The treatise which is now offered to the world, is interesting but not new. I have undertaken the task of republication, as it is now become extremely fierce, well convinced that its subject and, the instruction it contains, have a claim upon the attention of every man, who, from his rank and situation in life, may be called upon, to serve his country, in the honorable, and, important office, of a grand juror. An office, essential to the administration of substantial justice! by which, the grand juror, who faithfully discharges his duty, becomes, the guardian of innocence, the avenger of guilt, the unbiased organ of truth; the preserve of the public, and, private rights of the people, whensoever they are menaced by power, or, endangered by popular violence."
