    TO HON. THOMAS EWING. My Dear Sir: I have begged permission to inscribe this work to you, because your eminence as a forensic expert is not that of a mere lawyer. You have acted on the faith of that saying of Blackstone, which I have selected as the motto of this volume. Whether at the Bar or in the Senate, in high office or in private life, you have preferred the comprehensive to the narrow. By your own example you have proven that philosophy and jurisprudence, great success in practice and great liberality in studies and pursuits, may quite harmoniously form the character. I thank you equally for that example and for the permission to inscribe my work to you. The former has encour- aged me to offer my production to the public; the latter has enabled me to connect with that production such a name as may secure for it just estimation and fair criticism. More than this no writer has a right to ask. Your much obliged, R. B. WARDEN.
