FOR SAVINGS BANKS.

A Law Manual for NotariES PUBLIC AND Bankers.—Mr. J. Smith Homans, of the Bankers' Magazine, has published an important work with the above heading. It includes a summary of the law and principles of commercial paper. The law of indorsement, negotiability, demand and protest, and the history of bills of exchange, with recent decisions of the United States Supreme Court and of the courts of several States in reference to bills and notes; to which is added a summary of the law of each State as to the of interest and to damages on protested bills of exchange, with the latest forms of protest and notices of protest. Notaries, cashiers, bank clerks, and express men, should study this manual carefully, and they may thereby save themselves much trouble and loss. They will find it much better to have the knowledge themselves than to depend on the hasty opinion of a lawyer, who may not have on hand the best "authorities or the decisions and statutes of the different States. Every commercial lawyer, however, will find the Manual an invaluable digest, and save him from wading through much extraneous matter in seeking its information in other quarters.-New York World, Sept. 14, 1867.

The New and Improved Edition of M'CULLOCH'S COMMERCIAL DICTIONARY, as revised and brought down to the present time.

From the time of the first publication, now nearly half a century ago, this great work has held its place without a rival among works of its class, as well for the fullness as for the accuracy of the information which it gives in every branch of Commercial Science.

In its present form the volume covers over 1600 closely printed pages, in double columns, with the different subjects arranged alphabetically, and it has been reset throughout. The work contains:
