THIS work has been prepared by an association of Lawyers of well known standing and ability—and no pains or expense spared to make the work, every way especially adapted to the wants of every business man in every State in the Union.

The utility of a volume of this character is too obvious to need commendation. The design in its preparation has been to offer the professional man, the farmer, the mechanic, and the business man, a comprehensive and reliable work, which will enable him to draw up any instrument in writing that may be required in the course of business, in a legal form; to furnish him with all such legal information as is usually called for in the various avocations of life: and to make a plain, common sense work, that every body can understand, and which will enable any man or woman to be his or her own lawyer. To make such a work is no small task; but patience and industry are equal to overy enterprise, no matter how difficult, and the result of our labor is in the present volume.
