Excerpt from Reports of Cases Argued and Determined in the High Court of Admiralty: Commencing With the Judgement; Right Hon. Sir William Scott, Easter Term, 1808The present editor takes this opportunity of professing his design to continue the Admiralty Reports on the same plan which was adopted by his predecessor; in succeeding to Whose labors he has the advantage of a model which it Will be his ambition to follow as closely as may be accomplished by care and industry.
