LON LOGAN, JAS. The Pocket Bill Book; or, Practical Digest of the Laws of Bills, Promissory Notes, and Bankers' Checks. 12mo. Edinburgh. 1842. LOMAS, JOHN. The City Hall Reporter, and New York Gene- ral Law Magazine. LOMAX, JOHN T. A Digest of the Laws respecting Real Pro- perty generally, Adapted and in Use in the United States, em- bracing, more especially, the Laws of Real Property in Virginia, 3 vols. 8vo. Philadelphia. 1839. This Digest, with Hilliard's Abridgment, and Kent's Commentaries, contains the whole Law of Real Property, as it exists in the United States, and are three works that no lawyer can well do without. Chan- cellor Kent speaks in high terms of Mr. Lomax's Treatise. 4 Kent's Com. 388, n, 535. . A Treatise on the Law of Executors and Admin- istrators, generally in Use in the United States, adapted more particularly to the Practice of Virginia. 2 vols. 8vo. Philadelphia. 1841. LONG, GEORGE. A Treatise on the Law relative to the Sales of Personal Property ; with Additions. By Benjamin Rand, Esq. 8vo. London. 1821. 2d American ed. 8vo. Boston. 1839. Long on Sales, is a book of moderate merits, and never reached a second edition in England. Mr. Rand enlarged the work, which gave it a currency and peculiar value, from the ability and skill with which he collected and incorporated the additional matter, amounting to 200 pages. There are a good many mistakes in the references of his edition, but with this defect, and, withal, its age, it is the best and only treatise in general use on the Law of Sales, in the country. A comprehensive Treatise on Sales is much needed, which, it is understood, W. W. Story, of Boston, is preparing. 21 A. J. 471. .
