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
lish law authors withoutregardt priority of claim
on the part tof 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 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 decisions-works
which have been studiously kept out Of the Law
Library published at Philadelphia-shall have a
place in the proposed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or COM
mon law. 4
IL This work viii be issued monthly, in num-
bers of 160 pages, printed on fine white paper and
good long primer type, at seven dollars per
mum, payable half yearly.

above Sirup, having witnessed for many years its
extraordinary effects in obstinate coughs, and, in
truth, in all breast complaints tending to consump-

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. s
The preparer adds to this notice the certificates of
two respectable citizens who ascribe 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 Sarsaparila, prepared by Mrs. J.

Her cough was entirely cured by using the above
Sirup, and take pleasure in recommending it to

however violent or long standing.
