It will be observed, that this work is alphabetically arranged. At
first the author did not intend to refer to the authorities of the
Maxims and Rules, and it was not till after the printing was far
advanced, that he formed that resolution: but this obliged him, with
great labour, to make out the extensive appendix of reference in the
end of the work, consisting of ten close pages, and embracing, as will
be seen, from 40 to 50 most eminent and distinguished authorities; and
that they may be easily found, the appendix refers to the pages of
the book, in their order, and the numbers of each page, from the top
downwards.
