Excerpt from The Laws, Customs, and Privileges, and Their Administration in the Island of Jersey: With Notices of Guernsey, Also a Commentary on Certain Abuses, and a Petition to Parliament for a Reform of the SameJ oumale. The articles having excited great interest, and it being known that it was my intention to leave the Island, many of my friends in Jersey and Guernsey, and also in England, who were aware that I had published only a part of my collection, were desirous of seeing the whole they therefore solicited me to publish them in a popular form, so that the public might not loose the benefit of my labours. Hence then a great part of the present volume is taken from my Note Book, which will account for some of the arti cles being already familiar to the Jersey reader, but which will not be the less interesting to the British public, for whose especial use the work is published. Some of the facts set forth, will no doubt be startling, but they are never theless true, and I have endeavoured to avoid giving them any colouring, but have rather left them to speak for themselves, knowing that they cannot be called in question or denied.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
