CHITTY, Esq., as were considered useful, have been retained; and the Four Volumes have received extensive Additions by the following Gentlemen:Vol. I., by JOHN F. HARGRAVE, Esq., of Lincoln's Inn; Vol. II., by GEORGE SWEET, Esq., of the Inner Temple; Vol. III., by RICHARD COUCH, Esq., of the Middle Temple; Vol. IV., by W. N.

In Six very thick octavo Volumes, price 67. 10s. in strong cloth bds., BURN'S JUSTICE of the PEACE and PARISH OFFICER. The Twenty-ninth Edition, corrected and greatly enlarged, containing the Statutes and Cases to 7 & 8 Vict., inclusive, with a New Collection of Precedents. The Title "Poor" by Mr. Commissioner BERE, of the Exeter District Court of Bankruptcy; the rest of the Work by THOMAS CHITTY, Esq., of the Inner Temple.

On introducing a new and greatly improved edition of an old-estalished book, like "Burn's Justice," to the notice of the Members of the Magistracy and the Legal Profession, the Publishers need only point attention to the claims which it has upon two such large and influential bodies, to ensure a success similar to that which has attended all previous editions. Since the year 1837 (the date of the last edition) a considerable number of important Statutes have been passed; by several of those Statutes the executive power of the Magistrate has been somewhat restricted, and by others extended, while the whole duties of the office have undergone too many changes not to render a New Edition (embodying every Act and decision to the present time) a valuable and necessary addition to the Libraries of Gentlemen engaged in the Local Administration of Justice. The Six Volumes have received a thorough revision; the Forms have been re-modelled, and carefully adapted to the recent changes; several new Titles (created by modern enactments) have been introduced, and great exertions have been made to ensure a correct and full development of the Law as it now stands. The title "Poor," which occupies the whole of the Fourth Volume, has again been prepared by Mr. Commissioner Bere; and his object has been to furnish the cases at full length, being satisfied that no compendious abstract, however carefully made, would supply a satisfactory Manual for those who attend the Quarter Sessions. The Marginal Notes and the Index are, however, abridgments of the Cases, so that the general principles of the Law may be ascertained without reading the fuller statement. great utility of the Work as an authority, presenting the cases in detail, and superseding the Reports themselves, is thereby preserved, at the same time that the necessity of reading the whole is obviated by the fulness of the Marginal Note.

"The reports of the "Common-law Commissioners" suggested exten sive changes in the practice on this important subject, (Pleading), which changes, whether improvements or not, were sanctioned by Parliament, and embodied by all the common-law courts in general rules, dated Hilary gencies, and to link the present with the past by regulating the transiTerm, 1834. It was then sought to adapt old principles to modern exition-with what success the work before us attempts to develope. It embodies in its text the pith of the decisions on "Modern Pleading," as incident to the above "rules," and condenses in the notes other valuable matter at present spread over lengthy "reports." The latter feature is adapted to render the volume more extensively useful in courts of Nisi Prius, particularly on the circuits, and in the library of country practitioners. Nor is it rigorously limited to its chief object; but includes the course of decisions on the replication de injuriâ in its extended application, as well as on the modern acts respecting land, tithes, mines, commons, ways, and easements, together with so much of the law of amendment, evidence, and costs as elucidates the new rules of pleading.

TO THE COUNTRY BOOKSELLERS.

GENTLEMEN,-We are reluctantly compelled to inform THE LONDON LAW PUBLISHERS beg to inform those

you, that, in consequence of certain regulations recently adopted by those Law Publishers whose names we subjoin, and with which we are unable to comply, we cannot obtain the Law Books, Reports, Journals, &c., published by them, with any greater allowance than Ten per Cent. for Cash; and we, therefore, cannot make you the usual Trade Allowance to which, as Booksellers, you are entitled.

It is not necessary for us to enter into a minute history of what has taken place; but we assure you that we have done our utmost to reconcile the differences which have arisen, and to protect the interests of the Country Trade, and that it is to our great regret we find our efforts have proved unavailing.

members of the Country Trade who have experienced any difficulty in obtaining Law Books from their Agents in London, upon the usual terms, that the fault thereof lies with their Agents. The same allowances, and the same facilities which have ever been given to the houses in Paternoster Row, are still offered to them, upon condition that the heads of those houses agree to observe and sign certain rules put forth by the Law Publishers for the protection of the retail trade and the suppression of underselling. The Country Bookseller has two modes at his command for removing the obstruction to his business, by not being able to obtain Law Books in the usual way and upon the usual terms. The first isto apply direct to the Publishers for that portion of his orders which relates to Law: and the second is-to remove the whole of his correspondence to one of the few houses which have thought fit to recognise the Law Trade Rules, and keep the privilege of the full trade allowance upon Legal publications.

The principle laid down by this decision is very important, and may have some singular consequences.. For although, in legal phraseology, the right established is expressed to be a right of property in a man's own works, it is impossible not to see that it is, in effect, a right of privacy-a right of withholding from the public a knowledge of what one has done in the way of literary or other composition. For when the Lord Chancellor speaks of the publication of a catalogue of works being a mode of conveying to the public knowledge of those works, his Lordship, we apprehend, does not, and cannot, mean that it makes the works themselves known, but only that it makes known the fact of their existence, and, generally, what is the subjectmatter of them; and when his Lordship holds that there is no substantial distinction between the two acts

THE decision of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, in the case of Prince Albert v. Strange, has been affirmed by the Lord Chancellor, not only on the ground on which we understand his Honor to have proceeded, viz. the ground of there being such a right of property in the plaintiffs as to entitle them to prevent the publication of a catalogue of their works; but also on two grounds which we do not collect to have influenced the Vice-Chancellor, viz. the ground, as regards the particular catalogue referred to in the pleadings, of fraud in the defendants as against the public; and, as to the general question of publishing any catalogue, on the ground of fraud in the defendants in obtaining their information*. On the question of property, his Lordship did not go into any lengthened argument, but laid down-that of conveying knowledge by copies and conveying the principle, as we collected it, thus:-That the author of literary compositions, or the like, has an undoubted property in them, which entitles him to withhold them from being made public; that when a person takes and makes public copies of such works, which, it is admitted, he may not do, he is but taking one mode of conveying to the public knowledge or information of the originals; and that, in publishing a descriptive catalogue, he is only taking another mode of conveying such knowledge or information to the public; that, in both cases, he is giving to the public a knowledge of the unpublished works of an author, which he has a right to withhold and keep for his own use and pleasure.

it by catalogues-his Lordship must, we apprehend, be understood to mean, not that there is no substantial distinction as to the nature of the knowledge or information, but none as to the interference with that which his Lordship holds to be the right of the author, namely, the right of withholding from the public not only his work, but all knowledge of or respecting it. The right, therefore, established by the decision of the Lord Chancellor, in Prince Albert v. Strange, is a right in the author of any composition capable of being made the subject of copyright, (if he has manifested an intention not to allow the public to have any knowledge of it), to restrain any person, whether affected or not by confidence, from publishing to the world any information whatever respecting such author's productions. Whether the Lord Chancellor meant to extend the doctrine to the making manifest to the public any other property of which the
