Excerpt from The Authentication, Acknowledgement and Proof of Written Instruments: Under the Various Laws Which Have Been in Force in Texas From Her Earliest History to the Present Time While so many books are being forced upon the profession, an apology may be due it for offering another. The excuse is that we believed such a work would save much labor, and no such had been published. As the validity of authentication, under the Mexican laws and acknowledgments, etc., under Texas laws is tested by the laws in force at the time they are made, and as they have been constantly changed, it has been a difficult task for attorneys to determine what laws were in force, what officers were authorized, what certificates were required, at a given time, and what defects have been validated, etc. For instance, there are in this state about ninety different laws affecting the authority of officers to take acknowledgments, etc., about sixty different laws affecting the manner of taking and certifying to acknowledgments and proof, about thirty-two validating statutes, etc., few of same being incorporated in the Revised Statutes, and the others scattered through the session laws of the different legislatures, without any general index, during which time many different constitutions have been in force and many changes of government have taken place. The intention has been to afford a ready reference to the laws in force at any desired time, on any of the subjects treated, with the decisions affecting same, pointing out what laws were in force at any desired time, when they were repealed, if ever, and what laws are now in force. We would not ask more of the bar (ban that it show the same magnanimity in regard to the errors and defects in this work that it has so often shown toward our judges when they have erred.
