The following article appears as a prefix to the first volume of reported cases of the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia, from the preface to which, as an explanation for its insertion in that volume, the following extract is taken: Whilst it is not designed to attain to the dignity of formal history, is deemed proper in order that the events therein recorded may not pass from memory, and at tlie same time to provide some accessible memoranda, useful to the lawyer in his practice and convenient reference by alh The main events of the movement wliich culminated in the estab Hshment of the state of West Virginia, are arranged in the order in which they transpired, together with such extraneous facts as it is tliought proper to give, that the reader may arrive at an intelligent conclusion on the whole subject. With what accuracy and faithfulness the duty (imposed by the Court) has been performed, the public must judge. No pretension to infallibility, either in style or judgment, is claimed. It was written at the close of the great struggle, out of which sprang the vigorous young state within whose borders, the author was born. If it is tinged with the white heat of the conflict, the afterglow may not be unworthy. The duties of the hour were discharged ;the then future has now become history. THE AUTHOH. MORGANTOWN, May,
