NEW & CORRECT EDITIONS
OF
LAW BOOKS.
WILLIAM P. FARRJND,
LAW AND WHOLESALE BOOKSELLER,
PHILADELPHIA.
Is reprinting, correctly, the following valuable Law Books, several of which willbe published
with new references to the later -English reports, and to the Reports of Decisions in the
United States, viz.

on of (his work, the last volume of which is ju»t finished in London.

TSUGDEN'S TREATISE of tue Law of Vendors and Pnrchasers of Estates ; also
3 ABRIDGMENT of the Laws of NISI PRK S, part I. were put to press in December,
jt, and are in a forward state.
IT iw now fully ascertained that the inaccuracy of American Editions has hitherto ope-
rated greatly to diminish their value, and to deprive them of the patronage of men who were
best able to support their interests. To those who examine this subject with the attention it
really deserves, it will evidently appear that there has been too much cause for censure, It
will also appear thrit in some instances, where great, pretensions have been made to accu-
racy, there exists the greatest cause for censure There might be several instances given of
this kind, though it were to be wishedthey did not exist. Considering, therefore, that such
is the fact; considering also that disppointments may have begotten a still greater want of con-
fidence in the public mind, and that notwithstanding, there exists a sincere and general wish
to patronise American Publications, when they are deserving, Wm. P. Farrand begs leave to
propose- the following plan for publishing COURRCT EDITIONS OF LAW BOOKS. He
begs leave also to solicit the patronage of gentlemen of the bar in aid of his undertaking, and
to express his hopes that the plan he has adopted, which involves an unremitting attention,
will be received as a satisfactory voucher for the accuracy and value of his editions.
TO THE~PUBLIC.
rrj* WM. P. FARRAND gives this public notice, that two Proof Sheets of his Law
Books are put up for public examination ; one at his own Counting-House, the other at the
City Library, and that on application at his counting-house he will pay one dollar for every er-
or discovered in them, which alters the sense of the passage, or for every erroneous reference.
N. B. 1. The London editions from which we print are to be taken as standards, though
they are very carefully read and numerous errors are corrected before they are given as copies
to print from. 2. Punctuation is so various that the use of points, said to be. erroneous, under
the full point or period, is not to be considered as subjecting the publisher to the above penal-
ty, though errors of punctuation will be guarded against with the greatest care, and readers
¦will confer a favor on the publisher by pointing out any error of this kind, should such in any
instance escape the proof-readers.
