Notes and Explanations.
By WILLIAM HENRY ROWE, Esq. of Lincoln's Inn.
A certain" Critical Review" flippantly asserts, that " the
above edition of Bacon on Uus, in consequence of the very few
corrections It contains, is altogether unnecessary," although there
absolutely are alterations in it, by which even the meaning of the
wet of all the other editions bath been entirely changed, scarcely
less in number than the pages of the work itself ; and consequently
it is moat palpable that those alterations, whether judicious or not
(upon which it is not for the Editor to give any opinion), must
necessarily rsinder the present edition something very different
from being merely" unnecessary!!" But, in order to vindicate
the edition in question, and at the same time to lay bare either the
blindness on the one band, or the malignity on the other, of the
self-dubbed competent and impartial Critic above alluded to, it
will bit quite sufficient to give an extract or two from all the other
Reviews by which the work hash been taken notice of—Reviews
which du not attempt to impose upon the public tither a gross mis-
representation of facts, or a pretended review of books which have
lAA been read.
.0 The peculiar merit and excellence of the present edition
(says the Law Journal) are so apparent as to be inunediately dis-
ccriseelide—l'he first thing remarkable, and we add, prafse-wor•
thy; psi this *edition, is the great number of emendations which the
Editor bath made in the text • some of them, to give a totally dif-
ferent sense front all other ;damn, others to explain material
distinctions, and many to elucidate that which in the former text
was wholly As there are few who would now
read Coke's First Institute, without the late valuable Collllllelr
tars, so we trust there will be au Student who is tempted, as
dun:Ales" all will Ise, by the great mune of Bacon, to study his
Reading on Uses' who will nut be thankful to Mr. Rowe fur the
assistance he has afforded."
Law Journal for 1805, p.lOB, 116, 131.
" Some obscurities' arising partly from e carelessness of its
first Editors, and partly iron' the abstruse nature of the subject,
have long required the aid of a judicious Annotator ; ind we
think that Mr. Rowe has rendered an acceptable service to the
profession (particularly the younger part of it), by the pains which
he has bestowed spun this undertaking." And again," Other
parts of the work contain nutty successful akerations of the text
of former editions, which were involved in deep obscurity,"
Monthly Review fur October, 1806.
" To mention many of the numerous emendations here made
would exceed our limits. The notes ars extremely valuable, both
because they 'Mini facility to the just understanding of the text,
and because they contain able discussions of some of the most
important points in the Law of Uses. These advantages, added
to the judicious alterations in the not itself, render the present
edition • moot voluable present to the profession in gesseral."
