PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRAR

Hon. Ellis Lewis of Lancaster; and Wilson Mo-
Candless, Esq, Of Pittsburgh.
This work contains the best productions OF Eng
Iish law authors, without regard priority Of claim
on the part of any American publisher. Such books
are now notoriously too dear. The reason s, that
as fast as they appear, they become monopoliss In
the hands of booksellers in the Atlantic cities un-
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 burdensone
price on them. The publishers of the work now
offered TO the profession throughout the Union, VIII
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 Starkie, the Chittys Stephen,
and Archibold, appear, they shall also be included;
and digests of equity and law decisions-works
which have been studiously kept out Of the Law
Library published at Philadelpha--shall have
place in the proposed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or COM
mon law.
M5@ 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

CONGRESSIONAL INTELLIGENCER.

The proprietors of the NATIONAL IsrELLIGEN-
GER, in order to meet the wishes of those whose
circumstances or inclination do not allow them TO
subscribe even to weekly Washington paper
during the whole year, have determined 10 is
sue during each session of Congress, a weekly
sheet styled /" The CoNGREssIoNAL IsTELLIGES-
cER," to be devoted exclusively to the publication,
as far its limits will permit, Of the Proceedings
of both Houses Of Congress, and Official Reports
and Documents connected Herewith, including a
complete official copy a acis passed BY Congress d.-
ring the session.
10 bring the price within the means of every
man who can read, the charge for this paper will
be for the first session Of each Congress One Dol
lar and for the second session of each Congress
half Dollar.
The price Of the CONGRESSIONAL INTsLMGEN-
GER, TO be issued on each Wednesday during the

10 enlarge upon the value to those who take
no newspaper from Washington, Of this publica-
on, containing an impartial but necessarily abbre-
waited account of the Proceedings in Congress, in
Guiding an authentic official copy of all the laws
passed during the session, would be needless The
man who takes no such paper ought TO take one, if
he does not prefer remaining ignorant Of what
most nearly concerns his own destiny, ard that OF
his family and Of his posterity for ever.
When six copies are ordered and paid for
by any one person, deduction of one-sixth will
be made from the price, that is to say, remittance
OF Five Dollars will command six copies Of the
Congressional lntelligencer for the next Session
remittance Of Ten Dollars will secure thirteer
copies; and for Fifteen Dollars RENTED from any
one person or place twenty copies will be for
warded.
