Nh. EpIroR Every rejecting yirginian must
be truly gratified at the present improving con-
dition of his native state. This improvement
has taken place inboth ects-ip her physical
and moral interests. We wish At this time, to
speak only of her improvement in educational
instruction, and means of mental improvement
The fund for School purposes is large, andyields
an annual interest sufficient to give extensive
efficiency to her Common School System: In
connection with this subject, We wish to calfthc
attention of yirginians, and Southerners in gen
eral. to the publishing house of Mr. Norris,
%, Main Street, Richmond, Va. This establish
ment as evidence of the enterprise and energy
of Mr.. Morris, is highly credit to Virginia
1t is the most extensive publishing house in the
South; and the proprietor enjoys widely extendI
ed and rapidly increasing reputation for his lib
eral and accommodating business habits for his
strict integrity, and for the accommodations he
offers to his brethren of the trade. Mr.. Morris
publishes some very valuable Law books, which
he offers to the profession on the mostreasonablc
terms He has nearly ready for publication
handsome uniform edition Of the Reports of
Cases Argued and Determined in the Court Of
Appeals of Virginia, from Jefferson to 9Th Ran
dolph inclusive; embracing series, of e vols,
condensed IN sic or ssyep royal octave volumes
This valuable work is edited by Lucien Minor,
Esq, and will be sold at the reduced price of s.
per volume Mr.. Minor will omit all arguments
of counsel, except when required to make the:
points Of a case ineligible, by the Courts hay+
ing given no reason for its opinion. He will
abridgc the arguments not omitted; will yet morc
abridgc the original reporters narratives of the
cases, aud the opinions of the Judges; and will
append to each case the substance of. posterior
cnactments or decisions that confirm, alter or
modify it BY the whole process each volume
will be reduced to third, a fourth or fifth of
its present size; rendering its matter clearer to
the mind, and less costly, both of time and! of
money. The volumes of the Reports which
AFR. Morris proposes to furnish at from thirty to
thirty.fve dollars, now cost, even at the present
reduced prices, one hundred and ttcenty7serea
dollarI Mr.. NJ has just published'a second
edition of Judge Lomax's Digest Of the Laws o
Real Property. This edition is revised, correc-
ted and greatly enlarged Itmay justly be con-
Stucfcd the most valuable COulpeluIuu1O Vi phSAI
American Law upon the subject of Real Prop
crty ever issued in this country. Chancellor
Kent entertained the highest opinion of this
work. Mr. NJ also publishes Robinson's Prac-
tice, and Sands History of aSuit in Equity, both
books of the highcstvulue to thclegal profession.
The latter work is intended to supply the young
men Of the profession with handbook to guide
them in the prosecution and defence of suits in
Equity. In reference to this object, the writer
traces the history of suit in Equity from its
beginning, through its various stages, to final
decree, of appeal, execution &c. &c. This work
will prove of no common utility and interest to
all young practitioners, who are slowly acquiring
the complicated rules of Chancery Practicc.-
Mr. Morris also publishes, and that too in the
handsomest manner, variety of interesting and
useful miscellaneous books, chiefly by Southern
authors. He keeps constantly on hand a large
and we'll selected assortment of College and
School text books, and his arrangements arc such
as to enable him to furnish supplies for session
at liberal reduction from prices usually charged
for School Books. In fine, Virginian or any
other Southern man, may supply his wants in the
book line at Mr.. Morris establishment Gseheap-
~ as at the North, all his books being tastefuly
and substantially got up. No business man in
Virginia deserves of the whole South greater
encouragement than Mr.. Norris, or does more
honor to that section Of the Union.
