BE IT REMEMBERED, That on the seventh day of June, in the fortyeighth year of the independence of the United States of America, A. D. 1824, Peter Stephen Du Ponceau, of the said District, hath deposited in this office the Title of a book, the right whereof he claims as Author, in the words following, to wit:

"A Dissertation on the nature and extent of the Jurisdiction of the Courts of the United States, being a Valedictory Address delivered to the students of the Law Academy of Philadelphia, at the close of the academical year, on the 22d April, 1824, by Peter S. Du Ponceau, LL.D. Provost of the Academy. To which are added, A brief sketch of the National Judiciary Powers exercised in the United States prior to the adoption of the present Federal Constitution, by Thomas Sergeant, Esq. Vice Provost. And the author's Discourse on Legal Education, delivered at the opening of the Law Academy in February, 1821. With an Appendix and Notes. The great system of jurisprudence, like that of the universe, consists of many subordinate systems, all of which are connected by nice links and beautiful dependencies, and each of them, as I have fully persuaded myself, is reducible to a few plain elements. Jones, Law of Bailtuents,"

In Conformity to the Act of the Congress of the United States, intituled, "An Act for the Encouragement of Learning, by securing the Copies of Maps, Charts, and Books, to the Authors and Proprietors of such Copies, during the Times therein mentioned."--And also to the Act, entitled, " An Act supplementary to An Act, entitled, "An Act for the Encouragement of Learning, by securing the Copies of Mups, Charts and Books, to the Author's and Proprietors of such Copies during the Times therein mentioned," and extending the Benefits thereof to the Arts of designing, engraving, and etching historical and other Prints."
