•I red importance, not only tn the gentlemen
%F'<he profession, but to the community at Urge.—
fVw pev*f>ns have more re; son to estimate the value
at «|dh an, tthtie.rt- king than myself > having for
♦r* and twenty years been endeavouring, in vsin, to
jjl’dwwre inpies of our publick acts from the period of
ft|e revisal in 1701, to that of our revolution. And
even from thh latter period to the end of the last cen
tury, it was nearly twenty year* before I could pro
cure copies of all the acts of the several conventions,
and succeeding legislatures. The unfortunate policy
omitting law* which had either expired, had been
jfepested, or were consolidated in the successive re
prisals made during the last century, rendered it al>
jmost impossible to trace any subject which had en
gaged the attention of surcewive legislatures through
dt ... '
ttpe maces of its progress. Nothing but a cnm
te edition of our laws, at large, can afford that
it, so necessary to the well understanding of the
rfL 'and the distribution of justice, in our common
nountry. A work of such magnitude and import
ance must be attended with infinite labour and ex
pence.- You.have my sincere wishes for your sue

laved frt'm the wreck of time, by the means of, one,
to Whom we are indebted for so’ many acts, which he
lute done for the good of his country ; and allow me

and reduces thd independent and affluent,together with theii
families, to poverty and distress. To provide an additional
gpard against calamities of this nature, has been the prima
ry motiVe of this Institution : and the directors engage
to conduct its concerns, with a fairness, candour and libera
