plished for the Criminal, what Professor Bell has done for the Civil Law of Scotland. Mr. Alison's Treatise is a well arranged, practical work, written in a lucid style. Although professedly elementary, it will fairly rank, in point of research and depth of erudition, with the more ponderous tomes of Burnett, Stair, and Hume. 1 Edinb. Law Jour. 484, (2,) 262; Joy on Confessions, 21.
