PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY
i OF LAW AND Equity, under the drec-
ton Of Francis ]. Troubat, esq, of Philadelphia;
Hen. Ellis Lewis, Of Lancaster; and Wilson Nc
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
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 un-
divided title to those works, and set burdensome
price on them. The publishers Of the work now
offered to the profession throughout the Unon will
respect such titles, but will reprint the standard
British law books fast as they emapaie from the
London market Shsuld 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 studiousy 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.
AZ This work will be issued monthly, in num-
bers Of 100 pages, printed on fine white paper, end
good new long primer type at seven dollars per an
mum, payable half yearly.

ELlxER OF cALIsAYA BARK.

THIS preparation is particularly recommended to
i persons of weak habit, and to such ms reside in
low situations, where the nervous system is in gem
era, less relaxed. The addition Of certain in
gradients has SO completely disguised the taste Of
the bark, to render this efcacious remedy, most
paatable cordial; thus peculiarly adapting il to con-
quer that repugnance which most persons experi-
ence after taking for time bitter po,ions as il
combines the greatest efficacy with highly agree
able favor. As preventive OF the ague il has
superseded the use Of all other remedies, in such
parts Of the country as il is known. Prepared only
