"An exceptionally good exposition and criticism. The plan is well conceived and consistently carried out; the statement is clear, concise, accurate and fresh. ....The author and the publisher will certainly find trustworthy guidance, and the general public an interesting history, and an impartial examination of an important question....Mr Scrutton's lucid presentation and vigorous handling of the essential points of the subject invest his work with a distinct practical merit that deserves recognition."-Spectator, July 5, 1884. "To write a new treatise upon the fruitful subject of copyright law, which is not rendered altogether superfluous by the prior occupation of the ground by such excellent authorities as Drone, Phillips and Copinger, is no very easy task. Mr Scrutton has achieved this feat...Mr Scrutton furnishes an exposition of the present state of our law which is supported by abundant references to statutes and cases, and generally trustworthy."-Athenæum, Oct. 18, 1884. The chapter on the 'History of the English Law of Copyright' is exceedingly well written. The examination of the general principles of each kind of copyright is thoughtful, independent, and well expressed, and shows a complete grasp of the subject...The index is as good as it could be."-Solicitors' Journal, Dec. 15, 1883. "The Copyright lawyer will certainly find suggestive matter in Prof. Scrutton's exposition of the principles of his subject, and he ought at least to be interested in his animated sketch of the history of the legislation which has developed if not created it...For a clear and handy exposition of the provisions of the laws of this and other countries on the subject, readers are much indebted to the author. ...Eminently readable and suggestive."-Scotsman, April 15, 1884. "Mr Scrutton's arrangement is good in this respect, he dominates the cases, and makes them subservient to his statement of the law. He gets from them and the statutes a clear idea of legal principles, which he expresses with accuracy...His volume is written scientifically with a view to set forth the principles of the law distinctly and clearly."-Law Times, Dec. 15, 1883. "The most able and in some respects the most original book of its kind... His exposition of the present law is lucid and perspicuous...As a handy and most recent digest of the law the book is serviceable alike to authors and publishers...Both as a digest and commentary Mr Scrutton's work is of the greatest value."-Bookseller, Feb. 2, 1884. "Mr Scrutton has succeeded in writing a book which, while it will be a trusty guide for the profession, will also be of service to publishers, authors, artists and others interested in the law of copyright...a very clear and careful account of the existing state of the law with regard to copyright."-Tablet, March 1, 1884. "Mr Scrutton has produced a book which we expect to see run through many editions...We predict that it will be a standard authority on the laws of literary property...an elaborate Index, not the least meritorious part of a most meritorious work."-Literary World. "A learned book, and one that augurs well for the future success of its author."-Law Journal, Jan. 19, 1884. BY THE SAME AUTHOR. THE INFLUENCE OF THE ROMAN LAW ON THE LAW OF ENGLAND; being the YORKE PRIZE ESSAY of the University of Cambridge for the Year 1884. Price 10s. 6d. CAMBRIDGE: AT THE UNIVERSITY PRESS. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. "A very good essay, legal work of just the kind that a learned University should promote by its prizes....Mr Scrutton has collected and well arranged much valuable material that has hitherto lain scattered about in divers books ancient and modern some of which are not very accessible. He has written what we believe to be the best essay on this subject, and we do not mean to make this praise trifling by adding that it is the only book known to us which deals with that subject as a whole. It will be a useful guide to the authorities for any who are investigating the history of our law, while the author's own opinions are for the most part sound and sober, and are clearly and modestly stated....The main and best part of the work is the careful discussion of Bracton's Romanism."-Law Quarterly Review, Jan. 1886. "A serious attempt to deal with a subject so arduous and so little profitable in immediate results....The most striking part of the present volume is the very careful examination of Bracton's indebtedness to Roman Law.... The essay is a most conscientious and successful piece of work."-Spectator, April 24, 1886. "This learned little work is a great deal above the average of University Prize Essays....There is no part of the book without interest and instruction.... The freshest chapter is the one devoted to Bracton."-Law Times, Nov. 14, 1885. "Mr Scrutton has here contributed a very interesting chapter to the history of English Law....His inquiries have been extended and careful: he writes in a clear, compact and effective style; and he is very conscientious in the record of his authorities. The book is marked by learning and genius, and is well worthy of attention from law students.”—British Quarterly Review, April, 1886. "This is the nearest approach to an exhaustive treatise on the subject we have yet seen....The author has collated a large library, and laid an excellent basis for the history of Roman Law in England."-Literary World, Nov. 1885.

THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, &c.

"Students of the Bible should be particu larly grateful (to the Cambridge University Press) for having produced, with the able assistance of Dr Scrivener, a complete critical edition of the Authorized Version of the English Bible, an edition such as, to use the words of the Editor, 'would have been executed long ago had this version been nothing more than the greatest and best known of English clas sics. Falling at a time when the formal revision of this version has been undertaken by a distinguished company of scholars and divines, the publication of this edition must be considered most opportune." From the Athenæum. im Syndics of the Cambridge University Press, an edition of the English Bible, according to the text of 1611, revised by a comparison with later issues on principles stated by him in his Introduction. Here he enters at length into the history of the chief editions of the version, and of such features as the marginal notes, the use of italic type, and the changes of orthography, as well as into the most interesting question as to the original texts from which our translation is produced." From the Methodist Recorder. "This noble quarto of over 1300 pages is in every respect worthy of editor and publishers alike. The name of the Cambridge University Press is guarantee enough for its perfection in outward form, the name of the editor is equal guarantee for the worth and accuracy of its Without question, it is the best Paragraph Bible ever published, and its reduced price of a guinea brings it within reach of a large number of students." contents. From the London Quarterly Review. "The work is worthy in every respect of the editor's fame, and of the Cambridge University Press. The noble English Version, to which Our country and religion owe so much, was probably never presented before in so perfect a form." "Apart from its religious importance, the English Bible has the glory, which but few sister versions indeed can claim, of being the chief classic of the language, of having, in conjunction with Shakspeare, and in an measurable degree more than he, fixed the language beyond any possibility of important change. Thus the recent contributions to the literature of the subject, by such workers as Mr Francis Fry and Canon Westcott, appeal to a wide range of sympathies; and to these may now be added Dr Scrivener, well known for his labours in the cause of the Greek Testament criticisin, who has brought out, for the THE CAMBRIDGE PARAGRAPH BIBLE. STUDENT's EDITION, on good writing paper, with one column of print and wide margin to each page for MS. notes.
