ByJosiah William Smith, B.C.L., of Lincoln's Inn, Esq., Barrister-at-Law. In 1 thick vol. 8vo. 1856. Price £\ 8s. cloth. " We must say that he has performed the task of selecting and arranging with discretion and ability. The hook, if used in the manner recommended by the editor, as a refresher to the memory, and a repository of information that is wanted in daily practice, will be found of great value." — Jueist, 5th April, 1856. •' It will he seen from this outline that the work is extremely well planned ; the topics are arranged in the natural order as they flow out of one another, and thus immensely aid the reader's memory. He writes like a man who is master of hia theme, clearly and concisely.'?— Law Times, Dec. 1, 1855. •' Of the manner in which Mr. Smith has acquitted himself of the task of sup- plying the deficiency he points out, we have great satisfaction in being enabled to speak in terms of the highest praise. The work before us has evidently been compiled with the most conscientious care ; we have taken some trouble to test its contents, and can vouch for its merits in point of scrupulous accuracy."— The Examination of Articleh Clerks, Feb. 1856. fireenwood^s Manual of Conveyancing 5 A Manual of the Practice of Conveyancing, showing the present Practice relating to tlie daily routine of Conveyancing in Solicitors' Offices. To which are added Concise Common Forms in Conveyancing; — Conditions of Sales, Con- veyances, and all other Assurances in constant use. By (?. IV. Greenwood. Inl2mo. 185G. Price 7«. 6d. cloth. ' ' The Title of this work is, as regards the practice of Conveyancing, very justly adopted. "The Author gives, in a clear and well-arranged manner^ a statement of the duties of a Solicitor in general Conveyancing business. He distinguishes between the duties of the Solicitors on each side, pomtini? out their respective rights as to preparation of documents, chdrges, &c. ; and adds numerous suggestions, not only useftil to a clerk or young practiticner, but many of which would be found of service by professional men generally." — Legal Observer, March 23, 1856. " This is a useful little manual, designed as a guide to the inexperienced prac- titioner in the practical conduct of conveyancing business. It is written m an easy intelligible style, and comprises a variety of very necessary information and advice upon the matters of which it treats. These matters are such as, in the absence of a work of thia character, are only to be learnt by actual experience ; and, indeed, there are points touched upon in the pages before us on which en- lightenment may be gathered even by those whose career does not date as from yesterday : while the clerk, intrusted with the mechanical conduct of a matter of conveyancing practice, may derive very appreciable assistance from the work, and be enabled by its aid to satisfy many a doubt, and to dispense with many a refer- ence to his principal.

" It will he seen from this analysis, and our former observations, that Mr. Fin- lason's edition of the Acts and Rules is comprehensive in its plan and complete 'D its details."— Jurist, No. 10. N. S. "This is, in our judgment, a most excellent and careAilly written book. The equity powers ffiven to the Common Law Courts are admirably done. The views taken by Mr. Finlason of the practical bearing and operation of these Acts are remarkably shrewd and suggestive. Such men, and their Editions of S atutes, tend very greatlv to improve the laws they expound, and powerfully assist the objects of the legislature." — Law Mag., Feb. 1855. " We have now before us the work of Mr. Finlason, whose previous labours in expounding other statutes entitle him to the favourable consideration of the pro- fession. The notes to the various new enactments are very full and valuable."— Legal Obsebter, Jan. 6, 1855. "His work is well done."— Law Times, Jan. 6, 1855. Smith's llercantile law.

" Fortunately for the Profession, the new edition has been intrusted to gen- tlemen, of whom one is well known, not only as a ripe and accomplished lawyer, (doctrina malidus,) but as a judicious editor, knowing how to withhold as well as how to apply his hand. Amid the present plague of reports, mere industry is not sufficient to qualify even a second-rate editor. " It is evident that the editors have not been blinded by their respect for the author, but have altered, corrected, and amended, wherever they have seen occa- sion. Such a course could not be pursued safely upon a small stock of learning or of judgment; and in our opinion, it has been pursued, not only with safety, but with manifest advantage to the book; so that the fourth edition of Starkie is to the existing law, what the first edition was to the law in 1824. "We wish we had some means of identifying Mr. Malcolm's portions of the work. As it is, being hitherto unknown in authorship, he must be content with the praise of having borne a part where all was good."— Jurist.

PREFAC E. The original edition of this work, based upon the prac- tice consequent upon the Orders of August and October, 1852, was published in November, 1854. That edition was rapidly exhausted, and a sufficient demand existed to have warranted a second edition, which the Compiler was preparing to publish, having collected many fresh and useful precedents, and having far advanced in the MSS for the printer, when an inti- mation of " New Orders " arrested his progress. By the fact of the Orders of the 30th January, 1857, creating a lower and higher scale, it becomes evident that all bills of costs which have been inciirred in the in- terval between Michaelmas Term, 1852, and 1st Feb., 1857, will have to be taxed upon the system under which the Masters acted in that interval. For the purpose, therefore, of facilitating the practitioner in drawing his bm diuring that period, as well as under the new system of the lower and higher scales, the Compiler has framed the work so as to make it readily useful imder each system; and he has adopted a classification by which any one consulting the book can see at a glance the charge allowed, without needless prolixity of reference. As a general instruction, where any doubt exists in drawing bills in accordance with the precedents, the higher fee named in either column should be charged ; and, where special circumstances arise, the Order of 2nd IV PREFACE. Feb., 1855, and the general direction given by the Or- ders of 30th Jan., 1857, see Appendix, p. vi., as to bills, answers, examinations, affidavits, and petitions, should be perused before completing the bill. As care and accuracy are essential features in a work of this character, the Compiler begs to say that he has endeavoured to act up to these requirements in the pre- paration of this edition ; and, though he cannot expect to have performed his labours without a few errors creep- ing in, yet, on the whole, he believes he has compiled a trustworthy guide. K C. 12, New Boswell-couht, 16th, March, 1857. PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION. The great and material changes in Chancery Practice, consequent upon the Orders of Michaelmas Term, 1852, and those of more recent date, have considerably altered Bills of Costs, both in form and feature ; the subject- matter in many instances being fresh, independently of a new method of procedure. The Compiler of the fol- lowing work has himself experienced the want of some text-book in the ordinary cases of practice, which might be relied upon as having undergone the test of use. To meet this want (which, not without reason, he thinks exists), he has arranged this work, hoping it may be found serviceable on the subject on which it treats. The Precedents have been framed from actual practice, and, for the most part, have gone through the ordeal of taxa- tion. The effort of the Author has been to compile a short, practical guide for office use, at a moderate ex- pense ; and, with the hope that this effort may prove successful and serviceable, he ventures forth the work to the support of the profession.

In all other cases solicitors are to be entitled to charge and be allowed the fees set forth in the column headed Higher Scale in the First Schedule hereto, unless the Court shall make order to the contrary as to all or any of the parties. 4. The fees of Court, now collected by means of stamps, are to be reduced and varied as set forth in the Third Schedule hereto. The fees set forth in the column headed Lower Scale in the Third Schedule hereto are to be paid in all cases in which the Lower Scale of fees is to be charged by and allowed to solicitors, under the provisions of the second section of this Order; and the fees of Court set forth in the column headed Higher Scale in the Third Schedule herAo are to be paid in all other cases. The solicitor or party instituting any proceeding in respect of which he claims to pay the fees of Court according to the Lower Scale, is to file with the Clerk of Records and Writs a certificate in the form hereunder set forth, of which certificate the Clerk of Records and Writs is, at the request of any IV APPENDIX. solicitor, or any party acting in person, in the snit or matter, to mark a copy.
