Synopsis
Excerpt from A Compendious Digest of the Statute Law, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprising the Substance and Effect of the Most Material Clauses in All the Public Acts of Parliament in Force Within Great Britain, From Magna Charta, in the Ninth Year of King Henry III. To the Forty-Eighth Year of His Present Majesty King George III
To obviate the difficulties arising from the present crude and indigested state of this extensive code of positive laws, and to facilitate the attainment of a general knowledge of the public acts of parliament now in forcepis the intention of the following work. And as no man, let his rank, em ployment, or situation in ever so elevated, conse Quential, or insignificant, can affirm that he is in no degree afiected by the directions or restrictions of the legislature, or alledge in extenuation of any non-observance, or Sinf fringement of the law, an ignorance of the 'act against which he has offended, it materially concerns him to acquire that knowledge which will preserve and protect him ifrorn the many perplexities to which he is exposed, and may in advertently be involved in, from a deficiency in this point of legal knowledge.
The mode which the Editor has observed, in digesting the substance of the statutes, -is that of alphabetical order, whereby the whole law, on any specific subjectf'is' collected and placed in one point of view. But as some heads include a variety of acts, upon different subjects, it has been deemed expedient, in several instances, to form the general 'title into proper parts and subdivistons -the laws relating to the duties of excise and stamps, and the police of the city of London, are examples of the Editor's.mode 'of arrangement in this respect.
