Reports of Cases Argued and Determined in the Supreme Court of Tennessee, 1878, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint) - Livres de poche

Excerpt from Reports of Cases Argued and Determined in the Supreme Court of Tennessee, 1878, Vol. 2

I would not deem it necessary to prepare a preface to this volume were it not encumbent upon me by this means to answer many questions which the unexpected publication of the Reports by myself has occasioned. It has been feared by some that subsequent Reports would be issued, republishing the same matter which I have reported. In answer, I have simply to say that this will not be the case, and should, at any time, a book appear entitled 10th Heiskell, it will contain other and different decisions entirely form those I have reported. In order, therefore, to preserve the chronology of the Reports, regardless of the editor's name upon the respective publications, I have placed upon each Volume a number, which corresponds with Judge Cooper's edition of the Tennessee Reports, the first which I have issued being 57, and the proper order of subsequent Reports can, therefore, be easily determined by the adoption of this style.

It should have been noted in the first Volume of my Reports that when the lamented Chief Justice Nicholson was disabled in 1873, by a fall, his Excellency, John C. Brown, commissioned John W. Burton, Esq., of Murfreesboro, to fill his place.
