experience of banking namely, the lack of readily accessible 

 information regarding the exact borrowing powers of statutory 

 and other bodies of various kinds. This information, which is 

 largely contained in Acts of Parliament and legal records, can 

 normally be obtained only by a considerable amount of research 

 for each particular case which arises. The author has therefore 

 provided here a convenient and inexpensive book of reference, 

 which will result in the saving of much valuable time to busy men. 

 All forms of statutory bodies, including Registered Companies, 

 Incorporated and Public Utility Companies, Local Authorities, 

 Building, Friendly, Co-operative, and other Societies, are fully 

 dealt with ; and in order to make the work as complete as possible 

 reference is also made to ordinary and limited Partnerships and to 

 individuals in certain special capacities, for example, Executors, 

 Trustees, Liquidators, Receivers and Managers, Minors, Agents, 

 Stockbrokers, Moneylenders, Churchwardens, and many others. 

 There is a full consideration of the Liquidation of Companies, 

 whether voluntary or otherwise, which is cognate to the subject 

 as showing a lender how to recover his money ; this is followed 

 by two useful tables showing the Subsidiary Acts administered 

 by Local Authorities, and a comparison of the Capital Accounts of 

 Municipal Corporations and Public Companies; and at the end of 

 the book are printed the relevant extracts from Acts of Parliament, 

 and a full index. 



FORENSIC CHEMISTRY. 



By A. LUCAS, O.B.E., F.I.C. 

 One Volume. Demy 8vo. 155. net. 



Forensic Chemistry may be defined as chemistry applied to the 

 solution of problems which arise in connection with the adminis- 

 tration of the law. The author is the Director of the Govern- 

 ment Analytical Laboratory at Cairo, and the book is largely the 

 outcome of many years of practical experience in work of this 

 nature. It is the first English book dealing with the means of 

 obtaining the facts on which chemical evidence is based. 

 Ordinary methods of analysis which can be found in ordinary 

 textbooks and which are known to every analyst are omitted, 

 but all special methods which are of value to the expert are given 

 in full. The book will make an undoubted appeal to all those 

 who are interested in the way in which Chemistry may be applied 

 to the unravelling of legal problems.
