statute book

When the danger was over, and the Fundamental Law was passed, there was no excuse for its further maintenance on the Statute-book.

I doubt if there be another nation on the globe having the brass and the baseness to put such a law on the statute-book.

The statute-book demonstrates that the law was steadily bettering the condition of the slave.

Why, then, should men of good feeling be unwilling to wipe them from the statute-book?
