Preface To The Second Edition

A LITTLE more than four years has elapsed since the first publication of this work, and a Second Edition is now called for. The English and American decisions, made since the publication of the First Edition, have been incorporated with the notes; and such alterations and additions have been made in the text, as were necessary to adapt it to the advanced state of the Patent Law. I have republished, in the Appendix to this Volume, Mr. Thomas Webster's very able tract on the Subject-Matter of Patents.

I avail myself of this opportunity to express my grateful acknowledgments both to the Bench and the Bar, for the manner in which this work has been received, and for the place that has been assigned to it, among the Treatises on this important branch of jurisprudence.
