This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Clayton Augustin Smith was born on November 27, 1783 at Fredericksburg, Virginia, United States. He was the fourth child of Philip and Mildred (Dixon) Clayton. In 1784 the family removed to Georgia and settled in Richmond County.
Clayton was graduated from the University of Georgia in 1804, in the first class graduated by that institution, which opened in 1801. He studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1806 and settled in Athens.
In 1810 Clayton was commissioned by the legislature to compile the Georgia laws from 1800 to 1810; his compilation was published in 1812. After terms in the General Assembly (1810 - 1812) and three years as clerk of the lower house, he was elected judge of the western superior circuit court. He held this office from 1819 to 1825, when he was defeated for reelection. He was again elected to the judgeship in 1828. He entered Georgia Senate in 1826 and 1827 and the United States House of Representatives in 1831 and retired from Congress at the end of the session in March 1835. Later he returned to Athens and practiced law. Personally he was an agreeable and popular man and was regarded by his contemporaries as a jurist and statesman of ability. He was deeply interested in the University of Georgia, serving for many years as trustee and secretary of the board. In 1838 he was stricken with paralysis and died the following year.
Augustin Smith Clayton became politician and jurist of national significance. He got his recognition as the judge for his cases leading to the removal of the Cherokee Indians from Georgia and for his service in the legislature of Georgia and U. S. Congress. Clayton County and the town of Clayton were named in his honor and major streets in Athens and Lawrenceville.
