Both the Law Quarterly Review (Stevens and Sons), and the

Law Magazine and Review (Stevens and Haynes), thoroughly sus- tain their high reputation as organs of the legal profession, in which, however, well-informed laymen will find much both of interest and of practical use. It may b3 hinted to the con- ductors of the second of these periodicals that they are too prone to sequences of essays such as those now running —valuable though they are—on the International Law of Divorce and Foreign Maritime Laws, The Law Quarterly Review for January contains an elaborate and commendatory notice by Sir A. C. Lya11 of Mr. Baden-Powe]l's important work on "The Land Systems of British India." We are also glad to notice that a well-informed writer says of the City of London Chamber of Arbitration that "the best lawyers frankly recog- nise" in such a scheme of industrial arbitration as that now in- augurated, "the beet substitute for litigation, the most satisfac- tory means of settling every-day commercial disputes, and also of preparing the way for a larger and more enlightened commercial jurisprudence in the future."
