OBR continued to be reprinted until Mr. Bythewood's edition. This editor corrected the faulty translation, and subjoined notes and references expla- natory of the Maxims, and Noy's Comments upon them. The author was a profound lawyer, and his maxims and observations, notwithstand- ing the disadvantages under which they labored, have always been re- garded as " a collection of reputation and authority." lIr. Broom has incorporated most of them in his book of maxims. 2 L. M. N. S. 117; Pref. Bythe. edit.: 2 Kent, 551; Rose. Lives, 414 ; Walk. Conv. 28. NUNN, R. AND J. E. WALSHE.

" On American military laws and the practice of Courts Martial, it is the most instructive treatise on the subject, which has appeared in the United States ; and for practical purposes it cannot fail to be more use- ful in our country than any of the English works on military laws. Re- garding it, however, in the light of science and jurisprudence, it is a volume of very hollow pretences. No authorities are cited for points in the text, and the student is accordingly left to receive them, as a subal- tern receives the word of command from his superior officer, without the privilege of doubt or question." 8 L. R. 529. 543
