Of air acting upon thin metallic reed, has
just boon patented at Washington b. the
ingenious inventor, Mr.. Charles Horst, or

10 raise or lower their pitch at pleasure
An instrument supplied with Mr. Horst,
improved reeds can be tuned to chord with

PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY
i OF LAW AND EQUITY, under the drec-
ton Of Francis ]. Troubat, esq, of Phiadelphia
Hon. Ellis Lewis, of Lancaster; and Wilson Nc
Candless, esq, of Pittsburgh.
This work contains the best productions Of Eng
Iish 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 monopoies 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 get 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 includcd
and dgests Of equity and law decsions--works
which have been studously kept out of the Law
Library published at Philadelphia--shall have q
place in the proposed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or COM
mon law.
n5- This work will be issued monthly, in num-
bers Of l60 pages, printed on fine white paper, and
good new long primer type, at seven dollars per an
mum, payable half yearly.

THIS preparation is particularly recommended to
Il persons Of weak habit, and to such as reside in
low situations, where the system is, in gen.
era more or less relaxed. The addition of certain in
gradients has so completely disguised the taste Of
the bark as to render this efcacious remedy, most
paatable cordial thus peculiarly adapting il TO
quer that repugnance which most persons expert
ence offer taking for some time bitter polions, as il
combines the greatest efficacy with highly agree
