You cannot publish book more important TO
the profession. Such an arrangement of the
matter Of Coke 1T institute, has long been
deoIdcSatum. ArfaraS I have examined il,
think rs value viii he increased b. tine addition
ofButlet's Notes. which the English editors were
prevented by the copy right FROM fepubiishing.
Il is now the best book that can be put into the
hands Of the students, and shall certainly re
commend 1t wherever my influence may extend.

law school, aliho. tgh It's entire want OF order has
induced others TO omit il. Great as It's detects

overcome by the patient industry, sound judg

RI. who has shown himself the worthy successor
OF Harsraye and Butler. The omission OF the
notes Of the latter, must detract much from the
value oflhc English edition, although thrir place
Is in a measure supplied by the present editor
All who are acquainted with the value Of Mr.. but
lers labouFs, must rejoire that his notes are to
be added to your edition. The notes of MIR.
Thomas indicate great industry, aecuncn and
talent and if mistake not, will greatly enhance
