[Extracts from Letters to the Author.'] 



Sir — 1 have examined your MS. on the Law of Pat- 

 ents with as much care as my engagements would per- 

 nut. and 1 have no hesitation in expressing m\ opinion, 

 that the work wiil be highly ii.=efiil to all persons who 

 are engaged in obtaining patents, or in vindicating Ibein 

 iu Courts of justice. 'I he manuscript conlauis a collec- 

 tion of all the cases, on the suhjett of Patents, within 

 my knowledge ; and the principles contained in them 

 are detailed with accuracy and fullness in the Summa- 

 ry, at the conclusion. I kuow of no work so compre- 

 hensive as yours on this sul ject ; and it may be relied 

 on as a sate guide. I hope you wilt receive encourage- 

 ment sufficient to justify the publication, v^liich I 

 should think would be profitable as well as extensively 

 useful. .IO:F.l'H fclORY.

Sir — We have locked over the manuscript of the 2d 

 edition of your publicatiou on the Law of Patents. — 

 This edition is a great improvement on the first, and wc 

 think it will be a valuable and useful book to the pro- 

 fession, a- it contains the statutes, and states we believe 

 accurately all, or nearly all, the decisi.ins which have 

 been made on a branch of the law, daily growing more 

 inlcrestiuj; and important. W.M. PKESCOPT.

Sir — The new edition of your Essay on Patent-Law, 

 which I l.ave taken some time to exa;nine, is a Viry 

 improved work. More ample niatf rials, furiiijhtd to 

 your hands, by decisions, subsequent to your fornii-r 

 edition, have enabled you to present to the puMic and 

 the bar a more minute analysis, as well as a more com- 

 prehensive view of this branch of law than has yet ap- 

 peared ia England or in this country. Your method of 

 I arraUjjlng all the decisions, in the order of an analyt- 

 ical dig. si, of the several requirements and provisions 

 of our statutes for granting jaUnts, puts the lawyer at 

 1 once in possession of the judicial construction of the 

 1 statutes ; while your syutheiic sumuiaiy, far Diore ex- 

 I tended and comprehtnsive than in the former edition, 

 : placrs within reach of the mechanic a sure Dicans of 

 judging whether his invention is a fit sutiject for a I^a-
