Extract Of letter from Hon. William Jay
to the Author.
"Your analysis Of the slave laws is very
able, and your exhibition of their practical
application by the Southern Courts, evinccs
great and careful research. Your book is
ms impregnable against the charge of exag
geration as Euclid's Geometry, since, like
that, it consists of propositions and demon
strations. The book is not only true, but it
is unquestiOnably true"

THESE Cases, now coming into general
use, are admitted by those who have wit
messed their merits, to be superior to any
other kind of Coffins for depositng in vaults,
or for ordinary interments. The advant-
ages they possess are obvious to all. Being
enamelled inside and out, they are impervi-
Gus to dampness; and the qualification sur
viving friends have in the reflection that the
body is deposited in an imperishable case,
where all that remains Of the deceased is
kept together, without danger of being
crushed by the weight of earth upon it and
free from the irruption Of water or depreda-
tons Of vermn, as is the case where wood
