Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reports of Decisions of the Supreme Court of the State of Illinois, Vol. 1: From the December Term, 1819, to the February Term, 1841, Inclusive, Which Were Embraced in Breese, and Volumes One and Two Scammon's Reports; With Notes, Referring to Prior and Subsequent Decisions Illustrating the Doctrine of the d104; Containing a Tabl The decisions of the Supreme Court of Illinois, from the organization of the Court in 1818, until the present time, are embraced in twenty-six volumes - one by Breese, four by Scammon, five by Gilman, and sixteen by Peck. The original price of these Reports was $130.00. None of them have been stereotyped, and only small editions were printed, consequently the first eighteen volumes are already out of print and difficult to obtain. It was supposed by the publisher, that a condensed edition, at less than one-third of the price of the old series, would be acceptable to the profession. Accordingly the first volume of the new series is now presented to the bench and bar. The second volume, embracing 3 and 4 Scammon, 1, 2 and 3 Gilman, is ready for the press and will follow speedily. The object of the Editor of this edition of the Illinois Reports, is to give a complete history of our jurisprudence, not only of the Statute upon which a decision was founded, but all prior and subsequent decisions of our Supreme Court, which tended to illustrate the doctrine of the text. In order not to defeat the object of a judicial report, lie has followed this plan. First. - To insert the opinion, in full, of our Supreme Court, in all cases which involved questions of right. Second. - Where the questions decided related to remedies and practice, pleadings or evidence, he has omitted the reasoning of the judges.
