Vacher's Stamp Duties' Digest for 1871. By Gualter C. Griffith.
(Vacher.)—The value of this work to business men of all classes may be estimated from the fact that, although every effort has been made to obtain conciseness, and despite of the most judicious arrangement, it has taken Mr. Griffith more than 200 pages to state with sufficient clearness the nature of the Stamp Duties as affected by the Stamp Act and Stamp Duties' Management Act of 1870, with the numerous modifications and exemptions then introduced. The general confusion and misapprehen- sion existing in the public mind on these matters are notorious, espe- cially in country districts, and as Mr. Griffiths' qualifications as a bar- rister who passed the Inns-of-Court examination with credit, and an Inland Revenue official of some years' standing, afford a guarantee of accuracy, this convenient little handbook is certain to take rank once as a standard work of reference.
