Excerpt from Remarks on the Hon. Edward Livingston's Introductory Report to His System of Penal Law, Prepared for the State of Louisiana Dear sir _i wished very much to have some conversation with you previous to my departure from new-dr leans, but was prevented by the business preparatory to my departure. Your address to the legislatureil containing strictures on my code, was sent to me by a friend very soon after its publication. I thought, on perusing it, that I had some reason to complain of the manner in which the author, as well as the work itself was treated, and my first impression was.

Excerpt from Introductory Report to the Code of Prison Discipline, 1827: Explanatory of the Principles on Which the Code Is Founded, Being Part of the System of Penal Law, Prepared for the State of Louisiana The following pages form the introduction to the Code of Prison Discipline, being the concluding part of a system of penal law, prepared by Mr. Livingston, for the State of Louisiana, in pursuance of a law of that state; under which he was appointed to the novel and highly honourable task which he has just concluded for the second time; after having, about two years ago, lost by an accidental fire, his first manuscript and all his notes. The whole system, (consisting of a Code of crimes and punishments, a Code of procedure, a book of Definitions, and a Code of Prison Discipline,) has been presented for the consideration of the Legislature, and copies have been distributed by the author, with the laudable view of obtaining suggestions for the improvement of his plan. But this circulation being necessarily very limited; the Editors have been induced, without any view to profit, to offer this edition to the public, from a persuasion, that the views developed in the introduction, contained matter that deserved the serious attention of their fellow citizens, more particularly as the review of the Penal Code of this State, will occupy the attention of the Legislature at the next session. Should this introduction receive the public patronage, they will publish the Code of Prison Discipline, as the part that involves the deepest interest, and on the Efficacy of which the whole system seems to rest. The introductory report to the whole system, and the other codes of which it is composed, have excited some attention in different parts of Europe; where several Editions in different languages have been published; but as the work is of considerable magnitude, the Editors cannot yet pledge, themselves to offer an Edition of it to the public.
