Candless, esq, of Pittsburgh.
This work contains the best productions of Eng
lsh law authors without regard to priority of claim
ON the part of any American publisher. Such books
are now VIGOROUSLY 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 an UNI
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 cmanatc from the
London market Should new editions of the works
Of such writers as Starkie, the Chittys, Stephen,
and Archbold, appear, they shall also be included;
and dgests Of equity and law decIsions-works
which have been studously kept out Of the Law
