Indiana nov in force upon the subjects 70 which 4, relates.
and The FIRST oil excepting the acts Of the lat regular and
extra sessions Of the Legislature. IL g. a great excel
lence Of the compilation that al existing statutes on each
subject are collected together In The same place IN these
volumes; 20 that & e reader can see Al a glance all the
legislation IN force m any given subject. Take. for ex-
ample, the act Of is52. organizing Courts u Common
Pieas-the editors pubisL the act At large. and they also
print, in the form of notes on The same page. containing
this statute, all the acts amendaiory to IL which have
been passed mp to this time. And 50 they have done Of
all the other acts contained IN the revision Of lisa.
The editors have added much to the value Of these vel
umes-especially the l.st-by the copious and learned
notes with which the volumes abound. These notes lndi-
cate much labor and legal acunen. They furnish u. ina
concise and accurate form, with all the ad INDICATIONS Of
our supremefCourt on these statutes. These a~aBudica-
tions being now very numerous, the references 10 them
IN the volumes under consideration. WILDE Of great value

administration o. justice. The editors have also referred,
in their note, to numerous decisions In other States.
made on statutes similar to ours.
An excellence Of these volumes. not 20 be overlooked,
Is the fun and accurate index appended to each. In Indi-
ana, there never has been a good index 10 any volumes Of
statutes published by authority. This provoking defect
has been completely remedied In the volumes under re-
view; and ,hese indexes will greatly tighten the labor Of
all who have occasion 10 look into our statutes.
This Is the fret time that private ente 'prte has at
tempted the publication Of Indiana statutes. The At.
tempt. 1 do not doubt, ~il be successful, and will
duly reward the learned editors and enterprizing ~psblish-
ers. Every lawyer will. ofcourse, purchase these volumes:
and every clerk. sheriff, and justice q the peace Of the
Stair. will find il to his advantage TO own them.
