Com. 431 ; Wheaton's Hist. L. N. 103. WYNNE, EDWARD.

Bythewood. 2 vols. 12mo. London. 1822. Elegance of diction, appropriateness of illustration, and novelty of method, combine to make Eunomus a most attractive and instructive book. The origin and spirit of legal principles, the practice of the Courts, and information of general professional interest, are carefully examined and soundly explained. Such works aiTord the best evidence of the fallacy of the assertion, '^ that law is a dry and uninteresting study." It appeared originally as anonymous, and is more commonly cited as Eunomus, without mentioning the author. The last edition is considerably enlarged and much improved. 1 Bart. Conv. 27; 3 Co.
