Excerpt from Catalogue of Books Relating to the Literature of the Law Collected by the Late John; Pruyn This Catalogue covers the Library relating to the Literature of the Law, brought together by my Husband, the late John V. L. Pruyn of Albany, Chancellor of the University of the State of New York. The collecting of these volumes was one of the recreations of a useful life. It afforded unfailing enjoyment through many years of active professional work, and completed, it brought companionship in his later days. Early in his legal career, Mr. Pruyn set aside certain securi ties, the principal and increase of which kept constantly ih vested, provided a fund for the indulgence of this literary taste. Many publications which it is now difficult or impossible to find, were thus preserved. This volume sets down in order the result of his forethought and discriminating judgment.
