Journal of the Franklin Institute. Philadelphia. Edited by Thomas P. Jones, M. D. In this Journal, Dr. Jones gives a list of Patents granted, some of the Specifications at length; and remarks upon the patents, with occasional reports of patent cases, and communications relating to the subject of Patent rights. Traité des Brevets D'Invention, &c. A Treatise concerning Patents for Inventions, for Improvements and for Importations, [inventions introduced from abroad] followed by an Appendix, containing the Laws and regulations enacted in France, an abstract of the English Legislation; the Laws of the United States and of Spain. By Augustin Charles Renouard, Advocate of the Court Royal of Paris. Paris: 1825. This is the most elaborate work on Patents that has been published in France, which has come to my knowledge. The treatise consists of 417 pages, 8vo., and the Appendix of 84 pages. It has not, to my knowledge, been translated into English. It will be found to be frequently cited in the following treatise. De La Legislation et de la Jurisprudence, &c. Of the Legislation and the Jurisprudence concerning Patents for Inventions, Improvements and Importations. By Theodore Regnault. Paris: 1825, 8vo. The French Law and Practice of Patents, for Inventions, Improvements, and Importations. By A. Perpigna, A. M. L. B., Barrister in the Royal Court of Paris, Member of the Society for the Encouragement of the Arts, &c. Paris: 1832. This is the title of the work in English, published by the author in France. It consists of 142 pages, large 8vo., and is a very useful practical treatise on the French Patent Laws for English and American inventors, who wish to become acquainted with those Laws, for whose use it is particularly designed. The work has been reprinted in the "Law Library," published in Philadelphia, and makes a part of the fourth volume of that collection. Law of Patent Inventions. By Blanc de St. Bonnet. Treatise on Patents. By Cochaud. The Law of Patents for Inventions, familiarly explained for the use of Inventors and Patentees. By W. Carpmael. London: 1832. Second Edition, 1836. The contents of this work are arranged under the following heads, viz. Patents, Caveats, Proceedings in taking out Patents, the Specification, the Act of 5 and 6 W. IV, c. 83. (1835) and observations upon it, an Analysis of, and Remarks upon British Patents, Legal Proceedings upon Patents, and Observations upon Patent Laws and the manner of trying Patent causes, with a very full Appendix of Forms. It consists of 128 pages, large 8vo. The author's remarks upon the application of a principle on the subject of a patent, constitute a valuable part of his work. Report from the Select Committee, on the Law relating to Patents for Inventions, ordered by the House of Commons to be printed June 12th, 1829. This Report consists of 260 closely printed pages, folio, of which 160 comprise the statements of twenty different persons, barristers at law, engineers, manufacturers, and clerks employed in the patent department, and persons conversant with the practice of taking out patents, viz. John Taylor, Davies Gilbert, John Farey, Mr. Dyer, Mark Isambard Brunel, Arthur Aikin, Charles Few, Francis Abbott, William Newton, Moses Poole, Joseph Merry, Samuel Morton, Samuel Clegg, John Millington, Walter Henry Wyatt, John Macarthy, Benjamin Rotch, John Isaac Hawkins, Arthur Howe Holdsworth, and Thomas Aspinwall. The Statements of Mr. John Farey and Mr. Benjamin Rotch are very full on the subject of the defects in the British patent law, and the difficulties of sustaining a patent in trials at law. The remaining part of the Report is an Appendix furnished by Mr. John Farey, who appears to be thoroughly acquainted with the British and other patent laws, and the practice in taking out patents, and the trials of patent causes. This Appendix comprises the British legislation on Patents, general and special, down to 1829; reports of the most important patent causes in the English courts; and the legislation on this same subject in France, the Netherlands, Austria, and Spain. The work contains a great body of practical information on patent laws and the practice under them. It is cited in various places in the following treatise, and in some instances in the earlier part by mistake, as a report of 1832 instead of 1829. LIST OF CASES. Ames v.
