Synopsis
Excerpt from The First Part of the Institutes of the Laws of England, or a Commentary Upon Littleton, Not the Name of the Author Only, but of the Law Itself
It is no fmall confolation to l\/ir. Hargrave to accompany this red cital of his failure in the edition, with informat1on of its having fallen into the hands of a profeflional gentleman 1 of'fuch a defcription, as to warrant expeéting' from him a quick and able execution of the re mainder Of the undertaking. As Mr; Hargrave underftands, his fucceffor is prompted to engage ln the work by an extreme partiality for it, and having been in the habit of {tudying and annotating on the coke upon littleton. He alfo poffeffes the important ad' vantage Of having long praetifed in the conveyancing line to which, as Mr. Hargrave can fpeak from his own experience as a barrifter in that branch of the law, a familiarity with the law of real property, and, cohfequently with the writings of littleton and coke, is peculiarly effential. Thefe and other confiderations claim from Mr. Hargrave much beyond a hope, that the depending edition of coke upon littleton will gain confiderably by change of the editor 3 and that the new adventurer inzthis arduous undertaking will f'tamp the remainder of the edition with much greater value than could be reached by any efforts however vigorous from the original editor.
