To the Purchasers of the Sessions Paper.

Mr. Hodgson respectfully embraces this opportunity of making his most unfeigned acknowledgments to the public in general, and the gentlemen of the law in particular, for that estimation in which the Sessions Paper continues to be held for its accuracy; and assures them, that his most unremitting attention shall be exerted to retain and increase such estimation.
