In the present edition, this volume has been revised and corrected, as far as the short period which has elapsed since the publication of the first would permit, with the endeavor of the Author to make it more deserving of the favor with which it has been received. The Laws of the United States are cited from the edition of Mr. Peters, continued by Mr. Minot, and published by Messrs. Little, Brown, & Co., this being now mostly in use, and incomparably the best which has been published. CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts, October, 1853. |
