a few days, publish a new Edition, being the Fourth,
The Practical Abridgement of the Laws of
toms and Excise." In preparing this Edition, the
Author has not been sat i fied with merely incorporating
the new Customs Consolidation Act, but has exa-
mined minutely every Act of the last Session, in
many of which, though apparently ou subjects totally
unconnected, ate enactments of vital importance to
Mercbantr, Ship-Owners, Ship-Masters, Brokers, and
others, and without attention co which, as well as to
Treaties, Orders in Council, &c. any Work professing
to give the Regulations concerning our Foreign Trade,
must not only be useless, but also mischievous.--
About thirty Acts of Customs and Excise have been
passed in the last Session.
