An ancient tyrant placed his statutes out OF the
reach OF his subjects-so tlat they continual,
violating laws of which they had no knowledge, and
mourning penalties of which they had never heard
Modern legislators accomplish the same end inr
more ndro,ly Every man is bound 10 obey the
laws for Ignorance of the lawcxcuseth no man
yet how is the great mass to learn what the laws
are can they he expected 10 buy and study fifteen,
fty, or five hundred bulky volumes, wherein, amid
multiplicity of obsolete or irrelevant matter, they
told What they may do and what they must leave
undonel Can tha laws, for their use, be condensed
into the compass OF spelling -book2 No, but their
essence their spirit, the substance of these provis
ions which it is importan, that every body should
know, NAV be. This work has bren performed by
Mr. Wedgwood in the volume before us, and the
State Superintendent Of Common Schools and the
Superintendent for Kings County certify that they
have examined his book thoroughly and that the
work is well done. Their opinion is worth far more
than ours could be, if we had time 10 make the ne
cessary examination.


Ofcourse this work is no mere detail Of crimes
forbidden and punishmeuts affixed. Ii plainly ex-
hiniis the rights, duties, and mmunitles OF every
citizen, the framework OF our Government, lis Off
GERS, their functions, &c. &C. Ii is a work full OF
practical information, which every citizen of New
York may study with profit and every town or ward
officer should especially have ii hand. The words
Twelfth Edition speak the public appreciation.
