Staunton, who, by the way, was a clerk in holy orders) said: 'Good people, you cannot agree?' and (to John Allan, his marshal) 'Go and put them in a house until Monday, and not let them eat or drink.' The perils of a professional man were considerable also in those times, for in Brothe v. Tallard we find the same judge on a wife's writ of dower against C, who came into Court by attorney, addressing the man of law thus: 'Fair friend, have you sued a writ?' and on the attorney saying that he had but had delivered the bill which witnessed it to his client and praying a postea, Staunton, J., broke out thus: 'You wicked rascal, you shall not have it! But because to delay the woman from her dower, you have vouched and have not sued a writ to summon your warrantor, this Court awards that you go to prison * * * We will have no mainprise, but stay in gaol till you are well chastised.' These are from the records of just six hundred years ago, but they seem to find echoes in our Courts even at the present day."

Eviction by Bedbugs.-An action was brought to recover a sum alleged to be due as rent under a lease for an apartment which had been abandoned. Defendant introduced evidence showing that the apartment, including the beds and closets, and all the rooms, was overrun with bedbugs and other vermin of great industry and as- siduity. The apartment was. not under plaintiff's control, and no covenant against vermin appeared in the lease. The Supreme Court of New York in Jacobs v. Morand, 110 New York Supplement 208, held that the presence of vermin in the house does not constitute eviction so as to justify abandonment of the premises by the tenant

BOOK REVIEWS.

Pollard's Code Biennial, 1908, containing all statutes of a general and permanent nature passed by the General Assembly of Virginia at its sessions of 1906 and 1908, also annotations to the Code of Virginia, 1904, and the Constitution and Tax Bill. Edited by John Garland Pollard of the Richmond Bar. For sale exclusively by Everett Waddey & Co. Richmond, Va. 1908. Price $6.00.

Pollard's Code Biennial is not only now an institution, but a necessity. Its importance to the lawyer who wishes to be "up to date" and to save the time spent in examination necessitated by the vast growth of statute law and decisions in the State of Virginia, is incalculable. The present work-superseding the edition of 1906- gives the amendments or repeal of 377 Sections of the Code of 1904 and one hundred and forty-six independent acts of a general and permanent nature. The annotations cover 102 to 107 Va.-194 to

207 U. S.-129 to 157 Federal Reporter, and "The Virginia Law Regis- ter," Vols. 9 to 13-all inclusive, to which the editor has added com- ments and forms of his own. The painstaking care, clarity and conciseness of statement which characterizes Mr. Pollard's work is apparent. He knows how to logically arrange and systematize his subjects and the book is a model whose value grows with each use. Virginia is indeed fortunate in having a lawyer whose infinite ca- pacity for taking pains is brought to the codification and annotating of her Legislature's work.

Ideals of the Republic. By James Schouler, L.L.D., Author of "His- tory of the United States," etc., etc. Boston, Little Brown & Co. 1908. Price $1.50.

This volume is timely, interesting and suggestive. The author's purpose to trace out those fundamental ideas, social and political, to which America owes peculiarly her progress and prosperity, and to consider the application of those ideas to present conditions, is well carried out. Composed of occasional lectures delivered at Johns Hopkins University, where the learned author had for seventeen years been connected with its Historical Department, the historic method of treatment was to have been expected. The author com- mencing with the Rights of Human Nature, leads the reader in a series of coherent, well-written and well-conceived articles to a consideration of the American Ideals of Government. Its tone is one of distinct optimism, its criticisms sound and its suggestions worthy of consideration. The excellent matter is set in readable, clear, type and the book one to be enjoyed by the mind and eye alike.

The American and English Annotated Cases, containing the impor- tant cases selected from the current American, Canadian and English Reports. Thoroughly Annotated. Edited by Wm. M. McKinney, Editor of Encyclopedia of Pleading and Practice, and David S. Garland, Editor of the American and English Ency- clopedia of Law, Second Edition, and H. Noyes Greene. Vol. X. Edward Thompson Company, Northport, L. I., New York. 1908. Price $5.00.

Volume Ten of this series continues the admirable electic system of selection characteristic of the preceding volumes, the courts of England, Canada, the United States and the various States of the Union contributing decisions from their courts of last resort. Eight cases from 106 Virginia are contained in this volume and are most admirably annotated. There is hardly a practical question of law decided within the last few years which is not touched upon, eluci- dated or alluded to in this excellent work, whose volumes as they appear, keep the case law of general interest up to date, and in such shape as most facilitates its use.

The Law of Evidence in Civil Cases. By Burr W. Jones, of the Wisconsin Bar, Professor of the Law of Evidence in the College of Law of the University of Wisconsin. Second Edition. San Francisco. Bancroft-Whitney Company. 1908. Price $6.50.

The first edition of this work-which appeared in three small vol- umes in 1896-was received with deserved approval at the hands of the profession. The demand for a second edition has been met by its issuance in one volume. The rules of law' are stated tersely,
