sury Department, IN two quarto volumes, whole
| sale aud retail
Although the title page dates its publication in
A, lS, the first volume brings its chief subjects
| OF - Treasury Instructions and Decisions in Exc
cution of the Revenue Laws down to 4th March,
1850, including the tariff of duties and military
contributions levied on Mexican commerce in ports
and places in possession of the United States dur
ing the war, and Notes the Judicial Power of the
Courts of the United States, reciting instances of
their conHicton with Executive decisions, and in
structions on revenue cases, and other subjects.
There Ia also added to the second volume,
which treats of the organization and practical opera
tons OF the Treasury Department, copous al pba-
betical Index, which has been recently prepared
with great care, on finding that the analytical ia
bes of contents of the different chapters were an
insufficient substitute for such index in faci
tating prompt references to the details of the work
in cases OF emergency. There is likewise NOTE
appended to this Index relating the insecurity of
the public money In all past time, and making
very important discrimination between accounts
and claims, with classification of the latter ac-
cordine to their various grades.
These additions justly entitle the remaining
copies OF the work to be regarded in the light of
improved edition.
IL will be perceived, from the high commenda-
tions at the end of the second volume, by two
cessve Presidents and Vice Presidents of the United
States, Justices of the Supreme Court, members Of
the Senate and of the House of Representatives five
successive Secretaries of the Treasury, heads of
Bureaux in the Treasury, War, and Navy Depart
mens, and the favorable report of the Joint Libra
~ Committee of the two Houses of Congress, &c,
that there be no longer question of the utility
of this work TO all officers in the various branches
OF the public service, well as to all others having
any interest In the practical operations OF this De-
partment. Judge Woodbury., who has had such
ample experience in the legislative, executive, and
judicial departments of the Government-twice
Senator of the United States, for many years Sec
rotary OF the Navy, and for longer time Secretary
of the Treasury, and now distin guished member
of the Supreme Court of the United States, says

"DEAR Sir; have been much obliged by copy
of your Treatise on the Treasury Department, and
much interested in its contents. Without some
such compilation the records and decisions of the
Department, and the divisions of business among

all the officers connected with the Department;
and much more so TO claimants, and to Legislators
in Congress. ] hope il may meet with the patron
age and success il deserves

This letter Is here selected on account ofts brevity
and force, fair illustration of the spirit of the
above referred to. Should there yet be lingering
