THE
present volume maintains the high standard of previous years. The
detailed index
is
a
particularly valuable feature. Points in the present,volume
which may interest English lawyers include an account
by
Mr.
C.
C.
Turpin
of
recent cases concerned with estoppel and mistake in the formation of
contracts;
a
lucid account by Professor Ellison Kahn of
the
recent treatment
by the courts of discretionary powers in administrative law; and Mr. Pollak's
note on the recognition
of
polygamous marriages. There
is,
of course, much
else
of
interest to the Roman-Dutch lawyer and, in particular, Professor
Scholtens' unique combination
of
historical erudition and deft analysis of
modern case law shows to advantage in the section on Property.

SINCE the appearance
of
the first edition of this work there has beeh a spate
of
case law and, to a lesser degree, statutory amendments as well as depart-
mental rulings dealing with various aspects of insolvency. The text has been
revised in the light
of
these innovations. The work is outstanding as
providing both theoretical and practical information. With this handbook to
guide him no trustee of an insolvent estate should be at
a
loss as to what is
to be done and in what order the various steps are to be taken.
