There are two sources of information on these
subjects which have never yet been fully ex-
plored, and which, nevertheless, are overflow
ing fountains of knowledge. Imean the Stat
utes, and the proceedings of the Court of Law.
At an early period of life REQUIRED, with some
degree of attention, to both these sources of in
formation; not so much for professional purpo
ses, for the calculation of the progress of So
ciety. l acquainted myself with the object,
and purposes, and substance of every published
Statute in British Legislation These showed
me what the Legislature of the country was con-
cerned in from time to time, and from wear to
year. And learned from the reports of con-
troversles, in the courts of Law, what were
the pursuits and occupations of individuals and
what the objects which most earnestly engaged
attention. l hardly know ANYTHING which
more repays research than studies of this kind.
We learn from them what pursuits occupied
men during the feudal ages. We see the eff
forts OF society to throw off the chains of the
teudal dominion. We see, too, in most inter-
estlng manner the ingenious divices resorted to
to break the thraldom ofpersonal slavery. We
see the beginning of manufacturing interests,
and at length bursts upon us the full splendor of
the commercial age.
Littleton, Coke, Plowden, Dhat are hey?-
