causes. One of these is also indexed under Trade Marks and two of them under Copyright Law under which title also appears one other section. Thus eight sections in all may be of especial interest to the patent specialist. Although in several other sections patent litigation is mentioned. No reference is made to suits under R. S. 4915 or 4918 and indeed the book is useful rather as an introduction for the general practitioner who has an occasional case in the Federal Courts.

Correction sheets are included for the text to incorporate the statutory changes as late as the Act of June 7, 1926 and the Judicial Code as amended by the last Congress is reprinted in the appendix. As in the former editions the portions of the Code relating to geographical limits of Districts and times and places of holding court have been omitted but all is set out that is necessary to show the jurisdiction and procedure of the Federal Courts.

It is interesting to note that the text of the book considers sixty three sections of the Judicial Code and only twenty six of the Equity Rules which may indicate that many of the Equity Rules as promulgated by the Supreme Court are of little consequence and might just as well be omitted as far as they control procedure in the Federal Courts.

This is the first book to appear setting out the changes in procedure wrought in appeals, certiorari and certificates of law questions by the Act of Feb. 13, 1925 and aș such it is of interest and use to all who have to do with the Courts of the United States.
