OPINIONS OF ATTORNEYS GENER-

OPINIONS OF ATTORNEYS GENER-
" al of the United States.-The undersigned
having just published octave edition of the
official decisions of the Attorneys General Of the
United States, expounding the Constitution sub
sisting 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 4th day OF
July, 1851, and to 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.
Being the productions of distinguished jurists
and civilians fully authorized to decide the vari-
Gus questions of civil, common, International,
constitutional, commercial, and municipal law,
which have arisen in the course OF the admins
tration of the government, and bearing as they
do, upon nearly every subject of civil polity and
jurisdiction, it 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
ernment 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.
extradtion &C., are therein thoroughly discussed,
and revenue laws, land laws, patent laws
pension laws, &c., commented upon and ex-
planned. II 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 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
reminded that they may conveniently obtain the
work. through their representatives in Congress,
if the latter are Immediately addressed upon the
subject.
