Judge DaV10 DOnaI0s one OF the most
eminent lawyers of the State, volunteered the fOlOwn
recommendation of the work:
STATUTES OF INDIANA, GAVIN HoRD.-Some months
ago. the above named gentlemen issued proposals for pub
hng in two volumes octave OF some 500 pages each al
the statutes passed since 1851 with
tons The first volume of the work IS now pubShed and
the manner of its execution both mechanically and editO
rally, deserves the thanks of the profession.
The imperfect manner of publishing statutes under
State authority, has always been source OF great ncon
venepce TO the Indiana Lawyer The revision of 1852 a.
well the passed since that year, might almost
aswell have been published without any index. Up tc
thisme the lawyer has constantly been under the
sity of turning over. leaf by leaf the volumes
find any particular enactment And every
knows how annoying and provoking this IS especially in
the hurry Of business in Courts. Happily for the
profession the publication under consideration promises
better things the future. The first volume
Nessrs. Gavin Hords work contains excellent and
copous index which to every practcing lawyer in the
state itself worth the money which the volume costs.
The volume under review contains anoiher excellence
iits pages supplied with valuable marginal ndices
that glance the margin is sufficient apprise
eader of the contents of the page.
Another of great Importance to the lawyer in
this volume is good collection of the subjects of all leg
slaton 1851. Heretofore, the lawyer in examining
legislation any given subject had first to find wha
relevant to- in the Revision OF 1852, and then
over the pages of the volumes of subsequent Statutes
how far recent legislation may have repealed Md
fed the provisions contained in that Revision and even
then he would often feel doubt whether be had found all
legislation the subject of his inquiry Messrs
and Hord have relieved of all this trouble and
doubt They have collected together in consecutive pages

Thus pages 1913 377 Of their first volume they
collected all legislation, in force, the subject

Of 1857. And they have followed the mode CO.
ocatio appropriate consecutive pages regard
other topics Of legislation.
still valuable feature the copous and accu-
contained in the volume in question. This VOL
ume includes the Constitution of the United States tn.
Constitution Of Indiana and several important Vr-
gnia of Congress, and large portion
statutes in force. The decisions the
Courts the various provisions contanedn these Conss
and statutes found at the bottom of the appro
pirate pages the form of brief and
and references. Messrs Gavin Hord have per-
formed this part Of their work exceedingly WELL II must
have them much and labor. By it they have
greatly essened the labor of the practising lawyer and
have well merited his grateful approval.
In every respect the volume under review shighy red

of its publishers ard it must raise the just expectation
the profession value of the second volume which
understand will be forthcoming i'm few months, and
which will contain the code Of pleading and practice
