The Familiar Exercises on the first book of COKE—LITTLE- TON,
will be exceedingly useful to the law-student. In learning the elements of a science, it is absolutely necessary to make the foundation-work secure. This is only to be done by familiarizing the mind with the subject by every mode calculated to excite re- flection, and so impress the principles of the science on the memory, that they may occur and be gone over without effort and almost spontaneously. The solitary student has great difficulty in this self-exercise: he will, however, be greatly aided by catechisms and similar works. Of this nature is Mr. HOHLER'S little volume; and it is more judiciously executed than any of the kind that has been submitted to our inspection. To the industrious and pains- taking attorney's clerk, its aid will be invaluable. No youth, so situated, can lay out six shillings to similar advantage. The volume contains the original text and commentary.
