Synopsis
Excerpt from A Digest of the Laws of the State of Georgia: Containing All Statutes and the Substance of All Resolutions of a General and Public Nature, and Now in Force, Which Have Been Passed in the State, Previous to the Session of the General Assembly of December, 1820
The statutes of this state have so accumulated as' to be someé what formidable from their number alone; but they have become so perplexed with amendments, repeals, revivals, and supplea ments; and by frequent modifications of the amending or sup plementary acts, that the law on most subjects is utterly be yond the reach of the people at large, and is not attainable without some difficulty eren hy'the profession. The obvious remedy for this evil was that provided by the Act of 1819, directing the compilation of a digest unincumbered with private or local acts, and presenting to the public in a portable and convenient volume, such laws only as are public in, their nature, and still in force; and these so arranged and indexed as to be readily found.
