REVISED STATUTES

The Revised Statutes of 1873 went
into effect on the 1st inst, and can be
obtained of @. II. Barron, Superinten-
dent of Public Property, Madison.
Wisconsin, for the sum of three dol
lars, the cost price. The new Revised
Statutes of Wisconsin are doubtless
the best in the United States as com
plete code of statute laws while their
general arrangement for the conven-
fence of all who may have occasion
to consult them is all that could be de-
sired. They are neatly printed in
new small plea type, on heavy super
sized and calendered rag paper and
substantially bound in law-book style
in one large royal octave volume of
over l, $50 pages. Persuant to law the
Commissioners appointed to superin-
tend the printing of the Statutes pre-
fixed thereto the Constitution of the
United States and of the State of Wis
consin; appended to the volume also is
the Act of Congress enabling the peo-
pie of Wisconsin Territory to form
a Constitution and State Government
and for the admission of such State
into the Union; the laws of the natu-
ralization of aliens, and which pre-
scribe the mode in which public acts,
records and judicial proceedings in
each State of the United States shall
be authenticated, so as to be received
in evidence; besides the United States
Statutes above indicated those rela-
tive to the election of Senators and
Representatives in Congress are in
Guided in the volume. The Revised
Statutes of Wisconsin of 1878 are ad.
mirably adapted to the purpose for
which they were intended and will
doubtless receive the commentator of
the public generally.
