The

The selections from early letters are such as would best give a general outline of the business of J. & R. Codman, and of the agency of Richard Codman in Europe for that house. The great quantity of documentary evidence has made it necessary to print extracts only, from letters not closely connected with the main question. The parts omitted contain details of business wholly unimportant to the controversy; and the entire letters were exhibited to the committee of 1835. Paris correspondence, and all the important letters, are printed entire. The heading will show in each case whether the whole letter, or an extract only, is printed; also whether it is taken from a letter book, a separate copy, or the original document. Some of the original accounts produced before the committee are necessarily omitted, from their great length, especially those which are useful merely as vouchers for other accounts which we print. To print every thing connected, however remotely, with Wm. Vans' claim, is impossible. We therefore select what is most material, and trust it is sufficient to give a clear understanding of the case.
