Bankers and Borrowers. By John Brunton. (Arnold. 7s. 6d. net.)---Mr.

Brunton's title is too concise. He is not concerned with private clients who want overdrafts. His object is to describe " the powers possessed by statutory bodies with respect to borrowing, and the Statutes under which those powers are exercised." He discusses, also, partnerships and the powers of trustees and executors. The question for the banker in these cases is whether the borrower has power to borrow. It is answered very clearly and concisely in this useful book.
