Excerpt from The Works of the Honourable James Wilson, L. L. D., Late One of the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, and Professor of Law in the College of Philadelphia, Vol. 1 The law professorship, in the college of Philadelphia, was established in the year 1790; and the Author was appointed the first professor. The extent of his plan of lectures rendered it impossible for him to go through his whole subject in one season: three courses were neces sary for the purpose. The first course, which was deli vered in the winter of 1790-91, consisted of those lectures contained in what the Editor has entitled the first part. The second course, which was, in a great 'measure, deli vered in the following winter, would have consisted of the remaining two parts now published. In April, 1792.
