Being the productions Of distinguished iurist,

Gus questions Of civil common, international
constitutional, commercial, and municipal law
which have arisen in the course of the admins
tration of the government, and bearing, as they
do, upon nearly every subject of civil polity and
jurisdiction, il necessarily follows that they are
scarcely inferior in Importance to the Constitution
which they defend, and the laws which they ex-
plain They not only set forth the political econo-
my and fundamental principles of the federal gov
ernment, and the rules and regulations enforced
in its administration, but they also define the
powers and duties, and, in many instances, the
compensation Of it's civil and military officers
The subjects Of national sovereignty, neutrality.
extradition, &C.. are therein thoroughly discussed
and our revenue laws, land laws, patent laws
pension laws, &C., commented upon and ex-
planned. II is, therefore, believed that public

attorneys, marshals, collectors of customs, sur
veyors Of ports naval officers, receivers of public
moneys, registers of land Offices, Indian agents
