“ The scarcity of the Edition published by Authority of the last Convocation, first prompted me to undertake the work; and I was further influenced by the hope that an Appendix, with copious Index and some other Additions might render the Laws more generally useful.

WORSHIPFUL SIR,
YOUR MOST
OBEDIENT SERVANT,
J. T.
Turo 1st. January, 1808. ”
