BUL BULLER, SIR FRANCIS. An Introduction to the Law relative to Trials at Nisi Prius, with copious Annotations. By R. W. Bridgman. 7th ed. 8vo. London. 1817. 8vo. New York. 1806. With Notes of American Cases. The germ of this work was originally written, as is supposed, by Mr. Bathurst, afterwards Lord Apsley, and was entitled — Institutes of the Law relative to Trials at Nisi Prius. 8vo. 1760. Sir F. Buller added somewhat to the book, and published it under the above title. It lacks method, and is in many respects incomplete. " It has the appearance of having been sent to the press from the notes of a common-place book, without much attempt to improve their arrangement, or supply their deficiencies." Notwithstanding its defects, from the judicial station of the learned author whose name it bears, it has been regarded as a work of considerable authority. Its place has been supplied by later works, but it is still useful because it contains some authorities not elsewhere to be met with.
