A sincere wish to benefit the community, by furnishing its most ancient, most constitutional, and most useful officer with a compendious system or manual of his duty and powers, carefully extracted from, and upon an actual perusal of the best authorities, has produced the following sheets - a mere epitome, in fact, of the original compilation. But the utility of the measure seemed, upon second thoughts, to be more favoured by a pamphlet, affording the fullest information in the narrowest compass, than by a volume, which the verbose prolixity of modern statutes, vying, as it were, with each other in conveying the simplest regulation in the most embarrassing manner, and greatest possible number of words, would have extended to a size and price little calculated to invite the class of readers for whom it was principally intended.
