her exce:ent understanding and most affectionate heart will in-

SAMUEL ROllll4l.
I have for some years put employed what leisure I have had,
in preparing materials for a work on Criminal Law ; have
written some observations, and coll2cted facts upon, different
heads which would enter into such a work. What I have written
is not by any means in a state fit for publication, but I should be
glad if some friend of mine would look over it,-and if thought
that there were any extracts or detached parts of it which it
might be useful to publish, either as furiishing good observations
or affording hints which might be serviceable to others who may
treat of the subject, so flinch of them should Ise printed with nay
name.-(The papers are, believe, principally in one of the
boxes of my title dnids.)—That such a rtublication may be in..
jurious to my ceputatioa as an author, or as a Lawyer., I am
quite indifferent about ; if it can be any way useful tkot is all
that I desire. If my Wend Mr. Winsuaw would look over
the papers vlith this view, and decide what should be done
with respect to them, I should be high), gratified—they could
not possibly be In better hands. If it were not to suit him to
ar.dertake suclre task, perhaps my friend Mr. Baoustaus, who
finds time for any thing that has a tendency to the advancement
of human happiness, would be able, notwithstanding his nume-
rous occupations, to perform this office of friendship.

arrrisau, 131 8.
In one of the boxes of my title deeds, which are deposited in
one of the wine-cellars, will be ((send three volumes, which
contain a Journal of the last twelve years of my Life; I wish it
to be preserved, u it may at some time be isteresting to my
children.
