Excerpt from The Statesman's Manual, Vol. 4 of 4: Containing the Addresses and Messages of the Presidents of the United States, Inaugural, Annual, and Special, From 1789 to 1858I have had the honor to receive your communication, aecom panying the first volume of the new edition of the Laws of the United States, published by Messrs. Little 6l Brown, of Boston. The Publishers have now delivered five volumes, containing all the general Laws and it has given me great pleasure to have it in my power to certify the highly satisfactory character of this portion of the work. It is, in the highest degree, creditable to the Publishers.Although, by the terms of the Joint Resolution of Congress, my duty was limited to making a contract for one thousand copies, and to certifying that its conditions were complied with, I have been consulted, unreservedly, by the Publishers, in every stage of their work, and have found them at all times ready to adopt any suggestion to secure accu racy in the publication, regardless of personal trouble or of expense.So far as the original Rolls exist, they have been examined and carefully compared by competent persons with the sheets of this edition of the Laws, and if any trivial errors shall be found, in the publication, they can be readily corrected in the stereotyped plates, and thus a perfect edition of the Laws of the United States will be' obtained.I am gratified to find that the order and arrangement prescribed by Congress, in this edition, will greatly facilitate reference, and, I doubt not will be highly satisfactory to the Profession and to the Public.My own experience in a judicial office has impressed me with the great value of such a publication, and I am happy to have contributed in any degree, in the preparation of so creditable a work.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
