From this reprefentation, it is cafy to imagine the great labor, and difficulty of becomin g thorough mailers of our laws. The flu dent mull wander through the Wide field of Englifh jurifprudence, without a guide to direc't him in the way. Having acquired mu'ch ufelefs learning, in becoming acquainted with that voluminous code, he finds himfelf forever embarrafied with doubt and uncertainty, for want of ihme general rule, to determine what part of it has been approved of, and adopted by his own country. When he di mc'ts his enquiries to afcertain the common law, introduced by the decifions of our own courts, he can find it only in oral tradition, and the tranfient memory of judges andlawyers. The alphabetical ar rangement of the fiatutes, renders ita laborious effort of the mind, to acquire a fyftematic. Knowledge of them by reading and Rudy. This evidences that the only method of obtaining a knowledge of that fcience, which fiirnifltes rules to which we are confiantly bound to conform our conduéi, is by a long attendance on court and this points out the neceflity and importance of a treatife, that contains a full account of'the inititutions of our country.
