PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY
L 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
lish 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 monopoles 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 un-
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 emanate from the
London market. Should new editions of the works
of such writers as StaIkie, the Chittys, Stephen
and Archbold, 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 Philadclphin--shall have o
place in the proposed one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or com.
mon law.
IS- This work will be issued monthly, in mum.
bers Of 160 pages, printed on fine white paper, and
good new long primer type, at seven dollars per an
mum, payable half yearly.
