A NEW WORK ON CONTRACTS. We have just published a new edition of Addison on Contracts, with so many and so valuable additions of English and American matter that it can fairly be called a new treatise. The work itself is so well known as to require no further description than the statement of the London Law Times, that it is thoroughly practical, and is by far the best book ox the law of contracts. The eighth English edition, just published (of which this is a reprint in full, with American notes added), is very much enlarged and improved in comparison with other editions. The enlargement from the seventh edition is about forty per cent. ; and nearly two thousand addi- tional ENGLISH cases are cited. The English editor speaks thus of his work : — " The present edition has been considerably altered and enlarged. The first chapter, which deals with the nature and decisions of contracts in general, has been in some measure recast, with a view to greater clear- ness and perspicuity. The chapter on the ' Contract of Letting' ( in which is contained the law of Landlord and Tenant ) has been made more com- plete by the introduction of the subjects of ' Waste, ' Rights to Fi.xtures,' and ' Duties of Innkeepers,' and by the addition of a whole section on the law of ' Distress for Rent.' Some statement of the law relating to negligence in the performance of contracts for W^ork and Services, a;i(i other contracts, has been added to the present edition. The eflect o. fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation upon contracts, the law with respect to mandamus to public companies and local boards, questions of Specific Performance and Injunctions, the right of lien of bailors, bailees, and others, have received fuller consideration. The section upon ' Carriers has been very considerably enlarged by dealing more exhaustively than in previous editions with the duties of carriers in the carrying of passen- gers or goods, and in the forwarding and delivering of the latter. ' The American editor of this edition is Benjamin V.augh.an Abbott, author of the United States Digest, and of many other well-known law-
