NEW LAW OF JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES.

THE

SIXTH EDITION of the NEW LAW and PRACTICE of JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES and other ASSOCIATIONS, including Industrial Societies. By EDWARD W. COX, Esq., Recorder of Falmouth. Price 12s. 6d. cloth: 14s 6d. halfcalf; 15s. 6d. calf. This edition contains:

I. The Law and Practice of Joint-Stock Companies, with Instructions for their Formation and Management.

II. The Companies Act 1862, with Explanatory Notes.

III. The Industrial and Provident Societies Act 1862, with Notes.

IV. A Digest of Decisions on the Law of Joint-Stock Companies.

V. General Order and Rules of the High Court of Chancery.

VI. Conventions between Her Majesty and the Emperor of the French; and Her Majesty and the King of the Belgians.

"The work before us, by the well-known editor of the LAW TIMES, embraces, in a compact form, the latest development of joint stock companies' law, and therefore supplies exactly the want of the moment. The information it contains is adapted to all who may be interested in such matters. Inventors, projectors, speculators and investors, will here learn how to turn their hands to the work with a minimum of damage from the use of edged tools. Shareholders may learn at what angles of the labyrinth to look for passing glimpses of their subscribed capital, in the shape of returns;' directors, before assuming their perilous prominence, will become aware of their duties, powers, and-what has become of late a matter of some trifling interest-their liabilities; while creditors will be enlightened as to the parliamentary estimate of the touching simplicity of faith. There are, it is true, some little matters, not irrelevant to the subject, which this book does not contain, but that is no fault of the book, for they belong more strictly to the province of the most assiduous of monitorsexperience."-Manchester Examiner.
