Author Description

Excerpt from The Most Important Parts of Kent's Commentaries, Reduced to Questions and Answers The few remarks which follow, are given more out of a compliance to custom, than as an apology for the work itself. A writer in the British Register very judiciously observes, that Of the subjects of human knowledge, law is far from being the least impor tant; within the last fifty years, not only general law, but the law of the country in which we live, has been considered as an object of liberal in quiry, and well deserving the attention of the general scholar. The labours of the venerable chancellor Kent, have contributed in no small degree to disseminate this branch of useful knowledge through his unwearying exertions and untiring zeal, this beautiful, but abstruse and difficult study has been rendered at once pleasing and instructive.
