Literary Notices.

TO We have been recently presented
with a very convenient and handsomely ex>
ecuted book, compiled and edited by our
friend, General F. w. TlorKISs, Of Rutland,
entitled A MANuAI ron THE RUTLAND
COUNTY BAR" The book contains an in>
dcx Of all the judgments, DEGREES and causes
decided il the Supreme Court of Rutland
County, and in the County Court and Court
of Chancery, from 1889 to 1850, presenting
III a small compass, for handy reference,
matters which mus, have necessarily cos!
much labor in arrangement, and will save
to the profession of that county much valua-
bic time. The book also informs the read
or Of the Judges who have from lime &c
time discharged official functions in that i'm.
portant county, together with all the rules oil
practice, &C., in all the courts. This must
be Of great value to lawyers in that county
who are thus enabled at glance 10 learn
what would otherwise cost much trouble in
the search. We think the Rutland Bar may
congratulate themselves upon having such a
man as the General for clerk, since by his
care, skill, and assiduty, they are enabled to
take the lead of the profession in the beauty
and typographical neatncss oil the numerous
forms and preccdcn,s, which GO so far 10
make up the machinery Of the law. The
bill Of fees, at The end Of the book, as the
same is applicable to all the other counties
In the State, is Of itself worth the cost Of the
work.
