IT is now fully ascertained that the inaccuracy of A merican Editions has hitherto ope- rated greatly to diminish their value, and to deprive them of 'he 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 that 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, Win. P. Farrand begs leave to propose the following plan for publishing CORRECT EDITIONS OF LAW BOuKS. 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. dj" 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, tiie 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 anel numerous errors are corrected before tliey 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 guardetl 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 proofreaders.
