A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The favorable reception given to the former edition of the following work, has encouraged the author to devote to its revision the health and leisure vouchsafed to his declining years. By a more frequent and extensive citation of authorities, he has endeavored to impart to it a more professional aspect and authentic character. He has added the most important subsequent decisions upon constitutional questions, both of the Federal and State Courts, down, as nearly as possible? to the present time, and included many earlier cases not noticed on the former occasion as not falling within a plan adapted merely to a particular and limited purpose. Thus has he attempted to render the production more acceptable to the judicial, as well as more useful to the general scholar, and to afford indeed to all, and especially to those foreigners who may desire information in regard to our political institutions, the means of acquiring it in a compendious and convenient form. If in this he has succeeded, he trusts he may in some measure have discharged the debt which, according to Lord Coke, every man owes to his profession, in this case, the double duty of the Lawyer and the Teacher. I nglewood, near Morristown, N. J., August 1, 1866.

Présentation de l'éditeur

My dear Sir, Relying for forgiveness upon an uninterruptedpos session of your friendship of more than twenty years, under colour, at least, of title I venture, without your knowledge or consent, to inscribe to you a Treatise on the Constitutional Jurisprudence of the United States. In this act I do but make restitution of your own property, or, perhaps, to express myself more properly, tender payment for the use of it; for you will soon discover that, next to the contemporaneous expositions of the authors of The Federalist, I have drawn my materials more largely and freely from your Commentaries and the lucid and deep investigations of the late Chief-justice Marshall than from any other source. And although the responses of that great oracle of the Constitution have ceased, yet may we hope that the inspiration will not be withdrawn while your corresponding adjudications and opinions shall be quoted as authority in the court wherein he so long and auspiciously presided.
