My eyes upon thy radiant countenance hung; No more the fruits, the chase, the mart are mine: Whene'er thou com'st-access shall still be thine.'" Such a contribution as this to our stock of translations, ought to be cordially hailed, not only as an addition to genuine poetry, but as a mirror, so to speak, in which the German mind may be seen. ART. XXXV.- The Dukes of Normandy. By JONATHAN DUNCAN, Esq. B. A. London: Rickerby. 1839. MR. DUNCAN has ransacked a number of the best authorities, and produced as the result an exceedingly pleasant and instructive book of the kind, which we recommend to those who have made themselves conversant with the early stages in English History, as well as to juvenile readers and scholars. By the sketches of lives and manners extending from the "Time of Rollo to the Expulsion of King John, by Philip Augustus of France," more of refreshing romance, as well as of lights belonging to events and characters that have left an imperishable stamp, is afforded than will be at first expected. Upon a perusal of this small work, however, in which judicious treatment as well as careful research is obvious, the advantages and the pleasures we have referred to will be realized. ART. XXXVI.-Analysis of Savigny's Treatise on the Law of Possession. By Professor L. A. WARNKÖNIG. Edinburgh: Clark. 1839. THIS number of the Law Series of Clarke's "Cabinet Library of Scarce and Celebrated Tracts," contains an analysis of what is said to be one of the most remarkable production, in which the labours and discoveries of the modern jurists of continental Europe, in the department of the Roman law, have been turned to practical account. Savigny's treatise was published in 1803, and has gone through five editions, gradually receiving improvements and corrections. The analysis or abridgment of it, the translation of which is here given, is in French, and by one of the editors of the "Themis," this translation having been made, as we understand the Introductory Notice, for the "American Jurist." The notice says, speaking of the Analysis, " It will be found useful, not only to the student of the Roman law, but to the practical lawyer; and to the latter, more especially, for the reason, that most of the principles which relate to possession must necessarily be the same or similar in every system, and we have no separate treatise on this subject drawn from the fountains of the common law. The analysis is divided into three articles. The first contains an exposition of the plan of the work; the second is an abridgment of the system of the law of possession, adopted and developed by Savigny; and the third is devoted to the subject of interdicts, or the remedies for an injury to the possession."
