No branch of our judicial system is so
commonly appealed to or of greater impor-
lance than Justices courts. They are the
peoples forums; in them are found speedy
and convenient medium of adjusting vast
and PECULIARLY Important number of contro-
versies, that, were they adjustable only by
the higher courts, would make the admins
tration of justice an onerous and insupport-
able burden. At all times il Is open to the
appeals of the rich, the poor, high and low,
and whether attended by the wisdom and
pomp of counsel, or fortified by carefully
or cunningly drawn complaints, or alone,
unattended with scarcely legible state
ment OF his cause, the sutton may appear
and demand his remedy. This popular
form of administering justice is an indis-
Pensable feature OF every form of jurispru-
dence. Those who are called upon to sd-
minister Justice in these courts are, in gem
eral, those who are best calculated to weigh
the actions of their fellows, whose strength
of mind Is sharpened and matured by prac-
teal experience, and whose general recog
nized ability is demonstrated by their choice
to ill these honorable and useful positions
Such men possess a greater desire

quently deferred in their undertakings and
search by the difficulty in obtaining suitable
books; they have neither time, patience
and often means to gather a library for their
convenience, and were they possessed with
all these requisites it would be impracticable.
They must possess some work that will give
them such information as they desire, and
must OF nee ssity have work that treats OF
ali matters relating to their jurisdiction and
practice-a book whose comprehensiveness
simplicity and rarity is such that it forms
for them complete library, filled with the
pith, point, principles, rules and reasons of
law, brief, business like and practical. Such
work in our advanced stage of life, in the
press of business and the hurry of competi-
ton, is an indispensable auxiliary to not
only those who administer, but also
to those who seek justice in these
our most popular and numerous
necessities until the appearance of this adj
mirable work of Mr.. Spalding-a work that
must have cost him vast amount of labor
and research. There seems scarcely sub
ject in the range of personal property law
that has escaped his attention in all it's de-.
tails, in support of which be has srrsyed in
the aggregate more citations than can be
found in any single volume extant. So full
and varied is the contents Of this work, that,
should one desire to know the legal status OF

credentials and ready for action. Should
one want to bring an action for money lent,

upon judgment-yes, upon almost any
thing-he will find this work the only one
suited to his purpose. Every form is sup
ported by authority, and 1t has and gives
the sources of all whereof it speaks. In
passing so generally upon this work, we
wish it distinctly understood that, though
the testimonials given to it are from many
OF the most eminent members of our bench
and bar, are OF the most flattering character,
yet we do, independent of all the flattering
testimonials given it, pronounce it one of
the most accurate, authoritative, compre
hens1ve, convenient, practical and useful
works we lave ever seen.
1t is fact we can not we'll disguise, that
we have been compelled to use ana COPY
and multiply the works issued and used by
our sister states, but in all their years of use

and completeness of our own Jurisprudence

ufacture, as well as the inconveniencies that
will naturally result. 1t seems, however,
that a new phase of action has been adopted
that we may be able, through the influence
of conscientious publishers, to command
works whose merit, material and manufac- |
ture bears evidence of an honest desire to |
give value for value. AS an evidence of this |
we have sn example in this treatise, the sub |
ject matter of which bears evidence OF much |
patient labor of ability in selection and ar
rangement of the same, of little care for the |
amount of labor the work may cost, so the |
result is attained. Werever we may turn |
the pages of this work the same care and |
labor appears, making manifest the earnest |
desire OF its author TO produce worthy and |
practical book. The same evidences OF fair |
ness and care are exhibited by its publishers, |
as the fiue, tough quality of paper, hand |
some and clear Typography, heavy, substan-
tial and finished binding, making a strong
contrast with many of our modern books. |
And to these many desirable features may
be added probable unprecedented sale, so
popular and generally needed is the book.
