PUBLICATIONS OF

M. TULLII CICERONIS DE NATURA DEORUM Libri Tres, with Introduction and Commentary by JOSEPH B. MAYOR, M.A., Professor of Classical Literature at King's College, London, formerly Fellow and Tutor of St John's College, Cambridge, together with a new collation of several of the English MSS. by J. H. SWAINSON, M.A., formerly Fellow of Trinity Coll., Čambridge. Vol. I. Demy 8vo. IOS. 6d.

M. T. CICERONIS DE OFFICIIS LIBRI TRES, with Marginal Analysis, an English Commentary, and copious Indices, by H. A. HOLDEN, LL.D. Head Master of Ipswich School, late Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, Classical Examiner to the University of London. Third Edition. Revised and considerably enlarged.

Crown Octavo. 9s.

"Dr Holden truly states that 'Text, Analysis, and Commentary in this third edi tion have been again subjected to a thorough revision.' It is now certainly the best edition extant. A sufficient apparatus of various readings is placed under the text, and a very careful summary in the margin. The Introduction (after Heine) and notes leave nothing to be desired in point of fulness, accuracy, and neatness; the typographical execution will satisfy the most fastidious eye. A careful

index of twenty-four pages makes it easy to use the book as a storehouse of information on points of grammar, history, and philosophy.... This edition of the Offices, Mr Reid's Academics, Lælius, and Cato, with the forthcoming editions of the De Finibus and the De Natura Deorum will do much to maintain the study of Cicero's philosophy in Roger Ascham's university."- Notes and Queries.

MATHEMATICS, PHYSICAL SCIENCE, &c.

THE ELECTRICAL RESEARCHES OF THE HONOURABLE HENRY CAVENDISH, F.R.S. Written between 1771 and 1781, Edited from the original manuscripts in the possession of the Duke of Devonshire, K. G., by J. CLERK MAXWELL, F.R.S. Demy 8vo. cloth.

"This work, which derives a melancholy interest from the lamented death of the editor following so closely upon its publication, is a valuable addition to the history of electrical research.... The papers themselves are most carefully reproduced, with fac-similes of the author's sketches of experimental apparatus.

Every department of editorial duty appears to have been most conscientiously performed; and it must have been no small

satisfaction to Prof. Maxwell to see this goodly volume completed before his life's work was done."-Athenæum.

"Few men have made such important discoveries in such different branches of Natural Philosophy as Cavendish... The book before us shews that he was in addition the discoverer of some of the most important of the laws of electricity."-Cambridge Review.

A TREATISE ON NATURAL PHILOSOPHY. By Sir W. THOMSON, LL.D., D.C.L., F.R.S., Professor of Natural Philosophy in the University of Glasgow, and P. G. TAIT, M.A., Professor of Natural Philosophy in the University of Edinburgh. Vol. I. Part I. 16s.

"In this, the second edition, we notice a large amount of new matter, the importance of which is such that any opinion which we

could form within the time at our disposal would be utterly inadequate."-Nature.

ELEMENTS OF NATURAL PHILOSOPHY.

By Professors Sir W. THOMSON and P. G. TAIT. Part I. 8vo. cloth, Second Edition. 95.

"This work is designed especially for the use of schools and junior classes in the Uni versities, the mathematical methods being limited almost without exception to those of the most elementary geometry, algebra, and

trigonometry. Tiros in Natural Philosophy cannot be better directed than by being told to give their diligent attention to an intelligent digestion of the contents of this excellent vade mecum.”—Iron.

THE ANALYTICAL THEORY OF HEAT, By JOSEPH FOURIER. Translated, with Notes, by A. FREEMAN, M.A. Fellow of St John's College, Cambridge. Demy Octavo. 16s.

"Fourier's treatise is one of the very few scientific books which can never be rendered antiquated by the progress of science. It is not only the first and the greatest book on the physical subject of the conduction of Heat, but in every Chapter new views are opened up into vast fields of mathematical speculation."

"Whatever text-books may be written, giving, perhaps, more succinct proofs of Fourier's different equations, Fourier himself will in all time coming retain his unique prerogative of being the guide of his reader into regions inaccessible to meaner men, however expert."-Extract from letter of Professor Clerk Maxwell.

"It is time that Fourier's masterpiece, The Analytical Theory of Heat, translated by Mr Alex. Freeman, should be introduced to those English students of Mathe

is a model of mathematical reasoning applied
to physical phenomena, and is remarkable for
the ingenuity of the analytical process em-
ployed by the author.".
Contemporary
Review, October, 1878.

"There cannot be two opinions as to the value and importance of the Théorie de la Chaleur. It has been called 'an exquisite mathematical poem,' not once but many times, independently, by mathematicians of different schools. Many of the very greatest of modern mathematicians regard it, justly, as the key which first opened to them the treasurehouse of mathematical physics. It is still the text-book of Heat Conduction, and there seems little present prospect of its being superseded, though it is already more than half a century old."-Nature.

A SELECTION OF THE STATE TRIALS. By J. W. WILLIS-BUND, M.A., LL.B., Barrister-at-Law, Professor of Constitutional Law and History, University College, London. Vol. I. Trials for Treason (1327-1660). Crown 8vo. cloth, 18s.

"A great and good service has been done to all students of history, and especially to those of them who look to it in a legal aspect, by Prof. J. W. Willis-Bund in the publication of a Selection of Cases from the State Trials.... Professor Willis-Bund has been very careful to give such selections from the State Trials as will best illustrate those points in what may be called the growth of the Law of Treason which he wishes to bring clearly under the notice of the student, and the result is, that there is not a page in the book which has not its own lesson.. In all respects, so far as we have been able to test it, this book is admirably done."Scotsman.

"Mr Willis-Bund has edited 'A Selection of Cases from the State Trials' which is likely to form a very valuable addition to the standard literature. There can be no doubt, therefore, of the interest that can be found in the State trials. But they are large and unwieldy, and it is impossible for the general reader to come across them. Mr Willis-Bund has therefore done good service in making a selection that is in the first volume reduced to a commodious form." -The Examiner.

"Every one engaged, either in teaching or in historical inquiry, must have felt the want of such a book, taken from the unwieldy volumes of the State Trials."-Contemporary Review.

"This work is a very useful contribution to that important branch of the constitutional history of England which is concerned with the growth and development of the law of treason, as it may be gathered from trials before the ordinary courts. The author has very wisely distinguished these cases from those of impeachment for treason before Parliament, which he proposes to treat in a future volume under the general head 'Proceedings in Parliament.""The Academy.

This is a work of such obvious utility

that the only wonder is that no one should have undertaken it before.... In many respects therefore, although the trials are more or less abridged, this is for the ordinary student's purpose not only a more handy, but a more useful work than Howell's."Saturday Review.

"Within the boards of this useful and handy book the student will find everything he can desire in the way of lists of cases given at length or referred to, and the statutes bearing on the text arranged chro nologically. The work of selecting from Howell's bulky series of volumes has been done with much judgment, merely curious cases being excluded, and all included so treated as to illustrate some important point of constitutional law."-Glasgow Herald.

"Mr Willis-Bund gives a résumé of each case as it comes, only quoting from the reports where the words of the original are important in themselves, and very often stating the point decided in his own words. By following this method he is able to introduce extraneous matter which does not strictly belong to the case in hand, such as Acts of Parliament, and in that way to make his book both more intelligible and more interesting. In the several trials which we have read he has done his work very well. The book should be very interesting to the historical student. . . . From what we have seen of this book we have great pleasure in recommending it."-Guardian.

"Mr Bund's object is not the romance, but the constitutional and legal bearings of that great series of causes célèbres which is unfortunately not within. easy reach of readers not happy enough to possess valuable libraries. . Of the importance of this subject, or of the want of a book of this kind, referring not vaguely but precisely to the grounds of constitutional doctrines, both of past and present times, no reader of his

tory can feel any doubt."-Daily News. Vol. II. In the Press.

THE FRAGMENTS OF THE PERPETUAL
EDICT OF SALVIUS JULIANUS,

collected, arranged, and annotated by BRYAN WALKER, M.A. LL.D., Law Lecturer of St John's College, and late Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. Crown 8vo., Cloth, Price 6s.

"This is one of the latest, we believe quite the latest, of the contributions made to legal scholarship by that revived study of the Roman Law at Cambridge which is now so marked a feature in the industrial life of the University. . . . In the present book we have the fruits of the same kind of thorough and well-ordered study which was brought to bear upon the notes to the Com

mentaries and the Institutes . . . Hitherto the Edict has been almost inaccessible to the ordinary English student, and such a student will be interested as well as perhaps surprised to find how abundantly the extant fragments illustrate and clear up points which have attracted his attention in the Commentaries, or the Institutes, or the Digest."

PUBLICATIONS OF

THE COMMENTARIES OF GAIUS AND RULES OF ULPIAN. (New Edition, revised and enlarged.) With a Translation and Notes, by J. T. ABDY, LL.D., Judge of County Courts, late Regius Professor of Laws in the University of Cambridge, and BRYAN WALKER, M.A., LL.D., Law Lecturer of St John's College, Cambridge, formerly Law Student of Trinity Hall and Chancellor's Medallist for Legal Studies. Crown Octavo, 16s.

"As scholars and as editors Messrs Abdy and Walker have done their work well.

For one thing the editors deserve special commendation. They have presented Gaius to the reader with few notes and those merely by way of reference or necessary

explanation. Thus the Roman jurist is allowed to speak for himself, and the reader fee's that ne is really studying Roman law in the original, and not a fanciful representation of it."-Athenæum.

THE INSTITUTES OF JUSTINIAN,

translated with Notes by J. T. ABDY, LL.D., Judge of County Courts, late Regius Professor of Laws in the University of Cambridge, and formerly Fellow of Trinity Hall; and BRYAN WALKER, M.A., LL.D., Law Lecturer of St John's College, Cambridge; late Fellow and Lecturer of Corpus Christi College; and formerly Law Student of Trinity Hall. Crown Octavo, 16s.

"We welcome here a valuable contribution to the study of jurisprudence. The text of the Institutes is occasionally perplexing, even to practised scholars, whose knowledge of classical models does not always avail them in dealing with the technicalities of legal phraseology. Nor can the ordinary dictionaries be expected to furnish all the help that is wanted. This translation will then be of great use. To the ordinary student, whose

attention is distracted from the subject-matter by the difficulty of struggling through the language in which it is contained, it will be almost indispensable."-Spectator.

"The notes are learned and carefully compiled, and this edition will be found useful to students."-Law Times.

"Dr Abdy and Dr Walker have produced a book which is both elegant and useful."Athenæum.

SELECTED TITLES FROM THE DIGEST,

annotated by B. WALKER, M.A., LL.D. Part I. Mandati vel Contra. Digest XVII. I. Crown 8vo., Cloth, 5s.

"This small volume is published as an experiment. The author proposes to publish an annotated edition and translation of several books of the Digest if this one is received with favour. We are pleased to be able to

say that Mr Walker deserves credit for the way in which he has performed the task undertaken. The translation, as might be expected, is schoiarly." Law Times.

Part II. De Adquirendo rerum dominio and De Adquirenda vel amittenda possessione. Digest XLI. I & II. Crown Octavo, Cloth. 6s.

GROTIUS DE JURE BELLI ET PACIS, with the Notes of Barbeyrac and others; accompanied by an abridged Translation of the Text, by W. WHEWELL, D.D. late Master of Trinity College. 3 Vols. Demy Octavo, 125. The translation separate, 6s.
