PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY
i OF LAW AND Equity, under the direc-
ton of Francis ]. Troubat, ESQ.,, of Philadelphia
Hon. Ellis Lewis, of Lancaster; and Wilson Nc
Candess, esq, Of Pittsburgh
This work contains the best productions of Eng
sh 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 as they emnnate from the
London market. Should new editions of the works
Of such writers as Starkie, the Chiitys, Stephen,
and Archbod, appear, they shall also be included
and digests Of equity and law decsions--works
which have been studously 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 COM
mon law.
UT 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.
