THE LAWS OF MISSISSIPPI.


AW, being the rule of action pre-
IL scribed by the supreme power ofthe
State, commanding what is right, and prohi-
biting what is wrong, an acquaintance with
its provisions is desirable to the scholar,
the legislator, the planter and mechanic,
as well as the lawyer by profession. All
classes ofsociety, in republican govern
ment, like our own, dependent, for the per-
petuity of its institutions, alone on an en-
lightened public sentiment, require some
knowledge of their legal cnactments, upon
which their lives, liberties, and their for
tunes depend.


The Laws of Mississippi, of a general
nature as enacted by her successive legis-
latures, lie scattered in numerous volumes,
buried under mass of private acts, of inn
portance to those alone who are directly
interested in their provisions, and offering
by their bulk, and want of arrangement,
an almost insuperable barrier to that gene
raj dissemination oftheir contents, amongst
the great mass of the people, which their
importance would seem to require.


To collect and arrange all the laws of a
general nature now in force, in this state,
under their appropriate titles, together
with suitable digested index, and superin-
tending in person the completion of the
work, until ready for delivery, viii be a la
Dor ofno small magnitude. The support
and patronage ofthe intelligent citizens
Of this great state, feel confident will not
be withheld from aiding in the accomplish
ment of work which will more widely
disseminate a knowledge of our institu-
tions, and the wisdom on which they are
based T. J. FOX ALDEN.
