The original work has an unexcelled reputation. It covers a vast field. It cites a great number of English and American cases. This edition has all the indexes and tables of cases which former editions lack. The American Notes of Mr. Abbott cover admirably points on which our law differs from the English, or those which Addison fails to cover, such as Contracts by Telegraph. In the words of the " Law Times," " It is thoroughly practical, and is by far the best book on the Law of Contracts." Ear" Old editions will be taken, in part exchange for this, at $1.50 per volume.
