Présentation de l'éditeur

To demonstrate the usefulness of the following work, which is now offered to the public generally, as well as to the legal profession, a preface might be deemed a work of supererogation, as its utility must be obvious to the general reader. The few remarks which follow, are given more out of a compliance to custom, than as an apology for the work itself. A writer in the British Register very judiciously observes, that Of the subjects of human knowledge, law is far from being the least important ;within the last fifty years, not only general law, but the law of the country in which we live, has been considered as an object of liberal inquiry, and well deserving the attention of the general scholar. The labours of the venerable chancellor Kent, have contributed in no small degree to disseminate this branch of useful knowledge ;through his unwearying exertions and untiring zeal, this beautiful, but abstruse and difficult study has been rendered at once pleasing and instructive. The work of Sir William Blackstone, by the elegance of its style, its lucid arrangement and finished execution, is so well adapted to render the study of the law attractive, and to give a knowledge of the constitution and laws of England, well deserving the attention of every liberal mind, that it has been, (though for many years, more from necessity than choice,) very properly placed in the hands of every law student, but as much of those admirable Commentaries relate to the political constitution of England, so different from our own, to its peculiar institutions, and to rights and duties, public and private, not existing in this country; an American work, exhibiting our own constitution, laws, usages, and civil relations, had long been wanted.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
