The arrangement and printing are particularly clear, the choice of cases is marked by great discretion, and a short analysis of the law of various departments dealt with in the book is set forth with a view to refreshing the reader’s knowledge on the subject before he turns to read the cases which are set out.” (Law Coach)
- “The present work has the merits of thoroughness, accuracy, systematic arrangement and a modern point of view.” (Solicitors Journal).
