Art. XID. The Practice of the Court of King's Bench in personal Actions : with References 
to Cases of Practice in the Court of Common Pleas. 
Third 
In Two Volumes octavo. 
Edition, corrected and enlarged. By Witttam Tipp, Esq. 
IN preparing this (the third) edition 
of the present work, some material dlte- 
rations in the arrangement have been 
made. A new chapter has also been 
added in the removal of causes, from in- 
ferior courts, by writ of certiorari or ha- 
beas corpus, from such as are of record; 
or by writ of pone, recordare facias lo- 
quelam, or accedas ad curiam, from such 
asare not of record. ‘The later decisions 
have also been incorporated in this edi- 
tion, and more than sixty rules of court 
have been added; so that the work now 
contains a complete series of the rules of 
court from the beginning of the reign of 
James the First to the preseyt time. 
Such errors as were discovered in the 
former edition are now rectified; and the 
author has not, as before, confined him- 
self merely to the practice of the court 
of King’s Bench, but has taken a view of 
the mode of commencing actions in the 
court of Common Pleas, and has in many 
instances shewn where the practice of 
the two courts correspond, and where 
it differs. Still, however, the author has 
principally kept in view the jurisdiction 
of the court of King’s Bench in personal 
actions; and has, in a great measure, 
confined his attention to the process of 
that court, and the times and manner of 
transacting its business. Such differences 
in the practice of the two courts as arise 
out of the cases, are particularly marked 
in the text, or more commonly in the 
hotes. Several important acts of parli- 
ament, and rules of coutt, having been 
made since the present edition was sent 
to the préss, these are noticed at the end 
of the work by way of addenda. Mr. 
Tidd has, by this edition, conferred 4 
new favour on the profession. His work 
has, from its first publication, been cons 
sidered as decidédly the best book on the 
subject ; but as its matter is purely pro 
fessional, the merit of it can be justly es- 
timated only by professional men. . 
Art. XIII. A Treatise on Captures in War, ty Rtcuarn Lez, Esq. Second Edition with 
Notes. 
THIS work, we are informed by the 
editor, is an enlarged translation of the 
principal part of Bynkershoek’s Ques- 
tiones Juris Publici, and has for its ob- 
ject the law of nations, relative to cap- 
tures in war, as well of territory as of 
moveable property of every species. A 
few notes are subjoined by the editor, 
where the law of nations has undergone 
any alterations since the publication of 
the original work, or where the principles 
and doctrine were capable of additional 
iilustration from more recent events. 
The whole work is contained in a small 
octavo volume, and is divided into chap- 
ters, arranged as follows: Chapter 1. 
war, what it is; 2. whether a public de- 
claration is necessary to make a war law- 
ful; 3. of reprisals ; 4. of the nature of 
war between enemies, the rights which 
war gives over the person of the enemy, 
their extent and bounds; 5. when move- 
able goods, and particularly ships belong- 
ing to the enemy, become the property 
of the captors; 6. whether and where 
moveable things, and especially ships, 
may be given up to the recaptors; 7. 
how far the possession of unmoveables 
cained in war may be extended ; 8. whe-
