FOREWORD TH HIS volume is an exact photo-reproduction of an original copy of Bradford's Iowa Supreme Court Reports, covering the years 1839, 1840 and 1841, in the Library of the Iowa State Library in Des Moines, Iowa. Special acknowledgement is made to the Iowa State Library and to Mr. Paul B. DeWitt, Librarian, for the kind permission to use the original volume. As a copy of the original is practically unobtainable, the volume is offered to enable law libraries to round out their Iowa collection, as this volume is an integral part of the Iowa Supreme Court Reports. The edition is a very limited printing, each copy being numbered, with the name of the purchaser and the corresponding number being kept on file in the office of the publisher. The reproduction follows the original in every detail and no attempt was made to correct errors or defects in typography. NEW YORK BAKER, VOORHIS & CO.
