THE Manuscript Volumes on the Practice before the Master were not put into my hands until Friday. I have looked them over, and communicated to Mr. B. my high opinion of the accuracy, utility, credit and value of the work. I think it would be purchased by all the Practisers and Masters in Chancery who do any real business, and mean to do it skilfully. Letter from T. A. EMMET, Esq. I RETURN the Manuscript work you put in my hands, which I have examined with much pleasure. It seems to me extremely well arranged, and carefully and judiciously executed. I think it will be a very useful. work both to Masters, and Solicitors, and I may also say to counsel, for I have certainly gained much information from it. I hope you may derive as much profit from it, as I think the Community will benefit. |
