Mon Cher Monsieur,

J'ai lu avec beaucoup de satisfaction votre Essai sur les Lettres de Change et les Billets Promissoires,

Je suis heureux d'observer que vous avez su co-ordonner avec beaucoup de succès la doctrine des auteurs avec la jurisprudence qui s'est formée progressivement depuis plusieurs années en Bas- Canada.

Vous avez fait ressortir avec beaucoup d'avantage pour le public les traits les plus saillants de notre législation actuelle sur cette partie importante du droit commercial.

La partie historique est traitée de la manière la plus lucide et indique, de votre part, une connaissance approfondie de l'histoire du droit et de la jurisprudence.

J'ai l'honneur d'être, Monsieur,

Votre obéissant serviteur,

P. R. LAFRENAYE, B, C, L.

Dear Sir,

I hâve read the manuscript of your Essay on Notes and Bills and hâve much pleasure in expressing the high opinion I hâve fonned of its merits. The want of a work of the kind, exhibiting in an orderly and comprehensive form, the présent state of our law on this suhject, has long been felt : and your little treatise, supplying this want, forms a valuable manual, which shonld be in the hands of every student and man of business, I am,

Dear Sir,

Yours very truly,

J. J. C. ABBOTT, B. a L.

Dear Sir,

I iiave periised with mucli satisfaction your Treatise on Bills of Excliaage and Promissory Notes. I regard it as a work deserving tlie attention of those engaged in the study and practice of the law, but more particularly of such who from the nature of their commercial pursuits, are more immediately interested in its publication. The collection of numerous cases decided by our Courts, many of which are not reported, bearing upon important questions of commercial law, gives to the work a value which commercial men wiU not fail to acknowledge. The review you hâve made of the law of France, England, the United States and our Statute law, coupled with the décisions you hâve collected together of the Courts of Upper and Lower Canada, is évidence of the labor and researeh you hâve bestowed in the compilation of the work, and affords a bright promise for your future career in the profession of the Law.

I remain,

Dear Sir,

Your very obedient servant,
