Mr. Tomlins made Jacobs' Law Dictionary the basis of his, upon which he and his editors have engrafted the changes and growth of the law from time to time, as new editions were required. It is voluminous, and prepared with skill and accuracy, but a considerable portion of the volumes is taken up with statutory provisions, that may be serviceable in England, but which are of trifling use to American lawyers. Within a few years almost every material branch of the law has been favored with separate treatises, so that there is less need than formerly of ex- tended disquisitions, such as are devoted to certain Titles in Mr. Tom- lin's volumes. For practical purposes, Mr. Bouviei's Law Dictionary is, in every respect, much to be preferred to the English work. 14 L. M. 239. . The Law Dictionary, abridged. 2 vols. Svo. London. 1810. .
