This work is from the pen of the Licen- 
tiate D. Juan ALvaREZz PosaDILLa, 
and is the third volume on the fame fubjeét. 
It treats on the different diftinétions of 
crime, and on the punifhment afligned to 
each by the laws of the country. The 
two former volumes have been very favour- 
ably received by the public: the prefent 
is the more nece‘lary, becaufe the Spanifh 
civilians have treated of general legiflation, 
and very rarely direéted their ffudies to 
the peculiar laws of Spain. But thiswork 
is not merely intended to fupply this de- 
ficiency, but another more important one 
in the law cf the land itfelf, which has 
not provided in all cafes the mode and
