Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Statutes at Large of South Carolina, Vol. 1 To His Excellency George M'Duffie, Governor of South-Carolina: Sir - Herewith I transmit the collection of materials meant to form the first volume of the Statutes at Large of South-Carolina. They can easily be arranged for the Printer under my own superintendence and inspection, when the plan of the volume is finally settled by a Committee of the Legislature, and when it is finally decided whether any and what parts of the proposed materials shall be excluded from the volume. They consist of First, The acts, documents and proceedings of a constitutional character, all of which the Editor considers as expedient to be adopted. The reasons of his opinion are contained in the preface to the work herewith transmitted. Secondly, The legislative acts of Assembly, as adopted and arranged by Judge Grimke, in his 4th edition of the public Laws, from the year 1694 to 1740. From the condition of the very early acts of Assembly in MS. and the want of present interest in the subjects of them, the Editor has not thought fit to commence earlier. All the English Statutes declared of force by act of Assembly, or any other reason, or under any other authority, are inserted with the specific reasons for their insertion. Thirdly, The sections and clauses of acts which. Judge Grimke has rejected as obsolete or repealed: these have been copied from the original acts, because it appeared to the Editor desirable that the laws should be presented unmutilated by any private authority; and for the reasons also assigned in his preface. Whatever order shall be finally taken on this part of the collection, the Editor will comply with, and if this supplement to the hitherto mutilated acts as published shall be adopted, the Editor will take care of their due and orderly insertion. Fourthly, The notes and references of the Editor to such acts as seemed to require illustration and comment. He has inserted to each act, where they were called for, a reference to every other act subsequently passed, relating in whole or in part to the same subject matter: a reference also to every decision thereon, throughout the twenty two volumes of South-Carolina Reports. The plan of this work cannot be finally and satisfactorily adjusted, till it has been submitted to the inspection of His Excellency the Governor, and through him to the Legislature. When the plan is settled, the Editor will proceed therein with as much despatch as is consistent with accuracy. I have the honor to be, respectfully, sir, Your obedient servant, Thomas Cooper.
