A Digest of the Law of Libel and Slander. By

W. B. Odgers, M.A. LL.D. (Stevens and Sons.)—In this digest not only has every reported case decided in England or Ireland during the last fifteen years been noticed—so, at least, the author believes—but Canadian and• Australian decisions have also been quoted, whenever the English law was doubtful or silent on the point. The record has been brought down to the early part of January last.
