M. TULLII CICERONIS DE NATURA DEORUM Libri Tres, with Introduction and Commentary by JOSEPH B. MAYOR, M.A., Professor of Moral Philosophy 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., Cambridge. Vol. I. Demy 8vo. IOS. 6d.

"Such editions as that of which Prof. Mayor has given us the first instalment will doubtless do much to remedy this undeserved neglect. It is one on which great pains and much learning have evidently been expended, and is in every way admirably suited to meet the needs of the student. . . . . The notes of the editor are all that could be expected from his well-known learning and scholarship..... It is needless, therefore, to say that all points of syntax or of Ciceronian usage which present themselves have been treated with full mastery. The thanks

of many students will doubtless be given to Prof. Mayor for the amount of historical and biographical information afforded in the

[Vol. II. In the Press. commentary, which is, as it should be, supplemented and not replaced by references to the usual authorities."-Academy.

"The critical part of Professor Mayor's work appears to be exceedingly well done. In forming the text he has strictly observed the methods of modern scholarship, which holds itself bound not only to supply a reading plausible in itself, but to show how the corrupt reading that has to be emended came to take its place. A few conjectures of the editor's own are introduced. Professor Mayor

seems to intend his edition to serve the purpose of a general introduction to the history of Greek philosophy, and his commentary is very copious and lucid."-Saturday Review.

ELEMENTS OF NATURAL PHILOSOPHY.

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

"This work is designed especially for the use of schools and junior classes in the Universities, 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.

A TREATISE ON THE THEORY OF DETERMINANTS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN ANALYSIS AND GEOMETRY, by ROBERT FORSYTH SCOTT, M.A., of St John's College, Cambridge. Demy 8vo. 125.

"This able and comprehensive treatise will be welcomed by the student as bringing within his reach the results of many important researches on this subject which have hitherto been for the most part inaccessible to him. . . . . It would be presumptuous on the part of any one less learned in the litera

ture of the subject than Mr Scott to express an opinion as to the amount of his own research contained in this work, but all will appreciate the skill with which the results of his industrious reading have been arranged into this interesting treatise."--Athenæum.

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.

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.

"Prof Clark's little book is the substance of lectures delivered by him upon those portions of Austin's work on jurisprudence which deal with the "operation of

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

Vol. II.

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 chronologically. The work of selecting trom 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 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. 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."Law Times.

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 8vo. 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 feels that he 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 8vo. 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.

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

"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 Part II. De Adquirendo rerum dominio and De Adquirenda vel amittenda possessione. Digest XLI. I and II. Crown 8vo. Cloth. 6s. Part III. De Condictionibus. Digest XII.
