    The flattering reception, which this work has met with from the pro- fession, demands the grateful acknowledgments of the Author, and his utmost zeal to render the work still more worthy of favour. He has, accordingly, endeavoured to add to this edition whatever of importance has been published since the appearance of the first edition in this coun- try, and in the different countries of Europe, on the various topics which the work embraces; to deduce correct inferences from them, and to make such alterations and improvements as suggested themselves on revision. That these have not been to a trifling extent may be appreciated by a comparison of this with the former edition. For the favourable notices, which have been taken of the work in the different periodicals, the Author is sincerely thankful. He has, on many occasions, profited greatly by their strictures and suggestions. The Author cannot conclude this brief preface without congratulating the profession, and the community in general, that the venerable patriot, to whom he had the honour to dedicate the first edition, is still preserved to his country; and it is with no little gratification, that he embraces another opportunity for expressing those sentiments, which he so warm- ly entertains for that distinguished individual. Baltimore, Dec. 1, 1835.
