Thera is np branch of the Law so important to the Merchant,
as well as the Lawyer, as that relating to bills of exchange and
promissory notes. An intimate acquaintance with the conuner-
cial law in this respect is peculiarly essential to the trader, who
too frequently, for want of being sufficiently apprked of the rules
affecting bills, &c. loses the benefit of the security in his.hand ; and
it is also of the greatest importance to every professional man,
because more ready and immediate advice is required from him
in regird to bills and notes, than on almost any other point.
