Dear Bik,
f have received with great pleasure
the Srst volume of your edition olthe Sta*
tu'es ot Virgii in at Large ; U am sx.r^me* (
ly glad tha you have been able to make >!
such a progress in a work of such real^m- j
portaccs, not only 10 the gentlemen of ibe :
profession, hot to the community at hrge.,
Few persons have more reason to estimate j
tho value of such an undertaking than I
myself; having for Gvc and twenty y^ars
been endeavoring, in vain, to procuieco
p.es of cur public a£l3 from the period
of (hs revival in 1705, to that of our
revolution* And even from the latter pa*
riud to the end of the last century, r
was nearly tvren y years before 1 cou d
procure copies nl all the aci* of the se
vcral conventions, and succeeding legis
lature;. I lie unfortunate policy of omit
ting laws which h?d either expired, had
been repcrded#-of were consolidated in
the successive revisals made during tlie
lost ranlllrv ren#%+mA >1 .iVm.w I 1« . ^
sible to trace any subject which had en
gaged the attention of successive legisla
tures through all the mazes ef its pro
gress. Nothing but a complete edition of
our laws, at latge, can afford that light,
*o necessary to the well understanding of
the laws, and the distribution of justice,
in our common country. A work of such
magnitude and importance must be at
tended with infinite labour and expense.
You bare my sincere wishes for your
•uccess in completing that work, and
that it may receive that general encou
ragement to which it is ent iled from so
many important considerations.
I am, respectfully,
Dear Sir,
. Your most ob*t. Servant,

Dear Sir,
Beside* |the examination, tthich I
gave with Mr Munftrd, to your first vo
lume of the old Stattt es at Large, 1 have
igain perused with attention, the copy
which you so kindly presented to me.
I am really pleased to find, that the
materials for a correct history of our
country, are, at last coming to light { and |
that those laws which form In so many '
instance*, the rule of our property, have
r,e*m saved from the wreck of time, by the
means of one, to whom we are indebted
for so many acts, which he has done for
the good of Iv* coen ryi and allow me
to say, that in >h.s your Labour• have not
been let* descivmgt and 1 hope, will be
amply requited, by a generous public- for
giving topoVerity a work so deserving of1
iheir attention and piet>eivviion.

Very snceiely your friend,

19. \s Tattl'd* to Mr. J/cntrxg _
A necessary attention to the busi.it-.s of
the court, has disabled S. R. from leading
attentively, the whole of the firn votuma
of the Statutes nt Large i He can. here,
fore, give no satisfactory opinion upon the
character of the laws contain :d therein.
It is easy,however, to perceive that th.s
laborious work has been executed wth
great care and fidelity, or, the part of
Mr. Hening, to whom, in the opinion
ofS. R. our countrymen, iis all generati..
ons, will be indebted, for phci:t< bey'nd
the reach of acciden*, sla u ti which ex
isted only in munux-.pi, and, in sonic ,iu
stances, perhaps, only in a single copy*
It is true that, at the pieseut day, th* s* a .
lutes contained in the first volume, ere of
little comparative impor.ance as tours ; ha
ving grown ob",olce nr been rrpiaced by
others: but they alTotda rich treasure tor
Historians ; and, in themselves, contain an
| excellent history, of Ihe situation, po
licy, institutions, opinions and languuge nf
our forefathers* It will be seen that they
possessed that hardy and deter m:ued spi
rit, which couid not be appalled by d<Hi
cullies,and has enabled their posterity, <n
Irss than two centuries, to outstrip tl>«
nations of the old world, as far in the wis.
dom and justice of their political institu.
t ons, as in the enjoyment of civil liberty*
If the work in question ware, therefore,
o stop here; it is undoubtedly entitled to
the patronage of every public .pirited A.
meric.tn .* but, as is it advances, it will be
ef emin"T‘ r.aeticml utility. It Will, (es.
penally if aided by a generot index) ena.
ble Judges and Lawyers to seo, at ono
view, every aft which has ever been pus.
;ed on any subject; and thus conduct
them to the happiest reml , in eviscera
ting the meaning of ihe legislature.
R. therefore earnestly wishes that no ad- •
i verse state of th'ng-i may occur, to arre.t

that if the same care and alteu.iun be used

of .great utility, not only to Juuge*. Li svvai-s.
