THE

REVIEW

of the provisions of the South African Companies Act and Income Tax Act.
It does not purport to be a work of deep scholarship but is essentially-and
successfully-practical in its approach.
It
should prove indispensable to com-
pany secretaries and useful to lawyers and accountants. It will also be
valuable to English practitioners who are in any way concerned with
South
African companies, enabling them to ascertain with ease the major respects
in which the South African legislation and practice differ from those of the
United Kingdom. The authors are to be congratulated on
a
worthwhile project
well carried out.

THOSE
who have used this American book in the past will need no recommenda-
tion to the second edition which has now appeared, revised in the light
of
the
long-awaited and more-than-welcome ratification by the United States of the
Universal Copyright Convention. Those who have yet to make its acquaintance
can be assured that they will here find an admirably clear and helpful guide to
the intricacies
of
American copyright practice. Nor, despite the title, need
English lawyers think that they should ignore it when called upon to advise
their literary clients. This book will not enable them to get away with any-
thing
so
rash as posing as experts on the knottier points of American copyright
law but it will enable them to advise authors and publishers how to avoid
becoming entwined in those knots. This book seems to me to be
a
model
of
what
a
practice manual should be.
I
wish we had an equally useful book on
English practice.
