1842 Communication from Lucian Minor to the House of Delegates regarding the purchase of the copyright of the late Professor Davis' work for the use of justices of the peace.

Letter of transmittal from Lucian Minor, is to the Speaker of the House of Delegates and is dated December 20, 1842. The communication also is signed by Lucian Minor.
"The necessity of some book to guide the magistrates of Virginia in their official duties, is palpable and imperious. ... Sitting as judges in a court of the most extensive jurisdiction known to this commonwealth, they require some standard authority by which to test the doctrines pressed upon them from the bar: some elementary expositor, by studying which they may be enabled at least to comprehend the arguments addressed to them. ... It is believed, that for these ends, no existing work is equal, in all the points of merit, to a Treatise on Criminal Law, and Guide for Justices of the Peace, prepared and published by the lamented professor Davis, late of the University of Virginia."--Page 1.
