PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY


OF LAW AND EQUITY, under the direc-
non 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
lish law authors without regard 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 monopoIies in
the hands OF booksellers in the Atlantic cities I'm
der the plea of right, acquired by the addition of
notes of American decisons the latter claim an ln
divided title to those works, and set burdensomc
price on them. The publishers of The work now
offered to the profession throughout the Union, will
not respect such titles but viii reprint the standard
British law books as fast as they emanatc from the
London market. Should new editions Of the works
of such writers as Starkie, the Chittys, Stephen,
and Archibod, appear, they shall also be included;
and digests Of equity and law decisions-works
which have been studiously kept out Of the Law
Library published at Philadelpha-sha have a
place in the proposed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or con-
mon law. na af5


is This work will be issued monthly, in num-
bers Of l6o pages, printed fine white paper, and
good new long primer type, at seven dollars per az
mum, payable half yearly.
