PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY
i OF LAW AND EQUITY, under the direc-

/ OF LAW AND Equity, under the direc-
ton of Francis J. Troubat esq, of Philadelphia
Hon Ellis Lewis, of Lancaster; and Wilson Nc
Candless, Esq, of Pittsburgh.
This work contains the best productions Of Eng
lish law authors, withoutregardto to priority Of claim
on the part of any American publisher Such books
arc now notoriously too dear. The reason is, that
as fast as they appear they become monopolies in
the hands of booksellers in the Atlantic cities. I'm
der the plea of right, acquired by the addition Of
notes OF American decisions, the latter claim un-
divided title to those works, and set burdensome
price on them. The publishers of the work now
offered to the profession throughout the Union will
not respect such titles, but will reprint the standard
British law books as fast they emanate from the
London market. Should new editions of the works
of such writers as Starke, the Chittys, Stephen,
and Archbold, appear, they shall also be included;
and digests of equity and law decisions--works
which have been studiously kept out of the Law
Library published at Philadelp lphia--sha have
place in the proposed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chanccry or com
mon law.
Igs This work will be issued monthly, in num-
bers of l6O pages printed on fine white paper, and
good new long primer type, at seven dollars per an
mum, payable half yearly.
