PREFACE

TO

THE FOURTH EDITION.

THIS edition contains the cases since the last, and a new chapter upon the Forgery of Bills and Notes.

The profession has sustained a great loss in Mr. Barnes. He was a man of great promise, and most respected where best known : had he been living, this edition would have come from him; but his death, and other circumstances, have induced the original author to prepare and superintend this edition.

BEDFORD-SQUARE, 1822.
