Judge David Mcdonald, one of the most
eminent lawyers of the State, volunteered the foowns
recommendation of the work:
Statutes or INDIANA BY GAVIN HoRD.-Some months
ago. the above named gentlemen issued propoSafor pub
fishing volumes of some 500 pages each al
tons The FIRST volume of the work rs now pubished and
the of its execution both mechanically and edto
rally, deserves the thanks of the profession.
The imperfect manner of publishing statutes under
State authority, has always been of great ncon
venence TO the Indiana Lawyer. The revision Of 1852,
asweIl have been published without any index. Up to
thsme the lawyer has constantly been under the
sity of turning over, leaf by leaf the volumes

the hurry of business in Courts. Happily for the
profession the publication under consideration promises
better of things in the future The first volume
Messrs Gavin Hord'S work contains excellent and
copous index which to every practcing lawyer in the
is itself worth the money which the volume
The volume under review contains another excellence

that glance at the margin is sufficient to apprise
eader of the contents Of the page.
Another matter OF great importance TO the lawyer in
this volume good collection of the subjects of all e
islaon 1851. Heretofore, the lawyer examining
our legislation any given subject had first to find what
was relevant in the Revision of 1857 and then to turn
pages of the volumes of subsequent Statutes

win and Hord have relieved of all this trouble and
doubt They have collected together in consecutive pages

collected all legislation, in force, the subject

other topics Of legislation

ume includes the Constitution Of the United States the
Constitution Of Indiana and several important Vr-

greatly lessened the labor Of the practising lawyer and
have well merited his grateful approval.
In every respect the volume under review highly red
