“More than half of this volume is occupied by a list of the bonds filed under the letters of marque, in which are indicated all who are concerned in the vessels, as master, bonder, owner, or witness. This is a valuable contribution to history, as the bonds also give the nature of the ship, and the size of crew and armament, as well as the state to which she belonged. It will now be possible for investigators to identify the ship, and from local records trace her performances.”—Nation.

“Expressions of his own opinion on questions of law and conduct are rare and usually sound. There are few accessible authorities which have not been examined and digested. The absence of cross-references to earlier and later pages imposes much needless labor. Except in the ease of law reports and session laws, there are hardly any citations of the original authorities, not even of the pages of the convention reports, from which quotations are made. The book is indispensable to all constitutional lawyers, legislators, and statesmen in New York. It will be the standard authority upon the subject for at least a generation.” Roger Foster.
