PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY
Id OF LAW AND EQUITY, under the direc-
tion 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, withoutregard 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 monopohes 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 a burdensome
price on them. The publishers of the work now
offered to the profession throughout the Union, will
not 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 Starke, the Chittys Stephen,
and Archibold appear they shall also be included;
and digests of equity and law decisions--works
which have been studionsly kept out Of the Law
Library published at Philadephia--shall have a
place in the proposed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or COM
mon law. 1850, 81. s.t ts

bers of l60 pages, printed fine white paper, and
