the manner Of its execution both mechanically and edito-

The imperfect manner of publishing statutes under
state authority has always been source Of great ncon-
Venlence TO the Indiana Lawyer The revision lS52

as well have been published without any index Up to
this time the lawyer has constantly under the nee-
sy OF turning over, leaf by leaf the volumes Of orr

profession the publication under consideration promises
better state Of things in the future The first volume Of
Messrs Gavin Hord's work contains excellent and
copons index which 10 every practicng lawyer in the
State is itself worth the money which the volume costs
The volume under review contains another excellence

that glance at the margin is sufficient apprse the
reader of the contents of the page.
Another matter Of great Importance to the lawyer in
this volume is good collection Of the subjects Of all leg

our legislation any given subject had first TO find what
