Histor ical Introduction to the Private Law of Rome. By the

late James Muirhead, LL.D. Revised and edited by Henry Gouldy,

LL.D. (A. and C. Black.)—Professor Muirhead wrote this treatise for The Encyclopmdia Britannica," and after epito- mising it to suit the requirements of that publication, restored its original proportions, and even increased them, for separate publication. It has now been illustrated by references to more recent works on the subject.—Another book in which the

labours of deceased writers have been revised and brought up to date is A Junior Course of Practical Zoology, by the late A. Milnes Marshall, M.D., and the late C. Herbert Hurst, Ph.D., revised by F. W. Gamble, M.Sc. (Smith, Elder, and Co.)
