Abstract

1988] BOOK REVIEWS 583 men t of 1982 should not be using "British North America Act" to describe the Canadian constitution, re-named the "Constitution Act of 1867" in 1982. The author's mention of appeals direct from Aus­ tralian state supreme courts to the Privy Council has been super­ seded by the Australia Acts of 1986 (U.K. and Commonwealth), which abolished these appeals. Similarly, the writer's treatment of th e Canadian Senate and Canadian shared-cost programmes in­ volving Ottawa and the provinces may need some revision if the recent Meech Lake constitutional accords are implemented in Canada. These criticisms are minor though, and should not hide the fact tha t the book is a n important addition to th e library of anyone inter­ ested in Australia and Canada. The writer's scholarship is evident, his expertise assured. The text is more than adequately footnoted, and the footnotes are conveniently collected at the end of the book. Ther e is no separate Bibliography as such, but the Index seems com­ prehensive and helpful. The volume is nicely bound and printed on good quality paper. The print is reasonably sized, and should not unduly tax jaded eyes. There are remarkably few printing
