PREFACE.

THE object of this abridgment is to put into one volume those parts of the Eighth Edition of the Revised Statutes of New York that are likely to be referred to by students. The original paging is preserved, and the Analysis and Index are the same as in the full four volume edition. This will enable the student to find out about matter not embraced in the abridgment and will show him in what part of the full edition it can be found.
