nRospEcTUs or THE NEW LIBRARY

PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY
OF LAW AND EQUITY, under the drec-
ton of Francis ]. 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 withoutregard to priority of claim
on the part of any American publisher. Such books
are now notoriously too dear. The reason is, that
as fast as they appear they become monopoies 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 as fast as they emanate from the
London market. Should new editions Of the works
of such writers StarlSie, the Chittys, Stephen,
and Archibold appear, they shall also be ncluded;
and digests of equity and law decisions--works
which have been studiously 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.
I5F This work will be issued monthly in num-
bers Ct l6O pages, printed on fine white paper, and
good new long primer type, at seven dollars per an
mum, payable half yearly.

But in the scissors edge and razor's blade
The aids to lovelness;are ever found.

TAKE THE RUBY WINE AWAY.
Bring me forth the cup of gold,
Chased by Druid's hand ol old,
Filled from yonder fountains breast,
Where the waters are al rest;
Tins Tor me--in joyous hour,
This for me--in beauIy's bower,
This for me--in manhood's prime,
This for me-in llie's decline.
Bring me forth the humber horn,
Filled by hunters hand at morn,
From the crystal spring that flows
Underneath the blooming rose,
Where the violetlo loves TO sip,
Where the lily cools her lip;
Bring me thls--and will say,
lake the ruby wine away!
Take away the damning draught,
BY The bacchinallan quafied!
Take away the liquid death
Serpents nestle in its breath,
Terrors ride upon lis flood,
Vice surrounds its brim Of blood,
Sorrow in its bosom sungs,
Sorrow buoyed on pleasures wings.
Dip the bucket in the well,
Where the trout delights to dwell
Where the sparkling water sings,
AS il bubbles from the springs
Where the breezes whisper sweet,
Where the happy children meet,
Draw and let the draught be mine
Take away the rosy wine!
