PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY
L OF LAW AND Equity, under the direc-
ton of Francis J. Troubat, esq, of Philadelphia
Hon. 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
MS fast as they appear, they become monopoes 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 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 Starkie, the Chttys, Stephen,
and Archbod, appear, they shall also be included;
and digests Of equity and law decisons--works
which have been studiously kept out of the Law
Library published at Philadelph ia--shall have
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 160 pages, printed fine white paper, end
good new long primer type, at seven dollars per an
mum, payable half yearly.
