Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reports of Decisions in the Supreme Court of the United States, Vol. 1: With Notes, and a Digest This work contains the decisions Of the Supreme Court of the United States. The opinions Of the court are in all cases given, as they have been printed by the authorized Reporters, after correcting such errors Of the press, or Of citation, as a careful examination Of the text has disclosed. I have endeavored to give in the head notes, the substance of each decision. They are designed to show the points decided by the court, not the dicta or reasoning Of the judges. The statements of the cases have been made as brief as pos sible. For many years, it has been the habit Of all the judges of this court, to set forth in their opinions, the facts Of the cases, as the court viewed them, in making their decision. Such a statement, when complete, renders any other super uous. When not found complete, I have not attempted to restate the whole case, but have supplied, in the report, such facts, or documents, as seemed to me to be wanting. In some cases, turning upon questions, or complicated states of fact, and not involving any matter of law, I have not thought it necessary to encumber the work with detailed statements Of evidence, which no one would find it useful to recur to. These instances, however, are few. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
