W AW, being the rule of action pre-
scribed by the supreme power Of the
State. commanding what is right,
and prohibiting what is wrong, general
acquaintance with its provisions is daslra-
BILE to the scholar, the legislator, the plan
ter and mechanic, as we'll as the lawyer
by profession. All classes of society, IN
republican government, like our own, de-
pendant, for the perpetuity of its instltu-
tons, alone on an enlightened public sem
timent, require some knowledge of the le-
gal enactments, upon which their lives,
liberties and their fortunes depend
The Laws of Mississippi, of a general
nature, as enacted by he successive legis-
latures, lies scattered in numerous vol
umes, buried under mass OF private acts,
of Importance to those alone who are dl-
rectly interested in their provisions, and
offering by their bulk, and the want OF
arrangement, an almost insuperable bar
rier to thot general discrimination OF their
contents, amongst the great mass OF the
people, which theirimportance would seem
to require.
Tocollect and arrange all the laws OF
general nature now in force, in this state,
under their appropriate titles, together
with suitable digested index, and super
intending in person the completion of the
work, until ready for delivery, will be a
labor of no small magnitude. The support
and patronage of she intelligent citizens
of this great state, feel confident will not
be withheld from aiding in the accom-
plishment Of work which will more wide
iy disseminate knowledge of our institu-
tons, and the wisdom on which they are
based.

The extensive and growing interest oil

scientific demands, have awakened atten-

Journal or paper So Exclusively devoted To
literature and science, advocating the doc.
trines of no party.
Feeling the necessity Of such paper,
the Jefferson College and Washington Ly-

periodical entitled "THE SOUTH IVES
TERN JOURNAL" to be devoted to litera-
ture and science, and all subjects interest
ing to the general reader.
