PREFACE

TO THE SECOND EDITION.

My original purpose in publishing this book is fully explained in the former preface. In the present edition, I have made such alterations and additions as experience taught me to believe would increase the usefulness of the work. Upon some of the more important topics I have given, in the Notes, an abstract of the leading cases. Upon others, I have enlarged the text. In the department of Constitutional Law, I have availed myself of the new light derived from the Madison Papers. I have added two Lectures upon International Law. I have made the Law of Procedure more intelligible, by annexing the most approved forms. And I have thrown into the Appendix the text of our fundamental law, together with a catalogue of the most important books. The first edition was received with far more favor than I had a right to expect; and I think I may venture to assure the public that the second is a decided improvement upon the first.

PREFACE

TO THE THIRD EDITION.

In this edition I have made such changes in the text as the progress of the of the age in Legislation and Jurisprudence made necessary, and have added one Lecture upon Admiralty Procedure. I have also added a large number of Notes upon some of the leading titles, especially upon the law of Real Property. And, in order that the volume might not be enlarged to an inconvenient size, I have omitted the Appendix altogether.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 1, 1855.
