the Statutes. And I have given, in an Appendix all the Statutes and parts of Statutes relating to the Poor Law, which have been passed since the publication of Mr. Lumley's work.

I have now apprised the reader of what he is to expect in the following work. It is evidently a work of considerable labour, and it required great nicety and care in stating the points contested, and the decisions upon them, in the several cases correctly. But if my readers will give me the credit of having done the work well and carefully, and think the work itself useful and correct, it will fully satisfy any estimate I may have made of the praise I deserve for the manner in which I have executed my duty, and the highest commendation which I claim or expect for the work itself.
