BRO BROWN, M. P. A General Synopsis of the Decisions of the Court of Session, from its Institution until November, 1827. 4 vols. 4to. Edinburgh. 1829. . Supplement to Morrison's Dictionary. 5 vols. 4to. Edinburgh. 1823-20. BROWNE, A. A Compendious View of the Civil Law, and of the Law of the Admiralty ; being the substance of a course of Lectures read in the University of Dublin. 2d ed. 2 vols. 8vo. New York. 1840. The author has followed Blackstone's Commentaries in the order of treating his subject. His work lias been deservedly popular, both on account of the learning, solidity, and accuracy of his research, and be- cause it is the best book in the language showing the connexion between the Common and the Civil Law. It has been objected to on account of its brevity; but the author did not attempt to furnish an elementary trea- tise upon the Civil Law, but a manual for students to be read after Blackstone's Commentaries. It is often cited, and always with respect. In the second edition, the author suppressed a considerable portion of that part of his work relating to ecclesiastical law, and supplied its place by enlarging on the law of the Admiralty, and showing its con- nexion with the Civil Law. 1 Evans' Poth.
