Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Revised Statutes of the State of Illinois: Adopted by the General Assembly of Said State, at Its Regular Session, Held in the Years A. D., 1844-5; Together With an Appendix, Containing Acts Passed at the Same and Previous Sessions, Not Incorporated in the Revised Statutes
Many of those laws, enacted under circumstances so disadvantageous, during the early history of our legislation, particularly those concerning rights to real estate: and the administration of the penal code, stand almost untouched by the hand of innovation, as monuments of the sagacity, legal ability, and just views of those who framed them. Amidst the vicious superabundance of legislation in more re cent times, some respect has been paid to the stern wisdom of the past; and it may be said, Without offence, that greater progress has been made in manufacturing than in perfecting, laws for the government of the State.
