the United States:'-for though in country practice, questions under the constitution and laws of the general government, certainly do not as frequently arise as in the maritime cities, he will bear in mind how often in our country, the profession of a practising lawyer is united with that of legislator and statesman, and how essential in such case, is a thorough knowledge of the entire system of United States jurisprudence. We therefore recommend, to all students and lawyers who have not absolutely abjured the connection, to study under this head, at least to the extent we have designated, it being no more than is essential to every well read lawyer. And finally, all of the remaining Titles and Divisions remain for this student unaltered, being the same as in the other mentioned courses.] AUTHOR'S FAREWELL TO THE STUDENT. We cannot better take leave of our student than in the language of the kind exhortation of Justinian."Summâ itaque ope, et alacri studio, has leges nostras accipite: et vosmetipsos sic eruditos ostendite, ut spes vos pulcherrima foveat, toto legitimo opere perfecto, posse etiam nostram rempublicam in partibus ejus vobis credendis, gubernari.* And finally, in the quaint, but expressive and paternal words of Lord Coke,— 'FAREWELL. WE WISH UNTO THEE THE GLADSOME LIGHT OF JURISPRUDENCE, THE LOVELINESS OF TEMPERANCE, THE STABILITY OF FORTITUDE, AND THE SOLIDITY OF JUSTICE.'t Justinian's Proem to the Institutes, sec. vii. † Coke's Commentary upon Littleton, p. 395.
