This work contains the best productions of Eng
lish law authors without priority claim
on the partof any American publisher. Such books
are now notoriously too dear. The reason is, that
as fast as they appear, they become monopolies 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
divided title to those works, and set aburdensome
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 fast as they emanate 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 decsions-works
which have been studiously kept out Of the Law
Library published at Philadelphia have
place in the proposed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or COM
mon law.


IL This work will be issued monthly, in num-
bers of l6O pages, printed on fine white paper, and
good new long primer type at seven dollars per
mum, payable half yearly. as
