TO THE FOURTH EDITION.

In the present Edition the numerous cases which have been decided, since the last publication of this Work, recognizing, impugning or illustrating, the decisions contained in it, have been carefully collected, in the notes now added, which are distinguished from those of the Reporter by being enclosed within brackets. The few additional references which appeared in the Third Edition will be found incorporated in the new notes. Occasionally, when the importance of the subject appeared to justify it, the present Editor has ventured to insert a few more extended annotations, which will not, he trusts, be considered misplaced.
