A Valuable Book.

The Political, Personal and Propert,
Rights Of a citizen of the United States
Hon. to exercise and how to prsserue them
| by Theophilus Parsons, LII, ID.
Jones Brothers q Co., 81. Louis, Mo-
A careful perusal of this work will con.
vey an adequate understanding of all
legal questions arising in public or pri.
vate life, for it gives clear explanation
Of those universally recognized principles,
on which are based all existing laws en-
acted to secure US IN the enjoyment OF
our rights and privileges.
That every one should be we'll informed
concerning the right and duties of the
citizen, Is of the greatest importance to
this country where he participates so
freely and SO directly in the affairs of the
government.
This volume will prove of great value
to the Statesman and to lawyers, and can
not be but eminently useful to the citi-
zen of every class and calling.
The ability, accuracy and long expe-
rience of the author as law writer and
teacher, are a sufficient guaranty that
the work is one of merit and usefulness.
The language of the author is simple, he
eliminates from it those abtruse phrases
50 common in most law books and brings
his subject within the comprehension Of
those unlearned in the law.
His explanation of the cause which led
TO the framing and adoption of the Con-
stltution of tie United States, and its
principles and purposes, is alone we'll
worthy the cost of the volume to every
one who sspires to the fall enjoyment Of
the privileges guaranteed him by the
Supreme law of the land. The vast
amount of useful knowledge, the excel
lent forms. The rules for the organization
and procedure of delibesatiye bodies and
the glossary Of law terms in common use
make this work one of great popular
value.
