PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY
OF LAW AND EQUITY, under the direc-
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
ish law authors, without regard 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 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 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 Starkie, the Chittys, Stephen,
and Archibold appear, they shall also be included;
and digests of equity and law decisons--works
which have been studously kept out Of the Law
Library published at Philadelph lphia-shall have
place in the proposed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or COM
mon law.
~ This work will be issued monthly in num-
bers Of l60 pages, printed fine white paper, and
good new long primer type, at seven dollars per an
mum, payable half yearly.

w CHERRY, Sarsaparilla, and other
MEDICINAL PLANTS. The preparer of the
above Sirup, having witnessed for many years its
extraordinary effects in obstinate coughs, and, in
truth, in all breast complaints tending to consump-
ton, has been induced by many of those who have
experienced its salutary operation, to offer it to the
public, under the full conviction that the timely use
of this compound will avert the fatal termination of
many cases.
The preparer adds to this notice the certificates of
two respectable citizens who ascbe their restoration
to health to this preparation.
This is to certify that my daughter received great
benefit from mixture called Compound Sirup Of
Wild Cherry and Sarsaparilla, prepared BY MrsJ.

Her cough was entirely cured by using the above
Sirup, and take pleasure in recommending it to
the public as sure and speedy remedy for coughs,
however violent or long standing.
