PREFACE

TO THE

SECOND EDITION.

THIS Book has been long out of print, and Supplements were at two several times published, with the view of saving expense to the purchasers of the original Work.

For this edition-the Text has been carefully examined, and the Notes enlarged,-the cases lately decided have been collected and analysed, the new Acts of Parliament set forth and explained, and the Index much extended.

The improvements effected in the Law, by which Patents for Inventions are better secured to scientific men, call for thanks from all men to LORD BROUGHAM for the Acts of Parliament which he introduced, and to the LEARNED JUDGES for the wise decisions favourable to Inventors to which they have arrived.
