Frederick K. Beutel.
Dean Frederick K. Buetel, of
the Nebraska Law College, has
recently prepared the seventh edi
tion of Brannan's Negotiable In
struments Law. The last two edi
tions were also revised by Dean
Beutel.
The comments by the author
have been greatly enlarged, re
vised and brought to date. Leading
cases from the mass of decisions
have been carefully selected.
Those which merely cite the sec
tions generally or fail to add any
thing to the contents, have been
eliminated; but all authorities
covering subsidiary questions of
law under the Act have been set
out in full
The material is arranged as
nearly as possible to conform
with the subject matter of the
Act, and for this reason is placed
under the subsections of the Act,
wherever possible. Side heads are
inserted to further classify the
material and to facilitate refer
ence to the subject matter.
Part one of the work is de
voted to a text treatment of the
history and interpretation of the
Bridge Tourney
N.I.L. by Dean Beute't. A brief
outline of the material follows:

grasp of the meaning of the Act,
as applied to any point,
a useful aid in interpreting the
law.
References to articles in all law
reviews are given so as to furnish
access to a more extensive discus
sion of the authorities. The work
also includes citations to A.I.R.
v. pM-rrtfr svstom. and a
mass of easily accessible source
material, all necessary in uu.
writing of briefs and learned ar
ticles. .
Another feature of this edition
Is the inclusion of the complete
English Bills of Exchange Act.
There are many references to the
B.EA. in the commissioner's
notes, and a comparison of the
two acts should reveal much of
the legislative history of the N.I.L.
Part one of the work also con.
tains the Act, with statutory var
iations, and cross-references to re
lated sections. This makes its
highly technical material more
"available" to the user and will
be a distinct aid where an in
dependent systematic interpreta
tion of the Act is desired. Tables
in part three enable a lawyer in
any state to easily locate his own
statutes.
