PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY


OF LAW AND EQUITY, under the direc-
ton of Francis j. Troubat esq, of Philadelphia
Hon. Ellis Lewis, Of Lancaster; and Wilson Nc
Candless, Esq, Of Pittsburgh.


This work contains the best productions of Eng
sh law authors, withoutregard to 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 monppolies in
the hands of booksellers in the Atlantic cities. Un-
der the plea Of right, acquired by the addition of
notes of American decisions the latter claim an un-
divided title to those works, and set burdensome
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 emanate from the
Lopdon market. Should new editions Of the works
Of such writers as Starsie, the Chittys, Stephen,
and Archibold, appear they shall also be included;
and digests of equity and law decisions-wo
which have been studiously kept out of the Law
Library published at Philadelphia have a
place in The proposed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or com
mon law. Il,


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