necessary auef:ion to ,h- hu ,ine,s Of
the court, has disabled S. r. from reading
at,en,ively, the whole Of the FIRST yalunrs.
Of the Statues al Large: He can here.
fore, give M satisfactory opinion upon The
characterof the laws contained therein.
1t is easy, however, 10 perceive that ,his
|laborious work has been executed W h
great care and fidelity, OH the part Of.
MIR. Heniug, TO whom, in the spfniof
OF 5. K. our codntrymea, in ali generali.
ons, will be indebted, for placing beyond
the reach Of accident, sta u.es which ex-
listed only in manuscript, and, in some IN.
stances, perhaps. only in single copy.
It true that, at the present day, the s,a.
tutes contained in the frs, volume. are of
little comparative importance as idzys ba-
wing grown obsolete or been replaced by
others; but they afford rich treasure for
Historians and, in themselves, contain am
excellent history, Of the situation, po-
Icy, institutions, opinions and language of
our forefathers. II will he seen that they
possessed that hardy and determines spt-
rit. which could not be- appalled, by diff
culties, and has enabled their posierity, in
less than two centuries, to outstrip
na.ions of the old world, as far in the
dom and justice Of their political insts3
tons, as in the enjoyment OF civil lrbertys
If the work in question were, therefore,
to stop here, it is undoubtedly emitted To-
the patronage of every public spirited A.
mericsn but, as is it advances, it will be
of eminent practical utility. II viii, (es-
pec'aiiy if aided by a generat .index) eua-
bic Judges and Lawyers 10, see, at one
view, every act which has over been pas.
sed on any subject; and thus conduct
them TO the happiest fesur, in eyiscera-
ting the meaning of the legislature. ~,
R;therefore earnestly wishes that no ad.
verse state of things may occur, To arrest
the entire completion OF the undertakings

DEAR SIR,
have received with great pleasure

ly glad that you have. been able TO make
such progress in work of such realim-
poFtanee, not only to the gentlemen efihc
profession, but to the community at large.
Few persons have more reason to estimate
the value of such an undertaking than
myseif; having for FIVE and twenty years

been repealed or were consolidated in
the successive. revisals made during the
last century, rendered it almost impos.
sble to trace 3py subject which had en-
gagged the attention OF successive iegisla-
lures through all the mazes of its pro-
gress. Nothing but a complete edition of
our laws, at large, can afford that light,
so necessary to the well understanding OF
the laws, and the distribution Of justice.
in our common country. A work of such
magnitude and importance must be at.
tended with infinite labour and expense.
You have my sincere wishes for your
success in completing that work, and
that it may receive that general encou.
ragement to which it is enthled from so
many important considerations.
