Excerpt from book: PREFACE TO THE Volume o? the Statutes at The Editor is now enabled to present to the public, a volume of the Statutes at Large, without the omission of a single act, itlier public, private, local or temporary. He has already announced his intention to publish the few acts, which were unavoidably omitted in the former volumes, in an appendix to the last Tolume, with a Gexehal Index to the whole work. Part if the materials have been obtained since the publication of the sixth volume. The colony having, with its usual loyalty, made great exertions to aid the mother country in prosecuting the French and Indian war, much of this volume, is taken up with providing the purse and the sword. Some other acts of a general nature, desire to be particularly noticed. Such as the act providing that Tobacco debts might be paid in money, at a certain stipulated rate (a); the repeal of the act, giving p. reward for Indian scalps (4): an act for encouraging arts and manufactures (c); an act for better regulating the election of burgesses (d); and an act for the relief of insolvent debtors, on the principles of the bankrupt law of England; which never went into operation, it having been repealed at the next session (i), At the end of this volume, the two important proclamations of ir54, and 1763, (from which titles to large tracts of valuable lands, on the western waters are derived, ) are inserted. In order to commence the laws of the revolution with a volume, it has been found necessary to extend this to upwards of TOO rages; more than one hundred beyond the editor's prospectus. This will be a loss to the editor, but will be attended with no additional cost to his subscribers. WILLIAM WALLER HENING. j (a) See pa. 240, 277. (A) See pa. 241. (c) Sec pa. 288, 563.
