U TO THE
M MARYLAND CODE,

CONTAINING the ACTS OF THE GENERAL As
I / sEMBLY, passed at the Extra Sessions of
1861, and the Regular Session OF 1862, divided
into PUBLIC GENERAL AND PUBLIC LOCAL LAWS,
and arranged in Articles and Sections to cores
pond with the Code. Also, an APPENDIX, con-
tanning the Private Acts and Resolutions Of the
Extra Sessions of 1861, and the Regular Session of
1862, In Alphabetical and Numerical Order. BY
H. @. MAcEALL, of the Maryland Bar. To which
is added, the CONSTITUTION OF MARY
LAND, with references to the Decisions Of the
Court of Appeals, and the CONSTITUTION OF
THE UNITED STATES with Notes and Refer
ences to the Decisions of the Supreme Court
The whole carefully and accurately indexed.-
By EDWARD OT1s HMKLEY, of the Baltimore Bar.
We believe we thus offer to the public work
invaluable TO every Larger, Magistrate Politician,
Business Man, and euery Citizen Of Maryland
and one invaluable to every possessor Of the
Code
The Importance of the Legislation of the late ses-
sions of the Legislature Affecting as does, the in
terests Of every man in the State, renders it matter
of the greatest moment to each individual, to
have in a convenient and accessible form the
Acts of Assembly, and it is scarcely less so to
have embodied, in the same volume, the hspor-
tant Resolutions which enunciate the policy of
the State in the present crisis while it will prove
matter of no slight moment to individuals and
corporations, thus to have preserved in perma-
nent form, the Acts on which their rights and
interests may depend.
By continuing the publication of the work, as
we propose, it is believed that the Bar of Mary
land will have the Statute Law of the State in
form as convenient and accessible as that of any
State in the Union.
Gw Such as may desire to secure the Supple
ment, will do we'll to order at once, as the Work
has not been stereotyped, and the extent of the
Edition, beyond the number subscribed for, is
small.
