Hon. Charles X. Brown has sent US copy
OF book written by bimsei', and just pub
lished entitled Government Of Michigan,
embracing an abstract OF the Laws, and show
ing the duties OF State, County and Township
officers" etc. The work is designed for text
BOOK in our common schools, but from an ex-
animation Of its contents we are satisfied that
it would be very Useful handbook for every
body who would possess an accurate knowledge
OF the subjects Of which 1t treats. No person,
outside the legal profession, can read the book
through carefully without adding TO his store
Of valuable, practicable knowledge, in money
value to himself, many times the cost OF the
book.
To show how the work IL regarded by some
of the best minds and educators of the State,
we append the following:
