STATUTES OF INDIANA.
GAVIN a. uONO's REVISION.

The second volume Of Messrs. Gavin A Hord's compila.
ton Of Indiana sa utes has just appeared. This volume
completes their " s-k. Its mechanical execution is vei
c~reditahlc; and the ,kill. learning, aud labor which th.
editors have bestowed on II, merit the high, 81 praise
None hu' learned, diligrnt lawyers could have producee
such a work.
The second volume embra aces ali the public statutes Of
Indiana now in force upon the subjects 10 which Il relates.
aud The first all excepting the acts Of the last regular and
extra sessions Of the Legislature. II i a great excel
lence Of the compilation that all existing statutes on each
subject are collected together in the same place in these
volumes; 80 that { e reader can see at a glance all the
Legislation in force N any given subject. Take, for ex.
ample. the act of lisa. organizing Courts Of Common
pleas-the editors publsh the act at large. and they aso
print. In the form of notes on he same page containing
,his statute, all the acts anendatory TO it which have
been passed up to this lime. And So they have done OF
all the other acts Contained in the revision Of 1852.
The editors have added much To the value o. these vol
umrs-especially the l,st-by the copious and LEARNED
notice with which the volumes abound. These notes indi-
cate much labor aud legal acumen. They furnish u, IN a
concise and accurate form. with all the al INDICATIONS OF
our Supreme Court ON these statutes. These sljudica.
tons being now very numerous, the references to them
ia the volumes unfer consideration. Willie Of great value
tn the lawyer, and indeed 20 all persons concerned in the
simiui>tra ion o. justice. The editors have also referred.
Ia their note~, TO numerous decisions in other States.
made ON statutes similar to ours.
An excellence Of these volumes, not 10 be overlooked
l. the fun and accurate index appended to each. In IDdi-
ana. there never has been a good index 10 any volumes o
statutes published by authority. This provoking defect
ha> been completely rrmeiied In the volumes under re
view; and these indexes will greatly tighten the labor OF
sl Who have occasion 20 look into our statutes.
This is the hr~t time that private enterprize has at.
tempted the publication Of indiana statutes. The at
tempt. DO not DOUBT. will be successful. and will
ers Ever, lawyer will. Of course. purchase these volumes.
snd every clerk. sheriff. and justice Of the peace of the
state. will ind it to his advantage to own them.
