An Essay on the Principles of Circumstantial Evidence. By the
late William Wills. Fifth Edition. Edited by his Son, Sir Alfred Wills, Knight, one of his Majesty's Judges of the High Court of Justice. (Butterworth and Co. 12s. 6d.)—This valuable work on evidence was originally published in 1888 by the father of Mr. Justice Wills, and since that date it has been largely used in successive editions in England and in pirated editions in .America. The vast experience of its learned editor, who nearly fifty years ago published a still valuable book on the powers and duties of parish Vestries, is a guarantee of the practical usefulness of the work to the legal profession; while the manner in which it suggests the key to intricate and fascinating problems of circumstantial evidence will recommend the volume to those who write problem plays and novels.
