chat the fftcouth volume Of Richard
sons Law and the fourteenth volume of
Richardson's Equity Reports have Just
been published by Messrs. Bryan &
McOarter. These two volumes close the
labors Of the old court of South Caro-
lima. For the half Of a. century. the de-
cisions OF this court have ranked high in
the estimation of the beat lawyers Of the
country. The names of DeSanssure and
Mott, Johnston and Harper, the Ward
laws and O'Neal. Dunkin and others.
have ranked with the Kents and Story.
the Spencers and other Northern iurists.
The decisions embodied in the volumes
OF the South Carolina Reports are of
high authority everywhere, and are
sought for in the North and West, as
we'll as In the South, and OF late orders
have been received by the publishers
even from England and California. It
is matter of great moment to the bar
of South Carolina that many hundred
volumes of these valuable Reports from
the year 1889 were saved from the flames
on the night of the memorable 18th of
February, when 80 many valuable libra
ries, both public and private, were de-
stroyed. These two last volumes will
complete the reporting labors of J. 8.
G. Richardson, Esq, who for fifteen
years has filed the Office of reporter with
rare fidelity and ability. Let us hope
that the mantle, both of judges and re-
porter, will fall upon their successors

Messrs. Bryan & McCarter and Duffie
Chapman have each supplied us with
copies of "a Beggar on Horseback" by
the author of Found Dead" New
York: Harper & Brothers. It is an over
strained and unnatural picture of
county family in England several wears
ago, and consists chiefly Of string of
heterogeneous and improbable incidents
jumbled together in most inharmonious
confusion. In spite of the long list of
the authors books quoted on the title
page. we cannot but think that he has
decidedly mistaken his vocation. OF
course, opinions differ, and some readers
may be gratificd with the plot of the
story.
new series of school-books has lust
been issued by Messrs A. 8. Barnes &
Co.. of New York. They consist of
Davies Practical Arithmetic; The Ma
tlonai Second Reader; and Monteith's
Hhyslcal and intermediate Geography.
Many valuable improvements have been
introduced. The character of these
books is too well established to require
extended eulogy or explanation. Suffice
it to say, that they have been 90 tho
roughly tested, and so carefully revised
and improved from time to time their
Illustrations are SO appropriate, their
system OF gradation is so perfect, that
the unanimous voice of thousands of
teachers, directors, and city, County and
State Boards of Education, have been
cast in their favor; while their wonder
ful sale during less than eight years of
average Notwithstanding to seve
raj million volumes sufficiently attest
that the American people know how to
appreciate good schooi5ooks. Attention

these books in this morning g PHa;N1x.
