ANGELL, JOSEPH K. Treatise on the common law in relation to water courses, with an appendix containing the principal adjudged cases and forms of declarations. 3 ed. 8vo. Boston. 1840.

"The law in relation to water courses is becoming daily of increased importance, and Mr. Angell, in his work, has commendably discussed the subject. Local legislation has altered, in many of the states, the common law relative to water courses, but this does not preclude the necessity in many cases of resorting to well settled principles, in order to expound these legislative acts. No intelligent lawyer can well practice without Mr. Angell's treatise on watercourses." 3 Kent's Com. 453.

——————. Treatise on the right of property in tide waters, and in the soil and shores thereof, with an appendix containing the principal adjudged cases. 8vo. Boston. 1826.

The only regular treatise upon this branch of the law, besides the one under consideration, is Lord Hale's De jure Maris et Brachiorum ejusdem. Mr. Angell has furnished the profession, in the present publication, with a work that was much needed. He has collected the materials for his book with great industry, from a variety of sources that are not generally accessible, and his work is a valuable contribution to our jurisprudence.

—————— Inquiry into the rule of law which creates a right to an incorporeal hereditament, after an adverse possession of twenty years. 8vo. Boston. 1827.

——————. A treatise on the limitation of actions at law, and suits in equity and Admiralty. With an appendix containing an abstract of the statutes of limitations in the several states, Brook's Reading upon the statute of Hen. VIII., &c. 2d ed. 8vo. Boston. 1845.

It was the remark of a great judge, now no more, "that no book was ever fairly written till it had passed through the ordeal of a thorough revision by the author, for a second edition." This Mr. Angell has just done for his work upon limitations, and it is now more full and complete than any other treatise upon this subject extant. The first edition has some errors as to the law of limitations, and many errors of the press, which are corrected in the second. 5 A. J. 72, 73.62
