SMITH, ELDER ^V^TD CO.
MISCELLANEOUS.
ANNALS OF BRITISH
LEGISLATION, a Classified Summary
of Parliamentary Papers. Ed.
by Professor Leone Levi. The
yearly issue consists of 1,000 pages,
super royal 8vo, and the
Subscription is Two Guineas, payable in
advance. The Thirty-second Part
is just issued, commencing the
Third Year’s Issue. Volumes I. to
IV. may be had, price 4I. 4s. cloth.
"A series that will, if it he always managed as
I it now is by Professor Levi, last as long as there
remains a Legislature in Great Britain. These
Annals are to give the essence of work done and
information garnered for the State during each
legislative year, a summary description of every
Act passed, a digest of the vital facts contained
in every Blue Book issued, and of all documents
relating to the public business of the country.
The series will live, while generations of men die,
if it be maintained in its old age as ably and as
conscientiously as it is now in its youth."—
Examiner.
"The idea was admirable, nor does the
execution fall short of the plan. To accomplish this
effectively, and at the same time briefly, was not
an easy task; but Professor Levi has undertaken
it with great success. The work is essentially a
guide. It will satisfy those persons who refer to
it merely for general purposes, while it will direct
the research of others whose investigations take
a wider range."—Athenæum.
