SAINT GERMAIN'S DOCTOR AND STUDENT; or,
Dialogues between a Doctor of Divinity and a Student in
the Laws of England, containing the grounds of those Laws:
together with Questions and Cases concerning the Equity thereof.
To which are added two pieces concerning Suits in Chancery by
Subpcnna. By Christopher Saint Germain. Revised and cor-
rected by William Muchall.      I vol. 8vo. Cloth,           3 00

  The first part of this work originally appeared in Latin, about the year
x518, and was subsequently translated into English by the author, who
wrote a second part in English about 1530. Each of these part., however,
passed through several editions before they were united in one volume.
The present edition contains many judicious references to modern work.,
and two additional tracts of Saint Germain on Suits in Chancery by Sub-
pcena. The author explains many of the grounds and reasons of the law
in a sound and intelligible manner, and all seeming hardships and diffi-
culties in cases of nheritance, Contract, Warranty, Wreck, Actions
Feigned, etc., are made easy.
  "This work has always been a great favorite with me. I have fre-
quently read it, and never without renewed pleasure and profit. I con-
sider it a most invaluable book-one of the best in our libraries-and no
earnest student should be without it, in order not only to make himself
master of it, but to have it for ready and constant reference. I admire
greatly the taste with which your publications are presented to the pro-
fession, in their style and typography."-Hon. George Sh-arsood.
  "This work of Saint Germain may be read and studied to advantage
and profit by any one who would master the science of ethics in its con-
nection with that of government and law."- Hon. Emory Washburn.
  "The ' Dialogue between a Doctor of Divinity and a Student in Law'
was written by Saint Germain in the reign of Henry VIII., and discusses,
in a popular manner, many principles and points of common law. The
seventeenth edition of this work was published in 1787, and dedicated to
the younger students and professors of law. It has always been consid-
ered by the courts and the best judicial writers, as a book of merit and
authority. The form of writing by dialogue was much in use among the
ancients, and some of the finest treatises of the Greeks and Romans were-
written in this form."-i Kent, 504.
  " I must not forget, among the subsidiary books, that of Saint Germain,
called ' Doctor and Student,' because it is plain and intelligible, and the
points of law that are touched there are sound and well stated. Its ob-
ject is chiefly to prove that the rules of law are reconcilable with reason
and good conscience, and the arguments on this subject, between the Doc-
tor of Divinity and the Student in the Laws of England are treated in a
clear and popular manner."-Narth's Stedy of Ace Laws.
