The following extract OF letter from the Pro-
fessor OF Law IN the University of Virginia,
| shows the hieh estimation in which the work is
held in that eminent seat of learning. Ii VIII be
perceived from the above Prospectus, that the
improvement suggested by Professor Lomay,
has been adopted by the American publisher,
viz the addition of MIR. Buffers Notes, which
will give the American decided superiority o.
yerthe English Edition
" | am happy tohear, that there is about 70 be
a publication in the United States Of Thomas
edition OF Cokes Littleton. Imost cordially wish
tan extensive circulation. | presume it will
contain Buffers laotes, as well as Hargrayes-h
so, this will begreatly superior TO the London
editon--for the Editor of that was Obliged, from
regard of an unspent copy right, TO omit them
Thus complete, should pronounce it, perhaps
the very best book of English Law that is e1
tant for the student, aud add, for the Pracii-
toner. lthaS most deservedly been made the

You cannot publish u book more importantt'
