One Thousand Questions and Answers on Company Law.

By H. A. Ashton. (London Financial Service, Ltd. 5s. net.) This small book supplies a distinct want. It sets out in the form of questions and answers a great number of points which occur in everyday practice, and should prove of con- siderable value to secretaries and directors, but as it contains but very few references to cases decided in the courts it is of less use to lawyers. If the author would give chapter and verse for the answers referring to the decisions which have been given and the sections of the Acts which have been passed, and if the whole work were greatly enlarged, then we consider that lawyers as well as laymen would find it of real use.
