STATUTES OF INDIANA.
GAVIN a. HORD'S REVISION.

The second volume of Messrs Gavin Hords compila-
ton of Indiana Statutes has just appeared This
completes their work Its mechanical execution is yer
credable; and the Skill learning and labor which the
editors have bestowed it, merit the highest praise.
None but learned dgent lawyers could produced
such work.
The second volume embraces all the public statutes Of
Indiana in force uponth subjects to which IL relates
and the first all excepting the of the last regular and
sessions Of the Legislature II Is great excel
ence Of the compilation that all existing statutes on each
subject collected together in the place these
volumes; that the reader see at glance all the
legislation in force any given subject Take for ex
ample, the act Of 1882 organizing Courts Of Common
Peas-the editors publish the large and they
print in the form Of the same pages containing
this statute, all the amendatory it which have
been passed up TO this time. And they have done of
all the other acts contained in the revision Of 1852
The editors have added much the value Of these
umes-especialy the last-by the copous and learned
notes with which the volumes abound These notes ndi-
cate much labor and legal They furnish US in
concise and FORM with all the adludcaons Of
Supreme Court these These adjudica-
tons being very numerous, the references them
in the volumes under consideration wbc great value

administration of justice The editors have also referred
in their notes, to decisions in other States
made statutes similar to ours.
An excellence Of these volumes not to be overlooked
is the full and accurate index appended each. In ndi
ana there never has been good index any volumes Of

has been completely remedied in the volumes under
yiew and these indexes will greatly tighten the labor Of
all who have occasion to look into our statutes.
This is the first time that private enterpnze has
tempted the publication OF Indiana statutes. The
tempt do not doubt, will be successful, and will
duly reward the learned editors and enterprzng psbsh
Every lawyer WILL Of course purchase these volumes;
and every clerk sheriff. and justice Of the peace Of the
State will find it to his advantage to them
