A Needed and Useful Work

WE commend to our readers a book entitled "American State Papers, Bearing on Sunday Legislation — Legislative, Executive, and Judicial." The first edition was compiled and annotated by William Addison Blakely, of the Chicago Bar, for some years Doctor of Philosophy and Lecturer on Political Science and History in the University of Chicago, member of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. The last edition has been edited by Willard Allen Colcord, of Washington, D. C., author of "The Rights of Man." Contents and Foreword by Judge Thomas M. Cooley, author of "Constitution Limitations." Published by the Religious Liberty Association, of Washington, D. C. This compilation brings together in convenient form, with excellent index, more upon the subject of religious liberty, the utterances of the Government in its threefold phase, and of prominent men, than any other work in existence. It gives the Sunday laws of the various States, the progress which has been made toward religious legislation in this country. Its nearly 800 pages are packed full of just such material as every judge, legislator, executive officer, of any nation, State, or municipality, every teacher, every professional man, and every patriotic citizen, ought to have. We cordially commend it. Its price is only, cloth, $1.25; full law sheep, $2.00; flexible leather, $2.50. It may be obtained at this office.
