French-English glossary of French Legal Terms on European Treaties. London, Sweet & Max- well, and Munich, Langenscheidt, 1972; 8vo; pp. 64; £1.50. This little glossary is absolutely indispensable to all practitioners who will have business to transact with the European Commission, or the European Court of Jus- tice. It is the twelfth volume of the European glossary of Legal and Administrative Terminology. It explains that a "demande reconventionelle" is a counterclaim and that a "decision á titre préjudiciel" is nothing less than a preliminary ruling. The practitioner who will have mastered the terms in this little book will have no difficulty in discussing legal problems with his French colleagues. The Lawyer's Diary—1972-1973 edited by J. F. Mason and Sweet & Maxwell's Legal Editorial Staff; London, Sweet & Maxwell, 1972; 8vo; pp. 190, plus single page diary for every working day (Monday to Friday). This is a complimentary volume to Butterworth's "Lawyer's Remembrancer" inasmuch as what is not contained in the one volume is likely to be contained in the other. This diary contains calendars from 1971 to 1975, and methods of ascertaining any day of the week from 1851 to 2000, it also contains English postal infor- mation, conveyancing costs, probate fees, bankruptcy lists, and British Income Tax. The large single page for appointments on working days is a great boon. The Lawyer's Remembrancer edited for 1973 by A. L.

Under Commer- cial Abbreviations, we find that "N / a" means no advice, whereas " n / a" stands for non-acceptance. The rules about counsels' fees, county court proceedings and costs, High Court proceedings and costs, etc., are clearly explained. It is interesting to note that under "Auc- tioneer's fees" the 5 per cent rate on sale only applies to the first £500, then there is a 2.5 per cent scale up to £5,000, and a 1.5 per cent on the residue; the uniform 5 per cent applied in Ireland is unknown. There are also useful notes on Registration of Title and searches and inquiries. Irish practitioners who wish to learn the current English practice in all these matters would be well advised to purchase this book.

This si an invaluable medium for the study of comparative law, as each legal subject has been edited by an expert in the subject, like Dr. Yardley for Fundamental Rights, Dr. Simpson for Real Property Law, Dr. Brownlie for International Law, and Dr. Paul O'Higgins for Labour Law; almost all of the writers are dons in either Oxford or Cambridge. There is an unfortunate tendency to dismiss Irish cases in a few lines, if not in a footnote, with the result that the Annual Survey of Commonwealth Law 1971.
