GAZETTE

A general misconception prevails among young students especially those who have not yet touched on conveyancing that succession prior to the Succession Act 1965 is of historic interest only. It is well, therefore, that intestate succession to Realty and Personalty prior to 1967 is covered to a fair extent in Chapter 12. The subjects of the four Chapters in Part 4 — Licences, Servitudes, Covenants and Security, compress an amount of law into a readable and understandable exposition. However, in Section 25 of Chapter 18, the statement to the effect that a prior registered mortgage may not take priority over a subsequent unregisterable one demands an explanation or an instance of the rare circumstances where this might occur. Subject to the points made above being dealt with in an errata/addenda sheet, this book would serve as a useful primer for Law Students preparing for academic or professional examinations. However, Law Students would be ill-advised to treat it as a substitute for Wylie. The book will be welcomed particularly by students of courses for Auctioneers', Surveyors', Bankers' and Building Societies Officials' Institutes'examinations and in addition should prove an eminently readable book for the interested layman. The marathon task of writing a book for students on the basic concepts of Land Law under the constraint of space must not be underestimated. It is a useful addition to the expanding collection of Irish Law Texts. Mary B. P. O'Mahoney •
