PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY
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
sh law authors withoutregardt 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 monopolies 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 u-
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 fast as they emanate from the
London market. Should new editions of the works
of such writers as Starkic, the Chittys, stephen,
and Archbold, appear, they shall also be included;
and digests Of equity and law decisons-works
which have been studiousIy kept out Of the Law
Library published at Philadelp lphia--shall have a
place in the proposed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or com
mon law.
D5P This work will be issued monthly, in num-
bers Of 100 pages, printed on fine white paper, and
good new long primer type at seven dollars per an
mum, payable half yearly.

And swift upon her pumes descended low
To earth and hal'd the favored of the Lord,
And sad Fear not, for thou shalt bear a

And Jesus shalt thou call his name"
Long silence reigned in Heav'n;
The strings Of all the harps were mute The
Seraphic choirs were hush'd; and nought but
And wond'ring whispers broke the solemn ar.
And in amazement did the angels at
Each other gaze the smiles which sat upon
Their brows did fade, and melancholy signs
Resumed their place, as was decided who
Should die for man. In silence did train
Ofangel mournerS follow, as it were,
To Heavens threshold, the sacred One who

Returned to muse upon the issue of
His work.
