The Lady's Cabinet Lawyer is a brief, clear, and popular

ac- count of the peculiar rights of women, whether as infants, spinsters, wives, or widows. The chief uses of compilations of this kind are, at the utmost, limited to giving a general idea of the subjectin question,so as to prevent persons from being "led by the nose, as asses are," whithersoes er professional advisers may be 'induced to take them with interested objects. If they have a fur- ther influence, they are proverbially mischievous. " He who is his own lawyer has a fool for his client," and doctors never doctor themselves. We may doubt the verities of law and physic, but, as we are constituted, one must be had and the other swallowed, and those who are guessing daily are mare likely to guess right than novices.
