CHITTY'S CRIMINAL LAW
From the american Jurist and Lac Magazine, fo
L.,

THE extensive Of this book, and its weearned
reputation, render any particular remarks from on lis
character entirely superuous But the notes and refer
euces by Mr. Perkins the American edor TO the present
edition, deserve especial mention. They place their
thor among American annoators by the side of Story and
Mctcali. Mr.. Pcrkins's notes are acute, tho.
rough and learned and what very important appended
with critical accuracy their natural places in the text
Reference has been made to nearly two thousand
cases in addition the former editions All the Amer
can reports have been sed and every case which bears
upon any part of the Criminal Law correctly cited We
do not hesitate to say, that Mr. Perknss labors have
scntially enhanced the value Of Mr.. Chit,ys work

oh, where now are all the pleasures
That once alas / knew
When from the summit Of the hill
Potomac met my view;
And have gazed upon the stream
And on its winding shore
Seen beauty in each swelling wave
Heard music in the roar
The sky above was fairer once
Than now it seems to me,
And sweeter was the innets song
Upon the tall oak tree
Each tlow'r that deck'd the smiling plain
More lovely once was seen =
More beautiful Potomac's hills, e..
And all its vales-more green!
Alas these may not please me now
As they have pleased before;
Since she who gave them all their charms
Doth roam with me no more
Lost is the beauty Of the scene
The music of the wave
Oh, Sister, since the gloomy day
They bore thee TO the grave! FERoNn.

On that lov'd spot, where hopes Elusive lays,

The lunar rays more softly cleaned,
And vesper skies shed purer dew,
And swiller, brighter, rolled the frolic rll

Well see them in their lordly pride,
Those oaks which shade our smiling vale;

And hear its ceaseless solemn wall -

And means because il runs unseen--alone!
