ACCOUNT AND ANALYSIS

OF

NEW LAW BOOKS,

WITH OCCASIONAL REMARKS.

ARTICLE IX.-A DIGESTED INDEX to the MODERN REPORTS of the Courts of COMMON LAW, previous to the commencement of the Term reports, including Wm. Blackstone, Burrow, Cowper, Douglas, Lofft, Lord Raymond, Salkeld, Strange, Willis, and Wilson. By JOHN ILDERTON BURN, Esq.-BUTTERWORTH, Fleet-street. 1804. 1 volume Octavo.

THE nature of this work will sufficiently appear from the following account of it given by the author, in the ADVERTISEMENT which he has prefixed to it by way of preface.

"The following pages comprise, in a comparatively small compass, the substance of twenty-four volumes of reports. But the nature of the undertaking will best evince the labour that has been necessary to complete it.

"The cases are arranged on a plan similar to that of Mr. Tomlins' Digest of the Term Reports, with distinct references to the reporters: for many of them are reported by two or three different authors. Under each head, therefore, may be found by a very short and easy reference, the whole of the cases that have been reported for nearly a century past, on that particular subject; so that the labour of the student may thus be much shortened, at the same time, that it will be rendered more certain of attaining the object in view.

"So many reporters, and each pursuing a different mode of arrangement, however judicious separately considered, were sure to perplex the mind of any one who had occasion to consult many of them at a time. It is presumed that the arrangement of the whole, upon one systematic plan, will obviate much of that perplexity.

"This Digest offers the latter advantages; and it is hoped, with tolerable correctness, particularly in the references.

"A person consulting a work of this nature, can scarcely be supposed to do so, without referring also from it to the reports at large; therefore, in case there should be a defective abridgment of any of them (which the Editor is not aware of,) no great evil would ensue. This is not meant to apologize for inaccuracies, or avert a just criticism on his book, but more fully to satisfy those who consult it. His aim has been to give the leading point in each case correctly; when more than one point of law has arisen, they are referred to in different parts of the work, under correspondent titles.

"In so large an undertaking, often necessarily interrupted by professional duties, some errors may be expected, notwithstanding all the care taken to avoid them. The Editor, therefore, solicits the indulgence of his readers, for such as may have escaped his notice; and submits his labours to their candour and liberality."

As this is a fair statement of the nature of the work, we feel neither able nor inclined to offer any further criticism upon it, than to say that we think such a compilation is useful, and that having had some occasion to use it, we have found the references sufficiently correct. If the points, as stated by Mr. Burn, are not always so precise and satisfactory as those of Mr. Tomlins's Index, it should be considered that the latter gentleman, extracted them from the margin of the Term Reports, and that the marginal references to the previous reporters are not always so full or so accurate and precise, and it can scarcely be expected that in such a work Mr. Burn, at all times consulted the report, and extracted the point himself.*

ARTICLE X.-A TREATISE of the Law relative to MERCHANT SHIPS and SEAMEN; in four parts; 1. Of the Owners of Merchant Ships; II. Of the Persons employed in the Navigation thereof; III. Of the Carriage of goods therein; IV. Of the Wages of Merchant Seamen. By CHARLES ABBOTT, of the Inner Temple, Barrister at Law. The second Edition, with additions.-BROOKE and CLARKE, Bell-yard, Temple Bar; and J. BUTTERWORTH, Fleet-street. 1804. 1 volume Octavo.

THE maritime commerce of this country, is in every point of view an object of the greatest importance. From it the nation chiefly draws that wealth, which not only supplies

We wish Mr. Burn had included Espinasse, Peak, Anstruther

and Forrest,
