of Calhoun v. The Insurance Company of Pennsylvania, 1 Binney, 293, advocated, with much force of reasoning, the doctrine of the non-conclusiveness of such sentence. In his Miscellanies 525, note, speaking of judge Cooper's opinion, he says, 'I claim only to be the precursor of judge Cooper on the same side of the question; and this I have a right to claim. But I would recommend every American student to read this opinion of judge Cooper's, not so much for the reasoning and ideas, as for the analysis, and systematic comprehension of the subject. It is a model that deserves to be admired.' It was published by A. J. Dallas in 1810, in a small octavo volume of eighty pages, accompanied by an Introduction of twelve pages, highly worthy perusal.

[Note 14.—In addition to the works enumerated in the Syllabus of this Ninth Title, which form the student's regular Course, we present him in the following list, a more ample view of the Sources of maritime and admiralty law, so as to enable him occasionally to refer to them, and to judge in some degree of the nature and extent of the bibliography of this subject. The enumeration, as we hope, will also aid the researches of scholars in the law. It is proper to apprize the student that the subjects of some of these works are not peculiar to the present title, but run into the cognate topics of the lex mercatoria, of international law, &c. Vide ante Advertisement, p. xvii. xviii. also p. 58, 342, and Note 1, on Title viii. for our further views on this subject.]
