Marsden on Collisions at Sea. Ninth edition. By Andrew Dewar Gibb, LL.B. London :. Stevens & Sons, Ltd. lxxxiii and 606 pp. (405. net.)

The last edition of this famous treatise was published ten years ago, since when there have been numerous deeisions of importance and much new statute law. The book has been very competently revised by Mr. Gibb, who has extended his activities as a legal author on matters of collision from the land to the sea. He has decided to attribute to helm orders the same meaning as that which they bore before the Merchant

Shipping Act of 1932 turned them inside out. The text has therefore not been changed to correspond with existing practice in this matter. Mr. Gibb justifies this conclusion on the ground that there has not yet been time to appreciate the effect of the alteration of helm orders, and that all the cases in which these orders are discussed were decided before 1932. Some day or other a future editor of ' Marsden ' will have to come to a decision on the best method of handling this question, but Mr. Gibb seems to have acted wisely in this instance.

The Law of Master and Servant. Second edition. By F. Raleigh Batt. 1933. London: Sir Isaac Pitman & Sons, Ltd. xxxiv and 488 pp. (125. Qd.)

This book has already established its reputation. The student world knows it best in connexion with the Bar Examinations, but it is a more solid treatise than a mere examination text-book. Professor Batt is a firm admirer of the genius of the Common Law without being complaoent in his belief in its perfection. It is his conviction that the Common Law can best be studied by the detailed treatment of a specific topic. A subject covering such a wide range of human activity as the relationship of Master and Servant is particularly suitable for this purpose. The new edition contains some important alterations and is entirely up to date.
