only owing to an inherent infirmity of the flesh that man stands in need of Law and Religion. We cannot help thinking that he was somewhat hampered by the special title of his paper, and that it should have been devoted to "Law" without the qualifying adjective.-A writer who, oddly enough, calls himself "Justum," and adopts "Fiat Justitia, ruat cœlum” as his motto, takes us to the Celestial Empire in his Two Episodes of Recent Anglo-Chinese History (James Bain, 1877), in which, by the instances of the Woosung Railway and the Ocean Case, he seems to wish to prove that English Policy in relation to China has been altogether wrong, and that of the Brother of the Sun and Moon, and his Mandarins, altogether right and commendable. "Fiat Justitia," when the Gods have decided where the right lies. The useful work of the "Revised Edition of the Statutes" (Vol. xi., Eyre & Spottiswoode, 1877), is continued in the last issue down to the effect of Repeals made as late as the close of the Session of 1876, and extends over the Acts of the three Sessions, covering the years 1851-53. A Table, in a separate form, is given with it, showing the extent of the Repeals contained in the previous ten volumes of this indispensable adjunct to the Practitioner's Library.
