The Harvard Law Review.

Numbers of volume I. of the Harvard Law Review, which was started last year, and so ably conducted by its editors, appeared on Monday. It contains an admirable discussion by Professor C. C. Langdell, entitled "A Brief Survey of Equity Jurisdiction," a continuation of a paper which appeared in the preceding number. This article is one of great philosophical depth, and though beyond the comprehension of the layman, is a very lucid exposition for the members of the profession. Mr. F. J. Stimson contributes a paper on "Trusts," in which he makes a very strong case against the irresponsible corporations which have grown up and become such a feature in the American business world. He points out forcibly the unfairness of permitting such institutions to continue under their present form. The practical experience of the Standard Oil Trust and of the Cottonseed Oil Trust are quoted as among the most glaring instances of this nuisance. Some interesting data about the Law School and recent cases make up the rest of on admirable number.
