736 (Sept.-Oct.). An attempt to trace the true basis of dis tinction between contracts of guaranty and of suretyship. Contracts of credit insurance, it is pointed out, liability being contingent on loss rather than default, are contracts of indemnity rather than of guaranty and should be governed by the rules of insurance rather than of suretyship.

"It is neither ‘intelligent scrutiny‘ n01‘ ‘candid criticism’ to select dissenting opinions and declare dogmatically that they are ‘un questionably the correct view,’ implying that the case at the bar was erroneously decided, unless such a naked declaration should be pursued in a lawyer-like way, along recog nized lines, towards some other conclusion." l'errer.

By William Archer. McClure's, v. 36, p. 43 (Nov.). The English dramatic critic went to Spain to make a thorough investigation of the events caluminating in the execution of Ferrer.
