STO STORY, JOSEPH. Commentaries on the Law of Agency, as a Branch of Commercial and Maritime Jurisprudence, with occa- sional Illustrations from the Civil and Foreign Law. 2d ed. 8vo. Boston. 1844. " The whole work is marked with that ample and redundant learning and vigorous good sense, which have given his previous legal writings so high an authority, both in England and America. He lias every where illustrated the doctrines of the common law, by copious extracts from distinguished writers on Roman and Continental law, and shown us how inevitably the exigences of commerce, and the sense which intelligent merchants have of their own true interests, lead to the same principles in commercial law in England, Scotland, France, and America. 22 A.

Commentaries on Equity Pleadings, and the in- cidents thereto, according to the Practice of the Courts of Equity in England and America. 3d ed. 8vo. Boston. 1844. " The merits on which we found our recommendation of the work, are the admirable arrangement of matter, the clear statement of the cases which are quoted, and the lucid and forcible manner in which their bear- ing upon the several doctrines is illustrated. These are merits of no ordinary advantage to the practical lawyer, and of inestimable benefit to the student." "There are no works," says Professor Greenleaf, "in our language, in which the true doctrines and practice of the Law of Equity, and its importance to the administration of complete justice, are so convincingly taught; and probably no one of his works has been received by the profession with greater thankfulness, or is more frequently consulted, tlian Mr. Justice Story's Commentaries on Equity Pleadings." 21 L.

" Collyer and Story's Partnership are works of great merit, and the latter pre-eminently so, and they have stated fully the principles and distinctions, and given the learning and cases which belong to the sub- ject." 2G A.
