BOOK NOTICES. A TREATISE ON THE LAW RELATING то GIFTS AND ADVANCEMENTS. By W. W. THORNTON of the Indianapolis Bar. T. & J. W. Johnson & Co., Philadelphia, 1893. Law Sheep. $6.00 net It is strange that so important a subject as the one covered by this treatise should not have attracted the attention of our law-writers long ere this. We believe this volume by Mr. Thornton is the first American work upon Gifts, and the author has supplied a longfelt want. The treatise is evidently the result of careful and conscientious work on the writer's part, and is admirably adapted to the practitioner's use. The subject is very fully covered, and the notes com prehensive and to the point. We heartily commend it to the profession as a really valuable addition to legal literature. In its make-up and typography the work is un usually attractive, and the publishers deserve a word of praise for their efforts in this respect.
