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, withoutre 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 an un
divided title to those works, and set burdensome
price on them. The publishers of the work now
offered to the profession throughoutthe 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 dgests Of equity and law decislons-works
which have been studiously kept out Of the Law
Library published at lphia-shall have a
place in the proposed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or com
mon law
IF This work will be issued monthly, in num-
bers OF l60 pages printed on fine white paper, and
good new long primer type, at seven dollars per an
mum, payable half yearly.

ways on hand, and spreads them out in
tempting array before all who may enter
his house. Is this not "puttlng STUN
blipp-block or an occasion to fall in his
hrotbar,s way?n Is it not directly and
openly tempting him to do wrong Every
man who sells spirituous liquors to be
DRINK as beverage, and every man who
furnishes the facilities for such saes-the
house and appurtenances for doing it
knows that he is doing that which lnf1icts
an injury on the consumer. He knows or
might know-for the testimony of the
whole medical faculty shows it, and the
moral sense of every dsinterested and So
ber man confirms it---that no man can
drink spirituous liquors without injury.
Every glass taken by person in health,
invariably, to some extent, is both physl-
caIly and morally injurious. And yet he
will continue to furnish it and spread it out
in tempting array in order to induce his
fellow-man to purchase and drink it. Is
not this tempting men to do wroug' Is it
not putting stumbling block or occasion
to fall in brothers. way
I know indeed that the man who sells
spirtuous liquors, and the man who pro-
vides house for doing it, have different
object in view from that of injuring their
fellow men. They DO it fol pecuniary
profit. Their object is gain. If they could
only secure their profits, they would doubt-
less be willing that their fellow men should
escape injury. they know well enough
that they cannot have their profits without
inAicting the injury. And so, rather than
lose their gains, they will do the injury
0 how opposite is this from spirit of kind
ness and benevolence. What spirit Of
selfshness does it show What proof it
gives of a willingness to rise on the fall and
ruin OF others How like is it to certain
other tempter who "goelh about as roar
ius lion seeking whom he may devour!"
