London: J. Weale, 1838. Architecture has its jurisprudence as well as medicine, and equally as connected with the rights of property, as a matter of police, it has been necessarily the subject of extensive legislation. Coming more within the province of the lawyer than of the builder, and being a subject in which the latter is not tarn Marie qiiam Mercurio, we derive the greater pleasure from seeing it in the hands of one who is best capable of doing justice to its technicalities. The utility of its study is so evident, that there is indeed scarcely a day in which its necessity is not impressed. Its extent, too, is so great, that almost every branch requires a separate treatise, and it comprehends the laws of contracts, awards, fixtui'es, dilapidations, nuisances, buildings, sewers, drainage, prescriptive right, highways, &c. Mr. Gibbon has already obliged the profession with a work on the law of fixtures, we are now indebted to him for one on dilapidations. It does not diminish the confidence derived from its predecessors, and is written in a plain and intelligible style, and sup- ported by numerous legal authorities. In the' introduction, the author has given a general view of the law on this subject, and then enters into the detail of its branches in the subsequent chapters. In the first chapter we find the law of dilapidation as it affects ecclesiastical structures and lands. The second exhibits, with equal skill, this law as it regards leases, either for life or dm-ing a term of years. From this chapter we shall make a few extracts, and show our readers with what ability Mr. Gibbon has treated
