Judge David Mcdonald, one Of the most
eminent lawyers Of the State volunteered the folowin
dafiou he


recommendation Of the work:
STATUTES OF IsDIaSA, GAVIN & HoRD.-Some months
the above named gentlemen issued proposals pub
fishing, in two volumes octave of some 500 EACH al
the Of the State passed since 1851 with
tons. The first volume Of the work published and
the execution both mechanically
rally, deserves the thanks Of the profession.
The imperfect manner Of publishing statutes under
State authority has always been of incOn
venience the Indiana Lawyer. The revision of ls52,
well the statutes passed since that year. might almost
aswell have been published without any index. Up
stme the lawyer has constantly been under the
sity of turning over leaf by leaf the volumes our
statutes find any particular enactment. And every
knows how annoying and provoking this IS especially In
the hurry Of business in our Courts Happily for the
profession, the publication under consideration promises
better state OF things IN the iuture The nrSt volume
nessrs Gavin Hori's work contains excellent and
copious index, which every practicing lawyer the
tate itself worth the money which volume costs
The volume under review contains another excelenc.
Wits pages supplied With valuable marginal indice,
glance the margin sufficient apprise the
eadeT 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
sstion since 1851 Heretofore, the lawyer in examining
legislation any given subject had first find what
reley in the Revision Of 1882 and then
over the pages o me OF suoSeque, statutes, :"
how far recent legislation have repealed mud
fed the provisions contained in that Revision and
then he would often feel doubt whether he had found all
legislation the subject Of his inquiry Messrs.
win and Hord have relieved Of all this trouble and
doubt They have collected together in pages
all the statutes made since 1851 ON the same subject
Thus pages 373 ST. Of their first volume they
collected all legislation, in force, the subject
husband and wife, including the of ls52 and three
of 1857. And they have followed the mode CO.
ocaion in appropriate consecutive pages in regard to all
other topics Of legislation
A still valuable feature the copous and
contained in the volume question. This
includes the Constitution Of the United States TIT
Constitution ~ Indiana and several important Viz
gina and of Congress- and large portion
statutes in force. The numerous decisions the
Courts the various provisions cOntainedn these C0nS

pirate pages in the form 81 brief and
and references Messrs Gavin Hord to have per-
formed this part Of their work exceedingly we'll II must
have them much and labor. BY it they have
greatly lessened the labor of the practising lawyer
have well merited his grateful approval.
