 H. Lincoln Phelps, Principal of the Literary Department 

 of the Young Ladies' Seminary, at West Chester, Pa., 

 formerly of the Troy Seminary, JY. Y., Author of 'Familiar 

 Lectures on Botany,' 'Female Student,' S^c. 



The object of this Work may be gathered from the following re- 

 marks of Mrs. Phelps. " A popular work on the principles of law, witli 

 stories illustrating these principles, might be very profitable to people 

 in common life, as well as to children. The ward cheated by a guard- 

 ian, the widow imposed on by administrators or executors, the toife 

 abandoned by a husband, with whom she had trusted her paternal in- 

 heritance, the partner in business, overreached by his crafty associate, 

 for want of a knowledge of the operations of the law, — all these might 

 be exhibited in such a way as to teach the necessity of legal knowledge 

 to both sexes, and to all ages and classes."
