The Law of Maritime Liens. By Griffith Price. London:
Sweet & Maxwell, Ltd. 1940. xxiii and 264 pp. (25s.)
Maritime liens possess an international character and this has not been lost sight of by Mr. Price, who has made a praiseworthy attempt to deal with the subject from a comparative standpoint. In this he has not been altogether successful because his work does not result in the
synthesis which should be the aim of every comparative lawyer. The best
part of his book is that dealing with the English law of maritime liens. It contains a lucid and accurate statement of a very involved and difficult branch of the law. He has, in particular, brought together a considerable amount of material previously hidden away in the general text-books on Maritime Law. The chapters on the law of France, Germany and the United States describe the rules of those systems and to that extent are
valuable, but the author has been content to leave the matter there without
attempting to draw any conclusions from his comparison. There is also an interesting chapter on the progress of the attempts which have been made to unify the law. The book should be useful to practitioners and
may be recommended to all who require a guide through the intricacies of a very complicated branch of the law.

Handbook of Admiralty Law in the United States. By Gustavus H. Robinson, Professor of Law, Cornell Law School. St. Paul, Minn.: West Publishing Co. 1939. xiii and 1025 pp.
This volume, published in the ' Hornbook Series', deals with a wide
range of subjects, including Carriage of Goods by Sea and General Average, which are not usually regarded as Admiralty Law in this country. With the exception of procedure in the Admiralty Courts the book covers all the topics which could be brought under the heading of the Law of the Sea. Professor Robinson is to be congratulated on his treatise, which is well planned, comprehensive and clearly written. It will be welcomed by English maritime lawyers who need an up-to-date account of the law of the United States, especially in view of recent American legislation such as the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act, 1936, which concerns us somewhat closely. Admiralty Law is much the same on both sides of the Atlantic, but there are differences; and it is important that we should be aware of them in order to avoid the pitf alls which lie concealed under the appearance of general similarity. This handbook will be found to be a valuable guide for that purpose.
