Notes Of ChaElcs Butler Esq,
The iollowna extract ola letter from the Pro

perceived from the above Prospectus, thai The

has been adopted by the American publisher,
viz ne addition of Mr.. Buffers Notes, winch
will give the American a decided superiority O.
yeIthe English Edition.
Z" | am happy to hear, that there is about to be
a publication IN the United States OF Thomas
edition OF CoI>es Llttleton. lmost cordially wish
it an extensive circulation | presume II will
contain Butler notes, a well is Hmglaye's--If
SO, this will be greatly superior TO int London
edton---tor the Editor Of that was Obliged, from
regard OF unspenl copy right 10 omit them
Thus complete, should pronounce H. perhaps
the very best book OF English Law that IS ex /,
ant for the Student, and | add, tot the Ptaetl-
toner. II has most doseryedly been nude the
text book 9th University of Virginia toi be
ginners There will now be no excuse for the
Law Student 10 omit Coke Littleton from his
course, since il is arranged according to Lord
IIalcs analy Sis and improved by the erndltion
which such men as Hargrave, Butler aud Tho

You cannot publish book more important 10
the profession Such an Arrangement ofthc
matter of Coke's Isl Institute, has long been
desideratum Al faras have Examined II
think its value Will be- increased by the addition
OF Buffers Notes, winch the Lnglsh editors were
prevented by the copy right from repuhllsh'ng.
II Is now the best book that can be put into the
hands OF the students aud shall certainly re
commend Il wherever ny influence may extend.

| want Of system has always been a subject Of
complaint A. tbs defect has beeh more felf SINCE
the publication Of the elegant well arranged
commentaries Of btdekstouc, and other merto-
| rious freaiiacs upon particular branches of the
| law.--We have ever made il trAt book IN or
law school, although It's entire want Of order has
| induced others 10 omit IT, Great as its defects
were in this particular, they have been entirely
overcome by the patient industry, sound JUDI
mcnt, and extensive learning oil lis present cdH.
OF, who has shown hmselfthe worthy successor
of Hargraye and Butler. The omission Of the
notes Of the latter, must detract much from TIE
value ofthe English edition, although their place
is in measure supplied by the present editor
! All who acquainted with the value ofRlr But.
ler's labours must rejoice than his notes arc to
| be added To your edition. The notes Of hlr.
Thomas indicate great industry, accumen and
talent, and if mistake not will greatly enhance
the value OF the work.
