COMMENDATORY LETTERS.

MAJOR O. M. WILSON:

[From Gov. BAKER, of Indiana.]

Dear Sir:-I have examined the advanced sheets of the forthcoming edition of your Digest of Parliamentary Law, and do not hesitate to say that it is a great improvement on the first edition. It evinces industry and good judgment in the arrangement of the matter, and in the copious citation of authorities. I trust you will find a large demand for the work, and that it will be appreciated by the public, as I think it should be.

Yours, truly,

CONRAD BAKER.

[From FRED. C. BRIGHTLY, Esq., of Philadelphia.]

Messrs. KAY & BROTHER:

PHILADELPHIA, 10th January, 1869.

Gentlemen-I have looked through the MS. of Major Wilson's Digest of Parliamentary Law, and am much pleased with the work. The plan is certainly an original one, as applied to the subject-matter, and it appears to have been carried out with fidelity. It exhibits great research into a subject, not near as much studied as it ought to be by the reading portion of the people of a representative republic. We have larger works on the subject, but this presents the various points of Parliamentary Law in a concise manner and in a compact form, so arranged as to be brought into use at a minute's notice. This is a great advantage, and will render the work a proper vade mecum for every deliberative assembly (and their name is legion) in our country. I wish the learned author that success which his labors so richly deserve, and which I have no doubt they will achieve for him.

Respectfully,

FRED. C. BRIGHTLY.
