ance proves it to be of much wider significance . A worthy editor was found in Mr . J . E . Lloyd , M . A .. who has completed the task in a highly creditable manner . The book professes to be
an attempt to trace in the local institutions of mediasval and modern England vestiges of a state of society similar to that described in the
Welsh laws . From the best records available , the author traces the founding of Welsh law from the earliest history . The principal
subjects here treated are the free brethren , with their rules of inheritance and family arrangements ; the dependent iw classes 1 Hi the joint famil BJfPf Pfc Pf

authority worthy of consideration is laid under tribute and is freely quoted . From the earliest period the cotorse of law in this country is
traced with assiduous fidelity . References are carefully made to the relation of contemporary ' ¦ ' ' ¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦ — >

interest to anyone who seeks for knowledge of the gradual growth of English law-making , whilst the philologist will also find many a
uaint m and curious m ¦ . This *« m « is in m some sense a q history , of words page as well as of laws . The development of our statutes has been
contemporary with the building of our language , and both are intertwined in the course of this volume . In the chapter on trial by jury we I
learn that up to the reign of Henry I . the practice of duelling in settlement of certain disputes had been allowedbut that sovereign
prohibited the duel when , the value involved was not more than 10 * . It is interesting to I note further thatat one period in the history f
of trial by jury , the , assizes were to determine on their own knowledge , after a view of the premises . With that end they were selected !
from among the neighbours . If they were unable to agree , the jury was strengthened by the addition of others likely to knowso that
a full number of twelve might agree , in a verdict . And if the twelve returned a verdict false in fact , it could be reviewed by a jury
of twenty-four ; if it was reversed , the twelve were convicted of perjury and attainted . This work is a valuable addition to the existing
literature upon the British constitution , and its practical utility is enhanced by a careful and full glossary and index .
From Mr . T . Fisher Unwin . — Madagascar ; or , Robert Drury ' s Journal during Fifteen Years ' Captivity on that Island . ' Edited by Captain
Pasfield Oliver , R . A . Vol . II . of * The Adventure Series . ' The original work , of which the present is a reproduction , was published by W .
Meadows , at the Angel in Cornhill , in the year 1729 , and is prefaced with a certificate signed by W . Mackettstating that * Robert
Drury , fifteen years a slave , in Madagascar , now living in London , was redeem'd from thence and brought into England , his Native Country ,
by Myself . I esteem him as an honest and industrious Man , of good Reputation , and do firmly believe that the Account he gives of
his Strange and Surprising Adventures is Genuine and Authentick . ' The editor of this re-issue is of opinion that the astonishing
narrative of Robert Drury is fairly reliable , and backs his opinion by the views of such well-known authorities as William Ellis , Dr .
Mullens , and Messrs . Sibree and Richardson . I He , however , after a careful examination , is I inclined to doubt the authenticity of the
' Travels' in their entirety . Whether founded on fact or not , the book as a whole is full of striking interest and entertainment , and
although too diffuse at times , will please readers who are fond of travels . From Messrs . John "Walker & Co . —* The
Explanatory Pronouncing Dictionary of Latin Quotations . ' The aim of this little book is threefold . It seeks to provide the general
reader with the English equivalents of the classical phrases which recur from time to time — in ' - ~ ¦ — the ^~ ¦ — ' ~ TP newspapers !¦ ¦ ¦ i "i w ^ ' ^ - H ¦¦ ^ pr - ^ pj ^ P —^ " W ^ V ^ P" , BV to * ' ^ .

trouble . We are glad to find that care has been taken , by reference to the originals , not . ' onl - y to give the quotation itself correctly k «¦ ¦ but ¦¦ PI I ¦ ~~— I H
