PROSPECTUS OF The NEW LIBRARY
OF LAW AND EQUITY, under the direc-
on of Francis ]. Troubat, esq.,, of Philadelphia; (;
Ion. Ellis Lewis, Of Lancaster; and Wilson Nc
'andless, ESQ.,, Of Pittsburgh.
This work contains the best productions of Eng
ish law authors without regard to priority of claim
n the partof any American publisher. Such books
re now notoriously too dear. The reason is, that
) fast as they appear, they become monopolies in
le hands of booksellers in the Atlantic cities. Un-
er the plea of right, acquired by the addition of
otes of American decisions, the latter claim an un-
rvided title to those works, and set burdensome
rice on them. The publishers of the work now
fered to the profession throughout the Union, will
OF respect such titles, but will reprint the standard
ritish law books as fast as they emapate from the
opdon market. Should new editions of the works
such writers as Starkie the Chittys, Stephen,
nd Archibold appear, they shall also be included;
ad digests Of equity and law decisions-works
ihich have been studiously kept out Of the Law
library published at Philadelphia have a
lace in the proposed new one, together with every
ew valuable English treatise on chancery or COM
ION law.
Ur This work will be issued monthly in num-
IT'S Of 160 pages, printed on fine white paper, and
BOD new long primer type, at dollars per an
nm, payable half yearly. a
