Abstract

BOOK REVIEWS just as it would be improper to ask whether a tenant for life or a person entitled to the land after his death owned the land itself." In the writer's opinion, this gift for clear, non-technical expression must in some measure at least stem from Professor Lawson's labors in comparative law. Accustomed to the various ways in which the Anglo-American and Romance laws have given different technical formulations to similar problems of order, he is more capable of going to the non-technical substance of the law than jurists whose experience with law is limited to one mode of its systematization. A word of caution must be given to American readers. Professor Lawson has written an introduction to English property law as it is today and certainly intended it primarily for English readers. Modern English property law has advanced so far beyond the American that the book cannot serve as the first book for students of American property law, but those American students and lawyers who are familiar with the basic framework of the traditional Anglo-American property law and that of the English reforms will find reading it an exceptionally enlightening and thought-provoking experi­ ence.
