THE STUDENTS' SERIES.

LITTLE, BROWN, AND COMPANY

Are now publishing, and will issue as rapidly as careful preparation will permit, a series of

ELEMENTARY LAW TREATISES

in which will be included the most important topics of law.

Volumes of the Students' Series are now being used, or
are about to be introduced, as Text-Books in a
number of important Law Schools.

In planning this series of law books for students, you have rendered a very great service, not only to the students themselves, but also to the profession. There has been no greater obstacle to all efforts for a higher standard of legal education than the lack of such books. I am very much interested, as a teacher of law, in the success of your series. It is easy enough to compile large books containing all the law of a topic like Torts; but to make a small book, containing just what a student wants, and no more, seems to me among the most difficult of tasks." - Prof. WILLIAM G. HAMMOND, Law Department, Iowa State University.

་

If these unpretending volumes, so full of instruction, are estimated at their true value, their sale and circulation will not be confined to the legal profession alone."- Hon. JOHN CROWELL, LL.D., President of Ohio State and Union Law College.

The plan needs only development to render it popular, and the four volumes now out are a worthy execution of it. ... Either volume would serve the purposes of a mature lawyer desiring to refresh his memory of the general principles of the subject.” —N. Y. TIMES.

"The style is attractive, the definitions concise and accurate, and the size of the volume so moderate as to be equally attractive both to the practitioner and the student."-From Hon. John Crowell, President of Ohio State and Union Law College, Cleveland.

AN ELEMENTARY TREATISE ON THE LAW OF TORTS. BY MELVILLE M. BIGELOW, author of "A Treatise on the Law of Estoppel," "A Treatise on the Law of Fraud," and Editor of "Leading Cases in the Law of Torts," &c. Third edition. Leatherette, $2.50 net; law sheep, $3.00 net.

"I have examined with much interest and pleasure Mr. Bigelow's little book on Torts, and it seems to me admirably adapted to the purpose for which it is written. Mr. Bigelow is very happy in his statement of legal principles, and nowhere so much so, I think, as in this book. I am glad to have the opportunity to welcome such good work.” Hon. Thomas M. Cooley.

"I have looked through this volume with particular interest, from my own experience in teaching the same topic; and I have no hesitation in saying that it is much better fitted for the student than any work on Torts we have had before. Mr. Bigelow's thorough familiarity with the subject is shown as well in what ho leaves out as in what he writes; and this is a point of first-rate importance in a student's book, where 'surplusage vitiates,' if nowhere else in the law."- Prof. William G. Hammond.

"Mr. Bigelow, in his clear and succinct statement of the duties of individuals toward each other as members of society, has made a valuable contribution to your Law Students' Series." - Hon. Morrison R. Waite, Chief Justice of the United States.

"Its methodical arrangement of the classes of torts, its clear style, and its simple manner of treatment render it specially useful to beginners in the study of law They have occasion to be thankful to Mr. Bigelow for his labor in their behalf."James B. Black, Central Law School of Indiana.

"It is the product of real thought and diligent labor; and the thought and labor have been too skilfully applied not to result in a substantial addition to legal litera ture." ."- Boston Daily Advertiser.

II. BIGELOW ON EQUITY.

"The arrangement and treatment of the subject are admirable." - From Samuel D. Davis, Professor of Law, Richmond College, Virginia.

ELEMENTS OF EQUITY FOR THE USE OF STUDENTS. BY MELVILLA M. BIGELOW, Author of "Law of Estoppel," "Law of Fraud," &c., &c. 12mo. Leatherette, $2.50 net; law sheep, $3.00 net.

"A clear and compact treatise, well fitted to be a manual of a student of law.' Hon. John Bascom, University of Wisconsin.

"I have examined Bigelow on Equity. It is to be commended for its clearness and conciseness of statement. I regard the first chapter as a model. The doctrines
