RECENT PERIODICAL LITERATURE
IT
is hoped, in future issues of THE
MODERN
LAW REVIEW, to
print short reviews of articles in periodicals, both British
and American. The present note, however, can, for reasons
of space, be little more than
a
list.
We may mention the following, grouped according
to
subject-matter.
Jurisprudence.
DR.
F.
A.
MANN:
Th; Interpretation
of
Uniform Statutes,
62
L.Q.R.
278;
the author suggests that
statutes which give effect to international conventions should
not be interpreted according to the domestic rules of inter-
pretation of the various States concerned, but uniformly
so
as
not to diminish the value of the conventions. DR.
GLAN-
VILLE
L.
WILLIAMS
:
A
Lawyer’s
‘
Alice
’,
9
Camb.L.J.
171
;
this
is
a
delightful transposition of part
of
Alice’s Adventures
in Wonderland
from the mathematical and philosophical
into the legal key. SIGMUND TIMBERG
:

logical, social, and international implications,
46
Col.L.Rev.

Temple L.Q.
390.
Roman Law and Legal History.
DR. DAVID DAUBE:
Sponsor and the History of Contract,
62
L.Q.R.
266.
The
question dealt with is this: does the narrow technical
meaning of ‘sponsor’ reflect an early equally narrow
meaning of ‘spondere’ as has been urged in support of the
view that stipulation originated as suretyship
?
KOPEL
KAGAN
:
The Nature of Ususfructus,
9
Car1b.L.J.
159;
the
author suggests that it
is
not merum ius and proposes
to
develop the theme in a further article.

of
Land in the Reign
of

I,
