We have read enough of it to appreciate its simple yet dignified style, and its valuable and correct instruction-altogether to assign to it a high rank among works of its class.-Southern Churchman. It is a truly and well delineated portrait of a Southern home, with all its comforts and enjoyments. We cordially commend it as worthy of perusal.- Watchman and Observer.

The plan of this work is recommended by the Justices of the Supreme Court, in the following letter addressed to the publisher: STATE COURTHOUSE, Richmond, May 15, 1856. We have examined a few of the printed sheets of a work by L. MINOR, Esq., submitted by you to our inspection, and have compared the cases with the more extended reports to be found in the books referred to. A work upon the plan proposed is much needed in Virginia, and carried out, as we have no doubt it will be by Mr. Minor, will be of great utility to the profession and the community at large. We think the work will deserve, and hope it will receive, the patronage of the public. JOHN J. ALLEN, To Mr. A. Morris. Lomax's Executors and Administrators. New Edition.
