Second Edi UNIFORM COMP WITH 01. PRE ADDENDA TO CUMPANI FREVEDENIS." By FRANCIS BEAUFORT PALMER, Of the Inner Temple, Esq., Barrister-at-Law; AUTHOR OF "COMPANY PRECEDENTS," &c. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. "There are few writers on company law whose authority is less frequently questioned than that of Mr. Palmer. His interpretation of the new Act is a very lucid one, and he points out the alterations in so terse a manner that no reader can fail to grasp their true significance. His book is one which all those who are interested in public companies will find it very necessary to keep at hand."-Financial News. .... "This book will be indispensable in considering the new requirements, and how they are to be met."-Solicitors' Journal. 66 Anyone who has studied the new Companies Act will be struck by the numerous requirements necessary under its provisions. Mr. Palmer's well-known experience as a company lawyer, author, and draftsman, will render the present volume a welcome addition to legal literature. No less than thirty-four forms on matters arising under the statute will be found in the appendix, and besides these and the annotated Act the author has added addenda to the various volumes of his Company Precedents, indicating how far the law and practice set forth in that work has been affected. It is essentially a book that all interested in companies or company law should procure."-Law Times. "Few people are better qualified to write on this subject than the author of this excellent work. The notes on the various sections of the new Act are concise and yet full. While it is an ideal book for practitioners, its clearness of expression should make it invaluable to laymen." -Law Journal. "Mr. Palmer has established such a unique reputation in company law that it is to his book that lawyers and laymen will naturally turn first for guidance as to the provisions of the new Companies Act; and they will not be disappointed. Mr. Palmer writes with his usual full knowledge and mastery of the subject. It is too late now to discuss the policy or wisdom of the Act. For better or worse the Legislature has passed the measure, and all that can be done is to ascertain the precise legal effect and practical bearing of the provisions of the Act. This Mr. Palmer has done very fully, and, what is perhaps even better, he has smoothed the path of the practitioner by a number of very useful forms." -Law Quarterly Review.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. "Despite his many competitors, Mr. Palmer Holds solely sovereign sway and masterdom,' and he does so by reason of his thoroughness, his practical good sense, and his familiarity with the business as well as the legal side of his subject.”—Law Quarterly Review. "Mr. Palmer's works on Company Law are all beyond criticism. He knows more of the subject than, perhaps, any other member of the legal profession. His books have for many practical purposes been treated as being, in fact, the very law itself. It is a subject for congratulation of all concerned that this book has been brought up to date, and that the important statute 63 & 64 Vict. c. 48-upon which Mr. Palmer has written a separate treatise-is now considered throughout the text."-Law Magazine. "These volumes will form the standard authority on the particular aspect of Company Law with which they deal... It is not often that the draftsman finds that Palmer's Forms do not contain what he requires, whilst the Notes are admitted on all hands to contain a mine of information on the details of Company Law."-Law Journal. "The new edition of Mr. Palmer's work is a distinct improvement even upon its excellent and unrivalled predecessors, and we can confidently recommend it to the Profession and to all others interested in Company Law."-Law Times. "This edition of the indispensable' Palmer' bears many traces of the care which has been bestowed upon it, both in the way of re-arrangement of the introduction of New Forms and other fresh matter. Company drafting is the last development of Conveyancing, and Mr. Palmer, who has had so large a share in its development, spares no pains to make the results suggested by recent experience accessible to the Profession.... Mr. Palmer's work is of the highest utility as a book of Precedents, and it is interesting also by reason of his discussion of important questions in Company Law."-Solicitors' Journal. "The sixth edition of this work is one more evidence of the high appreciation in which this classic of the Companies Acts is held."-Financial News. .... "To estimate the value of Mr. Palmer's book, we have only to picture to ourselves what would be the condition of Company promoters, directors, vendors, syndicates and other such persons without it. The value of the book is too well recognized both in the Profession and out of it to need any recommendation. . . . . It would be difficult to name any law book which has been more successfuland deservedly successful-than these Company Precedents of Mr. Palmer. The flowing tide of company enterprize floated him into popularity, and Mr. Palmer knew how to take advantage of it. It is by the care which he has bestowed upon every edition, and by his ready adaptation of his forms to the growing wants of the commercial world-not by any mere good luck-that he has maintained and maintains his prestige as a company lawyer."-The Law Quarterly.
