Pollock on Torts, — No book published in England for some years has attracted so much interest among American lawyers as will be aroused by the announcement that Professor Pollock has in press a new treatise on the Law of Torts, which will probably be published in January. His clear style, his thorough learning, his accurate knowledge of tlie law, his experience as a teacher and writer, combine to accredit this book in advance. It will proljably be published here at $6.00. Indermaur Indorsed. — The Law School of Michigan University has adopted as a text-book Indermaur's Common- Law Cases. This book is an epitome of S.mith'.s Leading Cases, admirably condensed by Mr. Indermaur, a successful tutor for admission to the bar in England. All of the cases in Smith, compressed clown to their very essence, are con- tained in this little volume, the broad and smooth margins to whose pages offer opportunities for manuscript notes in or out of the lecture-room. English Overruled Cases. — A very useful work will soon be issued (practically as a supplement to Mews' and Chitty's Digests) by C. W. M. Dale and R. C. Lehmann. It is entitled '• A Digest of Cases Over- ruled, Dissented from, Questioned, Disapproved, Distinguished, and Specially Considered by the English Courts, from 1756 to 1884." A novel feature of this work will be the illustration of each point by extracts from the judgment in which the case was criticised. The price will prob- ably be (for two volum-^s) about $15.00. For Scholarly Men. — Stimson"s American Statute Law is at- tracting much attention among students of public affairs and of consti- tutional history, outside of the profession of law. Five copies were recently ordered together for professors in Columbia College. It is the first and only book in which one can trace and comprehend tht relative growth of statute law in our forty sister commonwealths, legislating in parallel lines upon the basis of the common law, for a nation in which State lines are growing to have less and less significance. A Surprising Sale. ^ What has caused the "boom " for Wood on THE Statute of Limitations? It was published three years ago, had a very good sale at the outset, and then apparently settled down to the reg- ular and ordinary annual sale of a standard text-book. But this year it has taken a sudden start without special push or advertising, and has already nearly trebled its sales for 1885. Is this because its merits are only just becoming known, or because the courts have begun to cite it. or because Mr. Wood's widely sold work on Railway Law has brought his other books into renewed favor ? More Praise from High Authority. — Just as this number of Legal Bibliography is going to press, a letter comes to hand from Hon. Edmund H. Bennett, the Dean of Boston LIniversity Law School, and author or editor of several excellent law-books, saying : — " I cannot too highly express my appreciation of the merits of S timson's American Statute Law. To the author and student it is invaluable. The labor of research it saves to every one interested in inquiring into the laws of the several States cannot be easily calculated. I have found it very useful and reliable in examining the laws of Marriage and Divorce, and I trust the author may be encouraged to give us another volume in the same direction." Few Changes needed in Stimson. — The author is now preparing, and will publish on the ist of January, 1888, a pamphlet supplement to this work containing the changes made in it by the legislation of the two years since its date. It has proved by actual experience' that the changes are slight and few in number: thus, the laws of New York for 1886 make but three small alterations, the laws of Massachusetts but one. These supplements will continue to be published biennially, will contain from sixteen to forty-eight pages of the same size as tiie book, and be sold at probably fifty cents for each issue, thus keeping the work per- m.anently up to date. Successful Book on Railway Law. — Few law books, of late years, have been so quickly and so thoroughly successful as W^ood on Rail- way Law. Mr. Wood has the fortunate faculty of selecting and present- ing his points just as the lawyer likes to find them. While his books are not " padded " with unnecessary quotations, he gives a sufficient abstract of the most important decisions, so that the reader does not have to turn from the book to the original reports at every page, only to find that the cases cited do not apply to his own case. Of all his useful books. Wood on Railway Law seems to be the best. The Preparation of Briefs. — The Lawyer's Reference Manual has received another and even more practical compliment at Columbia College Law School. Mr. Isaac L. Rice, in delivering a series of lectures on "The Prepar.ition of Legal Briefs, has indicated the Manual as a text-book, and recommended the students to buy it. An Admirable Catalogue. — Just before going to press we receive the catalogue of the Law Department of the California State Library, prepared by the Librarian, Talbot H. Wallis. Esq. It is a handsome crown octavo of 675 pages, carefully, thoroughly, and systematically compiled. For Tulness of information, indexing,. and cross-reference, it ranks easily frst among law catalogues, and reflects great credit on the State which has collected so fine a library, and on the librarian who has catalogued it so well. The Limitations upon our Police Power. — In the present dis- turbed and imcertain condition of affairs, when the problem of the regula- tion of strikes and boycotts finds its solution only in the interference of the State and Federal Government, the readers of constitutional law will find great interest in a new book, by the author of " Tiedeman on Real Property," on the subject of The Limitations of Police Power in THE United States, — a single volume of about seven hundred pages, in which is discussed every phase of the legal restrictions which inay be put upon the internal management of municipal and State government. With the single exception of a brief reference to the subject, by Judge CooLEY, in his masterly work upon Constitutional Limitations, this important subject seems to have heretofore escaped the attention of all ' contributors to our legal literature. The book is a' pioneer in its line, but
