PAL PALEY, VM. A Treatise on the Law of Principal and Agent, chietly with reference to Mercantile Transactions. 8vo. London. 1812. 2d edition by Niel Gow. 1819. 3d edition, with addi- tions, by J. H. Lloyd. 8vo. London. 1833. 2d American edition, with additions by N. Gow, and a Digest of American Cases. 8vo. Exeter. 1822. See Law Library. The doctrines pertaining to Agency are clearly deduced from the au- thorities and accurately stated by the author, but this branch of the law has been very much developed since Paley wrote. Mr. Gow corrected some of the author's inaccuracies, made additions to the text, and con- tributed a good deal of matter in the shape of notes and references ; but a part of his contributions are irrelevant, and most of them merely mar- ginal notes of cases foisted into the work without much judgment or apparent elaboration. Mr. Lloyd very properly removed most of his predecessors' labors as excrescences. His object was to continue the subjects treated of by Paley, down to the time his edition was published, which he is allowed to have done with skill, fidelity and learning. Paley's treatise, as improved by Mr. Lloyd, continued to be the best upon the subject, till the publication of Mr. Justice Story's work upon Agency. 70 Month. Rev. 100; 9 L. M. 109; (23) 3; 22 A. J. 478. .

By E. E. Dea- con, Esq. 8vo. London. 1838.
