Excerpt from Pope's Digest, 1815, Vol. 2 This is the second and concluding volume of Pope's Digest, the first volume of which was published in 1938 as volume 28 of the Illinois Historical Collections. In the preface to the first volume of Pope's Digest I acknowledged my great indebtedness to Professor Theodore C. Pease and the members of his stafi. In the preparation of this volume I have received the same generous and efficient assistance that I enjoyed While at work on its predecessor, and it is a pleasure to repeat here, with emphasis, my earlier expression of thanks. Incidentally to the preparation of these volumes of Pope's Digest, and the volume on the Statutes of Illinois Territory (1809-1818) which will follow them, the editor has examined almost all of the extant court records, down to 1830, in thirteen counties of the State Bond, Crawford, Edwards, Gallatin, Johnson, Madison, Monroe, Pope, Randolph, St. Clair, Union, Washington, and White. The footnotes to the Introduction in volume I of this work reveal my indebtedness to the records of all these counties. Particular acknowledgments for kindnesses exceeding official courtesies were made in the preface to volume 21 of these Collections to the clerks of Randolph and St. Clair, to which counties long and repeated visits were made. In other counties the records were relatively scanty and my visits short. Special acknowledgments may perhaps properly be made to Mr. James S. Gregg, Clerk of the Circuit Court, and Mr. Victor Pearce, County Clerk, of Gallatin County; and to the son of the former, Mr. Harry Gregg. For the courtesies shown me by the custodians of the records in all other counties, however, I wish to offer my cordial and appreciative thanks. It is an interesting fact that the sole docket of a justice of the peace anywhere discovered by me (that of John Marshall, for 1818) was found in Shawneetown in private ownership. The late F. E. Robinson, who then owned the docket, was kind enough to give me permission to examine it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
