"Mr. Fawcett has condensed within a single volume of moderate size, a full outline of political economy, and by means of familiar exposition of the fundamental principles of the science has much facilitated its study. . . . The clearness of his treatment of an extensive and difficult subject will render his book a valuable companion to the mercantile and political student, and its convenient size and illustrative style give it considerable advantage over more extensive and formal treatises."-Morning Post. 8vo. cloth, 18s. GENERAL VIEW OF THE CRIMINAL LAW OF ENGLAND: BY JAMES FITZJAMES STEPHEN, M.A. OF THE INNER TEMPLE, BARRISTER-AT-LAW, AND RECORDER OF NEWARK-ON-TRENT "It is only by a very happy and a very rare accident that such a book as Mr. Stephen's can be produced. Mr. Stephen treats of the Criminal Law of England so as to awaken in a high degree that peculiar interest which attaches to all descriptions of trials for great crimes, but he also examines with boldness and originality into the grounds on which the system of English Law is based, and takes the trouble not only to show how we come to have what we have, but how very considerable improvements might be introduced. There is no part of Criminal Law which he does not present to us as viewed by a mind capable of thinking for itself, and none which he does not illustrate by all the resources of a practical and vigorous style.”— Saturday Review.
