NOTICE.

As it is an age when our institutions are likely to be misrepresented, the Editor thinks it proper to call the attention of the reader to the fact that all the laws on the subject of slaves, from the year 1690 to 1751, included between the pages 343 and 426, of this volume, expired before the revolution. If the false philanthropist of the day chooses to quarrel with any enactments during that period, let him recollect that they were British, not American Laws; and that the free people of South Carolina have no cause to blush at any enactment of theirs.
