STATUTES OF INDIANA.
GAVIN 4 HoRD's REVISION

The second volume Of Aessrs Gavin Hords con,pila
ton Of Indiana Statutes has ust appeared This volume
completes their work Its mechanical execution is yer
credable; and the skill learning labor which tn e
editors have bestowed H. merit the highest praise.
None but learned, dgent lawyers could have produced
such a work.
The second volume embraces all the public statutes OF
Indiana in force upon the subjects which il relates
and the first all excepting the Of the last regular and
extra sessions of the Legislature IL is great excel
ence Of the compilation that all existing statutes ON each
subject collected together the place in these
volumes; that tie reader at glance all the
legislation force any given subject Take for
ample, the act Of 1852, organizing Courts of Common
Peasthe editors publish the large and they also
print in the form of the pages containing
this statute, all the amendasory 10 II which have
been passed up this time And they have done of
all the other acts contained in the revision of ls52
The editors have added much the value Of these VOL
umes-especialy the lsst-by the copous and learned
notes with which the volumes abound These notes ind
cate much labor and legal acumen. They furnish US in
concise and accurate FORM with all the adjudcaons Of
Supreme Court these statutes. These aiudica-
tons being very numerous the references to them
in the volumes under consideration will be of great value
to the lawyer and indeed 10 all persons concerned the
administration OF justice. The editors have also REFERRED
Ia their notes, to decisions in other States
made on statutes similar to ours
excellence Of these volumes, not to be overlooked
is the full and index appended each In Indi
ana there has been good index TO any volumes Of
statutes published by authority This provoking defect
has completely re1nedied in the volumes under
view and these indexes will greatly tighten the labor Of
all who have occasion to look into statutes.
This is the first time that private enteprze has
tempted the publication of Indiana statutes. The at
tempt, do doubt, viii be successful, and will
duly reward the learned editors and cnteprzng publish
Every lawyer WILL of course, purchase these Volumes
every clerk sheriff. and justice Of the peace of the
State, will find it to his advantage to own them.
