Is the best and handiest Inkstand now in use for the following reasons: 1st. It is always closed and preserves the ink from contact with the air. 2d. Although closed, the ink is always accessible to the pen. 3d. Whether there is much or little ink in the inkstand, the pen always takes the same quantity, and not more than required. 4th. Ink is obtained quicker from it than from any other inkstand, a desideratum for rapid writers. 5th. No blots are made; any surplus of ink on the pen being drawn back by the funnel. 6th. The ink being stirred up every time it is used, always remains uniform and fresh. 7th. The inkstand may be dropped or upset without spilling a drop of ink. DIRECTIONS. To pour the Ink into the Inkstand: Take off the top by turning it to the left, and close it by pushing it slightly down, and then turn towards your right. To take Ink. Plunge the pen perpendicularly to the bottom of the porcelain funnel and press it slightly. The pen bearing upon the sides will not suffer. The necessary pressure is so little that after a short time it will be exercised unknowingly. The India rubber shield and funnel should be washed every two or three months, according to kind of ink used. N. B.-If by increased temperature, a little ink should remain in the funnel, it is only necessary to open the inkstand, to raise the rubber so as to let the air out, and then close it again. By following these directions everybody will soon acknowledge that this inkstand has a great and uncontestable superiority over all others. UNITED STATES DIGEST. FIRST SERIES. A Digest of Decisions of the Various Courts within the United States, from the Earliest Period to the Year 1870; to be Completed in about 12 Volumes. ROYAL 8VO, SHEEP, $7.50 per Vol. Comprising all the American Decisions Digested in Thirty-one Volumes of the United States Digest, with Careful Revision, and Imported Additions. By BENJAMIN VAUGHAN ABBOTT. VOL. I. READY IN JANUARY. To give a convenient exhibit of the entire body of adjudications of the American courts is the object of this UNITED STATES DIGEST. The First series comprises the period from the beginning of our judicial history to the year 1870. The Second series continues the work in annual volumes, from that time. The basis of the first series is the well-known and widely used United States DigEST. That work has always been regarded as admirable in design and successful in execution. But it reached (1870) thirty-one volumes; and thus grew to require, for a view of any single subjec1, an examination of twenty-six successive books. The present work includes a rearrangement of the substantial contents of these serial volumes, under one alphabet. Omission or condensation is not the purpose. The object is to reproduce in more convenis nt form, and under improved arrangement, all that is valuable of the statement of American cases, contained in the former work. That work omitted some volumes of American reports. These volumes have been included in this Digest. The whole body of American reports is therefore represented. In planning the mode of executing the task, the friends of the former UNITED STATES DIGEST have been consulted extensively, and the undersigned has been governed by their views. Upon the question of classification, the general preference has been to follow substantially the classification of the former work; admitting, however, moderate alterations, to accommodate the system to the changes in legal nomenclature which have been so widely introduced by legislation and codification in recent years. A full Table of Contents, exhibiting the classification employed, will appear at the close of the last volume. Upon the arrangement of decisions under the separate divisions and subdivisions, a general wish has been expressed for a change of method. In the former work, the decisions gathered under any one subdivision of a title were, generally, arranged by States in a geographic order. In this, the logical connection of the decisions is made the leading guide in arrangement. If the subject appears to be one depending on principles and considerations of general operation, so that a comparison or contrast of decisions gathered from various jurisdictions promises to be useful, the decisions are arranged in logical order of subject-matter. If the subject is one governed by local, positive law, so that the reader is chiefly concerned to know what has been, in fact, the course of decision in each State distinctly, the decisions are arranged by States; following, however, the alphabetic order. This method of arrangement, deemed adapted to subserve the study of comparative jurisprudence, and to facilitate efforts to harmonize the decisions, is a leading difference between the present work and its predecessor. Upon the question whether the size of the work might be reduced by any omission of deci ionssuch, for example, as those which have become obsolete by changes in statute law, those which are purely of local or special application, and those which have been disapproved or overruled-the expression of opinion has been strongly in the negative. With very few exceptions, therefore, chiefly some decisions which have directly and unequivocally reversed in a higher court, the editor has aimed to present, at least by way of citation, and generally in full statement, all the cases found in the older work. This Digest therefore exhibits the history and growth of our law, as well as its present rules; and care should be taken, by the reader, to distinguish between what is past and historic, and what is present and operative. This revision of the UNITED STATES DIGEST will reduce it to less than one half its present size; and it is confidently hoped that they will be contained in twelve volumes. DECEMBER, 1873.
