's book deals with fraudulent conveyances under the Bankruptcy Acts, a subject which Mr. May in his work left almost untouched, although his book has the undoubted merit of being the first to break fresh ground in treating fraudu lent conveyances in a separate volume. In reviewing that book last year we took occasion, while praising the industry and care with which it was compiled, to remark on the obscurity of its style. In this respect its younger rival has considerable advantage. Mr. Hunt's book is as readable as a treatise on so technical a subject can well be made. Mr. Hunt's arrangement of his materials follows an orderly and intelligible plan. The index is apparently carefully prepared, and the table of cases shows that none of the recent cases have been overlooked. Mr. Hunt has produced a really useful book unencumbered by useless matter, which deserves great success as a manual of the law of fraudulent dispositions of property."-Law Journal. "The author has collected with industry and care the authorities bearing on the question he has undertaken to deal with. The matter is conveniently broken up, and the reader is assisted by a good index."-Solicitors' Journal. "The law relating to fraudulent conveyances by Arthur Joseph Hunt includes the most recent cases under the new Bankrupt Act, and under the Bills of Sale Act."-Times. |
