For publishing The Laws Of Mississippi.

For publishing The Lnps Of Mississippi.
IT AW, being the rule Of action prescribed BY
H. the supreme power of the state, commanding
what is right, and prohibiting what is wrong, a
general acquaintance with its provisions is desira-
BILE to the scholar, the legislator, the planter, and
mechanic, as well as the lawyer by profession. All
classes of society, in republican government,
like our own, dependant, for the pcrpetui.y Of its
ins,,tutions, alone an enlightened public senti-
ment, require some knowledge of the legal enact
ments, upon which theirliberties and their fortune
depend.
The laws Of Mississippi ofa general nature, as
enacted by her successive legislatures, lie scatter
ed in numerous volumes, buried under ia mass Of
private ac's, OF importance 70 those alone WHO are
directly interested in their provisions, and Offering,
by their bulk, and the want ofarranser ent, an al
most nsuperable barrier to that general dissemina-
ton of their contents, amongst the great mass Of
the people, which their importance would seem To-
require.
To collect and arrange, all the laws Of a general
nature, now in forcein this state, under their ap-
proprate titles. together with suitable digest d
index, and experimenting in person, the compile
ton of of the work, until ready for delivery, will be
a labor ofno small magnitude. Tte support and
patronage oftbe intelligent citizens of this great
state, feel confident, will not be withheld from
aiding in the accomplishment ofa work which will
more widely disseminate knowledge of our insti-
tutions, and the wisdom on which they arc based.
The work will be published in two royal octave
vorumes, comprising from FIVE to seven hundred
pages, containing all after the cnacting clause, ve-
barm, ofevery law now in force, of a general ma
tusc, together with a reference TO the pamphlet
laws. A digested index TO the contens of the yol-
unes, viii be applied bringing at once to the view
a condensed statement ofthe standing law, under
its distinctand appropriate title.
Terms WILDE. to subscribers, Five dolls. d.. i.

tsined be ready for delivery by the first of Janua-
