e ! Few persons have more reason to t-siimatc
e the value of &.icb an under.ak.ng than
•t myself; having for five* and. t wen y ynitb
r been endeavoring, in .vain, to procure co
' pen of our public nils from the period
[. of the revival in 1705, to that of our
i. revolution. And even from the latter pe
I- rind to he end of the lust ceraurj, r
was nearly iv.cn y years before 1 cou'd
9 procure copies of all the acls of the be.
vcral conventions, and succeeding legis
latures, 'i he unfor.una'e policy cl omit,
ting laws which had either expired, had
* i been repealed, or were consolidated in
successive leviwit iitouc me
last century, tendered it almost impos.
sihle to trace any subject which had en.
gaged the attention of successive legisltw
turea through all the maxes of its pro.
gross. Nothing but a complete edition of
our laws, at laige, can afford that light,
so necessary to the well understanding of
the laws, and the distribution of justice,
m our common country. A work of such
magnitude and imjDrtance must b* at.
tended with infla te Itbour and expense.
You have my sincere wishes for your
success in completing that w>rjc, and
