This work contains the best productions of Eng

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

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 writer's as Starkie, the Chittys, Stephen,
and Archibold, appear, they shall also be included;
and digests Of equity and law decsions-works
which have been studiously kept out of the Law
