Constitutional Law: Being a Collection of Points Arising Upon the Constitution and Jurisprudence of the United States Which Have Been Settled by Judicial Decision and Practice (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Constitutional Law: Being a Collection of Points Arising Upon the Constitution and Jurisprudence of the United States Which Have Been Settled by Judicial Decision and Practice

Tue author of the following treatise believes its object and plan to be novel. He has met with no work, whence he could derive assistance. He does not doubt, that many imperfections may be found in it, which he has himself been unable to detect or remedy. The learned and candid reader will appre ciate the difficulties attending the undertaking, and make every reasonable allowance.

Every American lawyer must feel the utility of re ducing to system, the principles and practice of our National Jurisprudence, of tracing them up to their constitutional source, and of exhibiting, in a succinct manner, the general origin, and uniform harmony, of the whole. If the writer has succeeded in laying the foundation for a work of this kind, he will be satisfied; leaving to more competent hands, the completion of a task, which must greatly aid in the diffusion of knowledge, on subjects of the highest importance, and most extensive application.
