As scholars and as editors Messrs. Abdy and Walker have done their work well. . . . For one thing the editors deserve special commendation. They have presented Gaius to the reader with lew notes, and those merely by way of reference or necessary explanation. Thus the Roman jurist is allowed to speak for himself, and the reader feels that he is really studying Roman law in the original, and not a fanciful representation of it. — Alheiiseum. 2. (Trans.) The Institutes of Justinian, with Notes, Lon., 1876, cr. 8vo. \Ve welcome here a valuable contribution to the study of jurisprudence. The text of the Institutes is occasionally perplexing, even to practised scholars, whose knowledge of classical models does not always avail them in dealing with the technicalities of legal phraseology. Nor can the ordinary dictionaries be expected to furnish all the help that is wanted. This translation will then be of great use. To the ordinary student, whose attention is distracted from the subject-matter by the difficulty of struggling through the language in which it is contained, it will be almost indispensable.—Spectator. Abdy-Williams, E. M. See Wishaw, Mrs. B. M. AbDY-WiLLIAMS, infril. A'Beckett, Arthur William, b. 1844, at Port- land House, Hammersmith, London, son of Gilbert Abbott A'Beckett, [see ante, vol. i., Beckett, Gilbert Abbott a,] was a clerk in the War Office 1862-64, but gave up that position to edit the Glow-Worm, a Lon- don evening paper, and has edited other periodicals. He was special correspondent of the Globe and the Standard during the Franco-Prussian war, and since 1874 has been on the staff of Punch. In 1882 he was called to the bar. He has contributed to periodicals, and is the author of several plays acted on the London stage. 1. Fallen among Thieves : a Novel of Interest, Lon., 1870, 3 vols. p. 8vo. 2.

A'Beckett, Sir William, 1806-1869, [«»(«, vol. i., see Becket, William a,] eldest son of William A'Beck- ett, and brother of Gilbert Abbott A'Beckett, [</. c, ante, vol. i.,] was born in London, educated at Westminster School, and called to the bar in 1829. He emigrated to New South Wales, and was successively solicitor-general and attorney-general of that colony. In 1851 he was appointed chief-justice of Victoria, and knighted. In 1863 he returned to England, where he died. In addi- tion to the work mentioned in vol. i. and a number of contributions to The Georgian Era, he published : 1. The Siege of Dumbarton Castle, and other Poems, 1824. 2. The Magistrate's Manual for the Colony of Victoria, Melbourne, 1852. 3. Out of Harness, Lon., 1854. 4.

Linguistic Essays, (English arid Foreign Philosophical Library, and Triibner's Oriental Series,) Lon., 1882, 8vo. A suggestive book, which brings forward a side of philology which does not receive much attention in Eng- land. Most of the essays, if not all, have already appeared in Germany.—Athenseum, No. 2865. 3. Slavic and Latin : Ilchester Lectures on Compara- tive Lexicography, delivered at the Taylor Institution, Oxford, Lon., 1883, 8vo. About his acquaintance with the languages which he discusses in the volume now' before us there can be no dis- pute, and we may well be grateful to him for his labours$
