Burrill's New Law Dictionary and Glossary.

A NEW LAW DICTIONARY AND GLOSSARY: Containing full definitions of the principal terms of the Common and Civil Law, together with translations and explanations of the various technical phrases in different languages occurring in the ancient and modern reports and standard treatises; embracing also all the principal common and civil law maxims. Compiled on the basis of Spelman's Glossary, and adapted to the jurisprudence of the United States; with copious illustrations, critical and historical. By ALEXANDER M. BURRILL, Esq., Counsellor at Law. Second Edition. Revised and Enlarged. 2 vols. royal octavo. Price, $10.

This work, as its title indicates, and as the author explains in his advertisement, combines the characteristic features of a defining dictionary, with those of a Glossary; being, in both respects, devoted exclusively to the exposition of the language of the law. As a dictionary, it embraces the definition of law terms, including not only technical terms, properly so called, but also such ordinary words as have been used in technical senses, or made the subjects of judicial or legislative construction or definition. This latter branch is an entirely new feature, and will prove as valuable as it is novel.

Burrill on Voluntary Assignments.

Burrill on Circumstantial Evidence.

A TREATISE ON THE NATURE, Principles, and Rules of Circumstantial Evidence, especially that of the Presumptive Kind, in Criminal Cases. By ALEXANDER M. BURRILL, Counsellor at Law, &c. 1 vol. 8vo., 800 pages. Price, $6.50.

This is a learned, philosophical, and highly interesting work-not "a mere law book," treating of subtle, refined, and technical doctrines of law, but a treatise on the logical rules whereby truth is ascertained and established by combinations of isolated facts, and the presumptions properly arising therefrom. Its perusal will dispel from any mind the fallacy so general (we had almost said universal) with persons not of the legal profession, that "circumstantial evidence" is at best but feeble, and not to be relied on.

"Mr. Burrill's previous works have been highly appreciated and commended by the profession; but we regard the volume under consideration as that on which his reputation as a learned legal writer, and profound legal thinker, will rest. A disciplined, active, and exact mind is visible throughout its pages."-New York Observer.

"This edition of Justinian's Institutes is an extremely useful work, containing a very accurate and close translation of the original, together with notes at once learned and practical. We are not aware of any edition of this celebrated work more likely to be useful to English law students, and we can safely recommend it to those aspirants to the bar who are now cultivating the Roman law."-London Legal Examiner.
