PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY
II OF LAW AND EQUITY, under the direc-
tion of Francis ]. Troubat, esq, of Philadelphia
Hon. Ellis Lewis, of Lancaster; and Wilson Nc
Candless, Esq, of Pittsburgh.


This work contains the best productions of Eng
lsh law authors, withoutre regardto priority of claim
on the part of any American publisher Such books
are now notoriously too dear. The reason is, that
as fast as they appear, they become monopoles in
the hands Of booksellers in the Atlantic cities. I'm
der the plea of right, acquired by the addition Of
notes of American decisions the latter claim un-
divided title to those works, and set bufdensome
price on them. The publishers Of the work now
offered to the profession throughout the Union, will
not respect such titles, but will reprint the standard
British law books as fast as they en1anae from the
London market. Should new editions of the works
Of such writer's as Starkie, the Chittys, Stephen,
and Archibold appear, they shall also be Included;
and digests Of equity and law decisons-works
which have been studiousy kept out of the Law
Library published at Philadelp lphia--shall have
place in the proposed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or com
mon law. @a s sa8 as


IF This work will be issued monthly, in num-
bers cf 160 pages printed on fine white paper, and
good long primer type, at seven dollars per
mum, payable half yearly.
