shing in two volumes of some 500 pages EACH al
the statutes of the passed 1851 with
tons The first volume Of the work published; and
the of its execution both mechanically and edO
rally, deserves the thanks OF the profession
The imperfect Of publishing statutes under
State authority has always been of great incOn
the Indiana Lawyer The revision of 1882
well the statutes passed since that year. might almost
sswell have been published without any index. Up &c
the lawyer has constantly been under the
sity OF turning over, eai Dy ieai tue volumes our
statutes find particular enactment. And every
knows how annoying and provoking this is, especially
the hurry of business Courts. Happily for the
profession the publication under consideration promises
better of things in the future. The first volume
hessTs. Gavin Hords work contains excellent and
copous index which to every practcng lawyer in the
tate is itself worth the money which the volume costs
The volume under review contains another excellence
iits pages are supplied with valuable marginal ndces
40 that glance the margin is sufficient apprse the
esder Of the contents Of the page.
Another matter Of great Importance 10 the lawyerin

islaton 1851. Heretofore, the lawyer examining
our legislation any given subject had first find what
was relevant to in the Revision Of ls52 and then to turn
over the pages of the volumes of subsequent Statutes
how far recentegslation may have repealed mod
fed the provisions contained in that Revision and even
then he would feel doubt whether he had found
the legislation the subject of his inquiry Messrs. Ca
vim and Hord have relieved Of all this trouble and
doubt They have collected together in consecutive pages
all statutes made since lS5l. the subject
Thus pages 3T3 20 81 Of their first volume they have
collected all legislation In force the subject

Of 1851 And they have followed the mode CO..
ocaton in appropriate consecutive pages, in regard al
other topics OF legislation

Constitution OF Indiana and several important
gnia and statutes Of Congress- and large portion our

and references MeSsrs Gavin Hord have per-
formed this part Of their work exceedingly well Ii
have cost them much and labor BY il they have
greatly lesened the labor Of the practising lawyer and
have well merited his grateful approval.
In every respect the volume under review hchly red
