Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Revised Statutes of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Passed November 4, 1835: To Which Are Subjoined, an Act in Amendment Thereof, and an Act Expressly to Repeal the Acts Which Are Consolidated Therein, Both Passed in February, 1836 This volume has been prepared in pursuance of that commission. In discharging the duties assigned them, the commissioners foresaw, that by bestowing their own labor upon certain subjects connected with the work, an equal amount of labor might be saved to thous ands of individuals, who will hereafter have occasion to consult it. In order, therefore, to facilitate a reference to the statutes which are herein revised, they have caused the chapter of the principal act or acts revised, together with the political year in which the same were passed, to be denoted in the margin. And, generally, whenever the Revised Statutes have adopted, modified, or controlled the adjudi cations of the supreme judicial court of this Commonwealth, and also where they have established a rule in cases in which the decis ions of the courts of other states might have been cited as an au thority, the commissioners have placed a reference to those cases, under the marginal notes. They have selected, however, only lead ing and prominent cases. To have collected all the decisions, hav ing any relation to the enactment, would have encumbered the page; and would, perhaps, more frequently have diverted attention to decisions foreign to the inquiry, than have elucidated the sub ject of research. No person could expect the margin of a statute book to be a substitute for a digest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
