PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY
i 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, without regard 10 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 emanate 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 digests of equity and law decisions--works
which have been studiously kept out of the Law
Library published at Philadelphia--shall have a
place in the proposed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or conn
mon law,
us This work will be issued monthly, in num-
bers Of lG0 pages printed on fine white paper, end
good new long primer type, at seven dollars per an
mum, payable half yearly

'nHE SHARON WHITE SULPHUR
X SPRINGS. SCHOIIARIE COUNTY, NEW

YoRK.--The public are respectfully informed that
Mr.. Sandon, of the Congress Hall, Albany, is
ISOLATED with Mr. Gardner in the management of
the Pavilion Hotel at Sharon. The house is now
open for the reception of visiers, and pledge is
given to the public that every effort will be used,
and no expense withheld, to make the Pavilion equal
in all respects to any similar establishment in this
country The beautiful scenery, invigorating noun
tain air, extensive and diversified rides, and its
proximity to Cherry Valley and Cooperstown
render Sharon most desirable residence for those
in search of pleasure; whilst the established efficacy
of the white sulphur spring presents to the suffer
ing invalid all that can be desired. Physicians Of
eminent standing have pronounced the sulphur
waters of Sharon unequaed in this country; and the
thousands that have resorted thither in search of
health, after years of affection, will corroborate fully
this medical testimony. These waters have resulted
in the entire restoration of persons laborng under
rheumatism, bilious affections dyspepsia, and every
variety of cutaneous diseases. In order that the
reader may be enabled to form idea of the real
character Of the white sulphur water at Sharon, an
analysis is given below of this spring, and also Of
the celebrated white sulphur in Virginia. Whilst
the former contains 90 5-l2 cubic inches sulphur
cited hydrogen to the gallon, it will be perceived
that the latter contains only 25 cubic inches.
