nEsRAskA's LEGAL HISTORY.

Complete Laws of the Territory and State In
| Three Large Volumes.
| For thirty-fivc years has Ncbrusku's Terri.
| torlal and State legislatures been cnncting,
amending and repeating laws affecting the
personal and property rights of the citizens
of the state, and 1t Is snfc to say that until
| recently not more than n half dozen lawyers
of the state possessed copies of onc.tcnth of
these numerous enactments, and not one
possessed full and complete copies for tile
| reason that In the earlier period but few
copies were printed, and many inaccuracies
occurred, aud from the further fact that the
session laws Of 1873 were never Published at
ALL
Tie State journal Co., of Lincoln, realizing
the necessity of an accurate and full com
pilation of the laws of the Territory and
state Of Nebraska, began several years ago

Experts we're employed, and four years werc
| given to copying and comparing every en-
| nttmcnt, including general. local and pri.
vate laws, joint and concurrent resolutions,
| and memorials TO Congress. which were then
| arranged In sections and published in three
large volumes, comprising grand total of
pages. The proofs were compared, not with
the printed copies, but with the original
| rolls, corrected, and then again revised,
thus assuring nearly absolute correctness.
hundreds Of errors occurred In the originaI
biennial publications. and these are all not
