PROPOSALS,
or publishing by subscription a compendium of
the Laws rj the State of Georgia, by Arthur
roster 9
< fmboning all 'he statutes, and the substance
ot all the resolutions of a general and pubbe na
ture, and now of force, which have been passed
in said State from the year IBVO, to the year 1829
both inclusive, with occasional explanatory notes
and references, and a list of the statutes repealed
or obsolete To which is added an appendix,
containing the constitution of the state of Geor
gia. as amended; also references to such local
acts as relate to towns, counties, internal naviga-
tion, county academies, Ac and a collection of
the most approved forms used in carrying the
above laws into effect; with a copious index to
the whole It will be something.like a continua
tion of Prince’s Digest, noting the laws in said
Digest, repealed or altered ft may be obse ved,
that the legislature of Georgia are in the constant
practice of repealing, alteiing, or amending laws
passed at their previous sessions, so that without
such a digest, or compilation of them, as is now
respectfully offered to the public, it actually re-!
qnires a lawyer, or a person who has devoted
much time to the examination and comparison of
the diff rent enactments of each succeeding ses
ston of the legislature, to be acquainted with all
the laws which arc offeree. And having witnes
sed with much pleasure the immense public utili
ty and popularity of the digest compiled by Oli
yer II Prince and also having ho dou' t but a
similar compendium of the laws from the time of
that publication down to the present with the ad
dition of the precedents, on forms, which will he
placed in the appendix and which will add great
ly to the public utility of the work, and to the fur
therance of justice would he very acceptable to
the public, the compiler has ventnred upon the
srduous and important undertaking. However,
not reiving altogether on his own experience of
having been a member of the legislature during
the passage of'he mostofthe Laws now proposed
to be published, and at the administration of
them for eight y ars, as justice ot the inferior
court, in a county where much business of an in
tricate nature is transacted in that court and the
court of ordinary; after collating the manurcript 1
it has been placed in the hands ofgentlemen em- |
inent in the law, who after a strict and careful 1
examination have politely tendered to him the
subjoined certificates.
I have examined a digest of the Laws of Geor
gia from I*2o to 1*29 inclusive, by A. Foster,
esq. and think the work executed with great judg
ment and accuracy. The work is intended as a
continuation of Prince's Digest, and is. in my opin
ion, well calculated to answer that valuable pur
pose Although the author is not professionally
a Lawyer, he seems, in ascertaining tne statutes’
now ot force, to h- vo added much care examina
tion and'studv, to his advantages as a practical le
gislate, during most of the period embraced in his
work

I have attentively examined a Digest of the
Laws of Georgia, from 1820. t 2 1829 inclusive,
and find the work is executed with much judg
ment and accuracy, bv A Foster, esq. of i oluin
bia county,. I have no doubt the work will
prove valuable to every citizen who feels desir
ous to become informed of the statutes now of
force in the state, and would recommend ail jus
tices of the inforior court, justices of the peace,
cleiks, sheriffs, 4c. to possess themselves of the
work as soon as published.

Wrightsborough, sth June. 1830.
Sir—As far as I have yet had an opportunity
of examining the manuscript copy of your digest,
of the laws of the state of Georgia, 1 highly ap
prove both of its plan and execution. The vol
ume canuot fail to answer well the purpose for
which it was intended In the appendix there
are a number of precedents or forma, which ap
pear tc have been modeled with accuracy, and in
strict conformity to the digested statues from
which they were drawn; and without doubt will
add much to the value and usefulness of the
work, as a mean (in the hands of the justices o
the peace, justices of the inferior courts, clerks,
sheriffs, young practitioners of the law, and oth
ers) in errying the above named laws into effect
with greater facility
lain sir your obedient servant,
PIERBDN PETIT.
Arthur Foster esq.
The work is now in the hands of Judge Schley,
who has kindly promised as early as other en
gagements will permit to take it through a care
ful and minute investigation, and correction, if
correction shall he found to be necessary and
proper.
The great public ntility of such a worn must
be obvious to all; aud the compiler, who has de
voted to it much time and Irborious study, flatters
himself that the testimonials presented above,
will fully satisfy the public, that that utility has
not been lessened in the slightest degree, by any
defect on his part, in its general design or the ac
curacy of its execution
O’At the suggestion of the professional gen- I
tlemen whose names are affixed to the above cer
tificates, and others who have generously taken
an interest in the work, and with an aaxiousde
sire to make the work as extensively useful as
possible to the public, the compiler will introduce
into itseveial highly important laws of tho Uni
ted States, in common use among the people,
and which itre often difficult to be tound; among
which a~e those i relation to the naturalization
of alions tho remaval of cases from the state to
the United State courts, the mode of voti g for
president and vice president, by electors, a..1 of
making the returns, and the time of holding such
elections, \c.
TERMS

SEN I’iMENTAL.
An English ii iVetfei, one who hasf never
j been out ol sight of cue B nv-bells, until he
took it into his head to cross the 4 *H ttlau
ttc o take notes.” passed through one of
the southern stales, that he might have
pi 00l positive tha ! the horrible practice of
gouging was iu vogue among the people
who call themselves Christians. II • arriv
ed at a small village on the banks of the
Savannah, bearing a political name, and
also the reputation of being the most rip
rotious place in all the state. Entering the
bar-room of the hotel, which was a spa
cious log edifice, ne asked the landlord, who
appeared to be a peart little Y iukee full of
business and bustle, if he could “ave his
orse hattended to ?’
“i reckon so, answerd mine host, “here,
Isam, you black rascal give the gentlemau’s
ere ur, some truck." '
Our cockney friend scratched his head,
and endeavored to muster brains enough
to fall upon the meaning oi the word * ruck,*
and lie came to the natural conclusion that
it meant hay, fodder, or some other pto
vender. The evening being chill and damp
the landlord invited his guest to take a seat
at the fire plact, which was nearly hidden
from view by a of six-looters and
river alligators. He succeeded, after some
trouble, in obtaining a seat at the peril of
having Ins garments bespattered with lobat
c<>-juice, when to his utter astonishment,
mine host called aloud to Isam to put au
armful of truck upon the site. The cutt
osity- of our traveller was not to be satisfie ;
Isam entered with an armful of pine knots
aud threw them on the fire ! ‘Sueath,
mister,” exclaimed the aslouished guest
“do you call that truck.’
“Ii > wood truck,” replied the landlord.
“ Then, sir, l’u ave you to know I’m a
ll'iiglishtiiaii, baud it is lit common fu> Hm
glishtnen to ave their uses fed with ptue
kuots. Give my orse some ay, boats, oi
sit'll is.”
“1 guess you re a stranger in these parts
mister, ’ returned tiie 1 audlord, giving the
double jointer a knowing wink,“or else you
muughi have kuowu that ituck means any
thing. *
The cockney only hall muttered to him
self, ‘ well I do think they murder the Kings
iiinglisn most hiMumaiiiy Inn Hatuei tea.”
The compuov now began to increase, &
several men with their rill sand powder
horns came in ; they were soon followed by
a possee of wagoners, boatmen, Ac. until
the room was so completely crowded, that
one could uot put the little eud ol joining
sharpened, between them Some*tugged
at the bottle, and some smoked loug un.es,
and some played seven-up betweeu tne
liter’s legs—untill uui traveller found that
his situ itioti began to be rather uncomfort
able, aud requested the host to have him
shown to bis chamher. He had scarcely
and if and his outward sell, and thrown himself
netweeu two cotlou sheets which utignt
have sold well to a tallow chandler, when
the hum aud buzz below gradually swollen
into a contused bellowing aud howling;
the foundation of the house trembled to
the st imping atm sin filing of feet; A his ear
was assailed wiiu sucti sound as tuese ; * 1
can chase a streak ol lightuing round a
bUck jack ” “Kip, roau—the bridle’s
broke ; here’s a corn stealer that can drive
a wedge spontaneously tnrough the Table
Rock.' May Ibe tetotaliy twisted if 1
Cant ram-squ iddle two like you, you jim*
ber-jawed rascal.” 4 Gouge him—-chew
him up ! * Hare the noise increased to such
a pitch, trial the Englishman thought all
the imps of the lower regious were let loose
upon him. Tremblingly he arose from his
bed & shrieked tleud for the waiter, isam
came rubbing his eyes, as if he had just
been aroused from a sweet stuiuber, asked
biui if he wanted whiskey today !
“Whiskey toddy, you black tascai !” ex
claimed the lodger, “what’s hall that ellish
noise habout f
“Oh, luaasa,” replied cuffoe, grinning,
“nothing at all, boatmen and wagoners only
quarrel a little hit. Wt hab same like dis
obery night. *
The Englishman only groaned and bid
the uegro begone. His eats in a short time
became familiar to such sounds, and be fell
asleep.
In tho morning when he awoke, all was
quiet,and putting on his clothes, ho deceiv
ed to the bai«roora to order his horse.—
There were but two persons in tho room :
Isam, who was sweeping the floor with a
birch broom, and a stranger who sat in the
chimnt-y corner—lsam was gathering up
some strange looking things of a globular
form, and throwing them intc a bushel bas
ket, which was near'y full.
“What are you got here, boyt ’ inquired
the cockney, rolling one of them over with
his foot and examining it; “1 did’ut know
grapes grew to such a size hin this country.’’
“Golly ! massa— dat no grape; I am going
to trow away dese eyse dat were gouge out
last night.’* The Englishman started back
with horror, his hair biistled aud he scarcely
knew which way to turn to shun the dread
ful scene. Summoning fortitude, he went
op to theairariger who sat by the fire lean
ing his head on his hand, and groauiug
loudly. “What’s |he matter roy honest
friend !" asked he in a tone of commisera
tion. “Oh ! nothing, sir, ’ was the cool re
ply, “ I only lost my right eye last night *’
“Eavens ! bonly lost an hye !—don’t you
feel a good deal hos pain I”
“No not much. But, d—n lit a Scrimp
