This was the first and is the only attempt that has yet been made in our country, to give a general comparative view of local law, peculiar to each State, and its variations from the English Common Law.

The author proposed, in the first and second volumes, to have embraced all that pertained to Federal Jurisprudence, but want of patronage in the undertaking, at first, and finally death, prevented the accomplishment of his useful design. The published volumes were of great and universal practical value when they first appeared, but are now, in part, obsolete, from the continuous changes in State Legislation, though they still retain an historical importance that no time can diminish.
