THE LEGAL SUNDAY.

By Editor

Its History and Character.

THIS is the title of No. 22 of the Religious Liberty Library. It was written by James T. Ringgold, of the Baltimore bar, whose ability and knowledge of law are recognized in the legal profession, both as an author and a teacher. It is a clear, logical, and unanswerable setting forth of the arguments against all Sunday laws in every form, and a complete and masterly exposure of every pretended argument in their favor. This important work is divided into four parts and eighteen chapters. Part I gives the "Historical Aspect of the Question," and contains six chapters. Part II treats the "Moral Aspect of the Question," and also contains six chapters. Part III presents the "Constitutional Aspect of the Question," and contains five chapters. Part IV consists of a supplement, which clearly defines the "Distinction between Immorality and Incivility, and between Vice and Crime, with Some Observations on Clerical Slumming." It is not only interesting and instructive, but it is a very able document, that ought to have an extensive circulation among all intelligent people, and especially among the professions. It is a mine of information, and every honest reader of this valuable work will surely be profited.
