" al Of the United States.--The undersigned
having just published octave edition of the
official decisions of the Attorneys Generafof the
United States, expounding the Constitution, sub
ssting Treaties with foreign nations, and the In
dian tribes, and giving construction TO the public
laws of the country, in five volumes, averaging
$50 pages each comprising all the decisions Of
that character made since the adoption OF the
federal constitution, and prior to the 9TH day OF
July, 1851, and 10 be continued up TO the present
time. with synoptical notes and copious induces,
he respectfully announces his readiness TO answer
orders for the work, and to forward the same by
express, or otherwise, to any part OF the United
States .as n4sFH 4s
Being the productions Of distinguished jursts
and civilians fully authorized TO decide the varl-
Gus questions of civil. common, international,
constitutional, commercial, and municipal law,
which have arisen in the course of the admins
traton of the government, and bearing, as they
do, upon nearly every subject OF civil pollfy and
jurisdiction, il necessarily follows that they are
scarcely inferior in importance TO the Constitution
which they defend, and the laws which they ex-
plain. They not only set forth the political econo-
my and fundamental principles of the federal gov
eminent, and the rules and regulations enforced
in its administration, but they also define the
powers and duties, and, in many instances, the
compensation of its civil and military officers
The subjects of national sovereignty, neutrality
extradition &C., are therein thoroughly dlscussed
and revenue laws, land laws, patent laws
pension laws, &c., commented upon and ex-
planned 1t is, therefore, believed that public
ministers, consuls, governors of States, district
attorneys, marshals, collectors of customs, sur
veyors of ports, naval officers, receivers of public
moneys, registers of land Offices, Indian agents,
officers of the army and navy, and, indeed, all
public men will find these volumes a valuable ac-
QUESTION to their libraries.
The editions put up in the style OF Towards
Reports Of Decisions of the Supreme Court, and
sold at the moderate price of three dollars per
volume.
Librarians Of States and public institutions are
reminded that they may conveniently obtain the
