for some time been subject of complaint with the
public that complete edition OF all the writings

out, with notes and illustrations, made necessary
by the lapse Of time and changes in public affairs.

sers friends that, in the leisure from more press
ing pursuits, he had written notes to several OF
these speeches, and that others had been prepared
by other hands, and we arc now happy to announce
that they have obtained his consent that such an
edition of his works the public has long desired
to possess should be given to it.

casons.
g. Legal Arguments-Essays.
