This work contains the best productions Of Eng
ish law authors, without regard to priority Of claim
on the part of any American publisher. Such books
are now notoriously too dear. The reason 10, that
as fast as they appear, they become monopoics 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 a burdcnsome
Price on them. The publishers Of the work no "
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 Stsrkie, the Chittys, Stephen.
and Archbod, appear, they shall also be included;
and digcsts Of equity and law decisions--works
which have been studiously kept out of the Law
Library published at Philadelphia--shall have a
