Reports of Cases at Law and in Chancery; decided by the Supreme Court of Ohio, during the years 1831, 1832, 1833, and 1834, taken from original minutes. By John C. Wright, late one of the judges of said Court. One very large volume, super-royal 8vo. of 864 pages. [The number of cases reported is four hundred and ninety-eight. Much time and labor have been devoted to the arrangement of the index, with the design of making it copious and easy of reference.] THE STATUTES OF OHIO.

This work contains a digested Index of all the reported Decisions, in Law and Equity, of the Supreme Courts of the States of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, with an Appendix containing the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution and Rules of Court of each of the States above specified, together with the Statutes for the admission of Attorneys to the Bar, and for the acknowledgment of Deeds and other writings, in the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and Kentucky. 1 Vol. 8vo. 528 pages. [The chief object of this Digest is to present to the profession, in a cheap and convenient form, a skeleton of the whole of the reported decisions in the North-western States. The cases are briefly though accurately digested, and a reference to all the material points carefully observed. The appendix forms a condensation of matter difficult of attainment in distant states, and peculiarly valuable to such members of the profession as may contemplate migrating to the west, from other sections of the union. There is not, probably, a lawyer in extensive practice in the United States, who has not at times experienced more or less difficulty in ascertaining the requirements for the acknowledgment of deeds and other writings, in some of the states above enumerated. By the appendix to this digest, this difficulty is removed. The whole forms a manual so valuable, cheap, and convenient, that it cannot fail to be acceptable to the profession throughout the union.] LAND LAWS OF OHIO. Being a compilation of the Laws, Resolutions, Treaties, and Ordinances of the General and State Governments, which relate to Lands in the State of Ohio; including the Laws adopted by the Governor and Judges, the Laws of the Territorial Legislature, and the Laws of this State, to the years 1815-16. Compiled by the Hon. Gustavus Swan, and published by virtue of a resolution of the General Assembly, passed January 22, 1825, 1 vol. 8vo. [The above work will be found eminently useful to gentlemen of the Bar, it being arranged under the following general heads, to each of which are affixed copious notes and references, to all the laws in force on the same subjects, up to the present date, viz. United States Military Bounties, Ohio Company's Purchase, John Cleves Symmes's Purchase, Sales of Public Lands in Ohio, Refugee Lands, Lands of the United Brethren, Western Reserve of Connecticut and Sufferers' Land, Virginia Military Bounties, French Grant, Donations, Grants and Privileges to Ohio, Lands for the support of the Gospel and Schools, North Western Territory, Agents to sell and convey lands, Attachment, Decrees in Chancery, Decrees in Divorce, Deeds, how executed and recorded, Descents, Dower, Entailment, Field Notes, Fraudulent Conveyances, etc., Gaming Considerations, etc., Judgments and Executions, Mortgages, Occupying Claimants, Partitions, Probate and Orphan's Courts, &c.; Real Contracts, how enforced, Seals, Tax, Town Plats, Recording, Vacating, etc., Wills, etc, Appendix, etc.] Mr. Elliot, the editor of the AMERICAN DIPLOMATIC CODE, has received the following flattering testimonials of the value and accuracy of his work. From the Secretary of State. "Washington, June 30, 1834. To Jonathan Elliot, Esq. editor of the American Diplomatic Code. Sir,-It gives me pleasure to state, that, from the examination I was able to give to your work, I was satisfied of its value to those engaged in the Diplomatic Service of the United States, and, therefore, caused it to be distributed among all our diplomatic agents, as well as to the principal consuls; and have, likewise, adopted it for the use of the Department of State. I am, very respectfully, Sir, your obedient servant, LOUIS MCLANE." From an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. "Washington, February 15, 1834. Dear Sir, I have run over, though you may well suppose, rather hastily, your 'American Diplomatic Code.' It ap pears to me to be a very valuable work, for all persons who desire to have a knowledge of our Diplomatic History, of our Treaties, and of the general principles of Public Law applicable to our Foreign Relations. It seems to me, also, almost indispensable for the library of a statesman, and the researches of a jurist. It supplies a void which has been long felt and lamented; and I cannot doubt that it will obtain general success by the fulness, as well as the variety of its important materials. I am, very respectfully, your obliged serJOSEPH STORY. vant, "JONATHAN ELLIOT, ESQ." From a Representative of Congress from Pennsylvania. "Dear Sir,—I have no doubt the American Diplomatic Code will prove a work of convenient reference, to all those who are disposed, or required, to give their attention to the Diplomatic Relations of the United States, or to the Principles of National Law. I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant. HOR. BINNEY. "J. ELLIOT, Esq.' April 4, 1834. "London, June 1, 1837. Dear Sir,-I did not fail to present your Diplomatic Code to the King, and enclose you a copy of Sir Herbert Taylor's letter on the subject. You will see the flattering manner in which your work has been accepted, and which I take pleasure in communicating to you. I am, dear sir, your obedient servant, MR. JONATHAN ELLIOT, Washington." A. STEVENSON. Sir Herbert Taylor to Mr. Stevenson. Windsor Castle, May 19, 1837. Sir,I did not fail to mention to the king the verbal communication with which you favored me, when I had the honor of being introduced to you, at the levee at St. James's; and I have since submitted to His Majesty your letter and the accompanying volumes of the American Diplomatic Code, with the letter of Mr. Elliot, the author. The King has honored me with his commands, to thank you for the trouble you have taken; and to request that you will have the goodness to convey to Mr. Elliot, His Majesty's acknowledgments for his obliging attention in sending him a copy of his valuable work, which His Majesty has examined with great satisfaction. I have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, H. TAYLOR. ANDREW STEVENSON, ESQ. &c. &c. Aux Tuileries, le 17 Novembre, 1839. Cabinet du Roi.

Sir,-The copy of the American Diplomatic Code, which you have been so kind as to present to His Majesty, has been laid before him, together with the letter which accompanied the work.
