RECOMMENDATIONS,
by eminent divines, Judge* andge-ie
UA L3.
“It is a surprising fact that even the A
merican People know but little of George
Washington. They have indeed heard a
great deal of h;3 Public Life; of his M-li
tary Character, and Political Talents, but
hardly any thing of his private Life ant]
Virtue?,
“ Many intelligent persons have ardent.,
ly -wished to »ec n faithful account of these,
not only as a debt of gratitude to U:m, l»u.
as a tine example to our children.
" I'he Author has performed (hia task
in a very satisfactory manner. Hit Ante *
dotes of Washington present the supreme
excellence of religion, with the trahscen.
d .fit dignity, rhurm and usefulness of th«. |
rtJpcctive virtues in domestic, civil and nn •
lltary scenes. The moral sensibility and
ge.iiutof the writer w.ums the heart and
imagination of his readers. His drscrip.
tivc fancy paints the occasional scenes ol
Naluttf in plcusiug views; While hit flash*
es of comic w.t give an agreeable rebel to
the mind, and render the serious truths
•nor* lmprc**ivc, especially on the youi.^
reader.”

The following letters addressed to the
editor, since the publication of the 15/
V olume are from gentlemen eminently
qualified to form an opinion of the
importance of the work.
MONTICELL J, Dec. 1. 1S09.
Sir,
l HAVE duly received t?ie 1st Vol
of your Collection of our Statutes at I
Lu* g *, and re u n you my thanks for it.
i’he opinion I entertain af the impor- {
Lancs of the work tnay be justly infer- 1
red from the trouble and expense 1 in
curred during the earlier part of xr.y
life, to save such remains of our anci
ent laivs a* were then still in existence.
Thttgdkcpilation appears to be correct
ly atpti roUiciously made, and give^ us
exactly what I hud so long considered
a desideratum for cur country. It
sheds a new light oil our early history.,
and furnishes additional security to the 1
tenure of our rights and property. Sin
cerely wishing you mjpp reap the re
ward you have merited, I tenderyuu

respect! a f '*•

RICHMOND, Nov. 2*lth 1809.
Dear Sir,
I have recev*d with great pleasure
the first volume of your edition of the
Statutes ofVirgicia at Large ; and am
extremely glad that you have been a
ble to make such a progress in a work
of such real importance, uot only to the
gentlemen of the profession but to the
comnmlity at large. Few persons
ua* vMpc igaaww wv/ u-3lllH4Vw tug Vtfl.
ue of such an underiaking than myself t
having for five and twenty years been
endeavoring, in vain, to procure copies
of our public acts froir the period of
t 'e revisal in 1705,10 that of our revo
lution. And even from the latter pe
j riddto the end of the last century, it
was nearly twenty years before I could
procure copies of all the acts of the se
veral conventions, «*nd succeeding le
gislatures. The unfortunate policy of
omitting laws which had either ex
pired, had been repealed, or were
consolidated in tne successive revi
salft made during the last century, ren
dered it almost impossible to trace a
ny subject wh.ch hail engaged the at
tention of successive legislatures
through all the maz-s of its pr ;gresa.
Nothjjw but a corr.pl" te edition ol
our Ws at la gc, can afford that
light, so necessary to the well under
standing of the law*., and the distribu
tion of justice in our common country.
A work of such magnitude and im
portance must be attended witli infi.
nite labour and expense. You have
my sincere wishes lor your success in
completing that work, and that it may
receive that geaeral encouragement
to which it is entitled from so many
important consider Jtfons.

S. ROANE’S respects to Mr HEM
ING.
A necessary attention to the busi
ness of the courr, has disabled S. 11.
i troil\rca^jnq attentively, tire whole ufc"
theJ^t volume of the Statutes at
Lar^p ; He can therefore, give ui>
satisfactory opinion upon toe 'charts"ter
of the laws contained therein. It is
easy, however, to perceive that this la
borious work has been executed wkb
great care and fidelity, on the part of
Mr Hening, to whom, in the oninioa
°j S.^Vmr countrymen, in all genera
tions, tjrllbe Indebted, for placing be
yond tK,e reach of accident, statutes
which existed only in manuscript, and,
in some instances, perhaps, only in a
singie copy. I* is true -that, at this
present day, thd statutes* contained ia
the first volume, a*e of little conipaia*’ '
tive importance as law* ; having giowis
obsolete or been replaced by others ;
but they aiT -ri a* rtch^reasure for Hie
tortafw } vmi, in r.h e^ffclves, .contain an
cxcclla«Yistory, o«hc si uatioh, po
licy, itw i\u:iorts^Hlipi'dons aftd lan
g *age of our foref *tl|Lrs. Ic will bo
seen that they possessed that hardv
and determined snirit, which could
not be appalled by difficulties, and ha»
enabled their posterity, in less than
two centuries to outstrip the nations of
the old'.vorld, as far in -t'-e wisdom &
justic^ofyibeir political institutions
as in tleve\jovm* nt ot civil liberty, if
the work^ii^question were, therefore,
to stop here, it is undoubtedly entitled
to the patronage of every public spirit
ed American $ but i*.s it advances,
it will be of eminent practical utility.
It will, (especially if aided by a gencr*
al index) ena ne Judges and Lawyers
to see, at one view, every act which
Iras ever been passed on any subj -ct ;
and thus conduct them to the happiest
result, in eviscerating the meaning of
the legislature. S. R. therefore tar.
neatly wishes that no ZSviZZZ
things may occur, to arrest the ca ir*
completion otthe undertaking.
