Excerpt from Reports of Cases Determined in the Constitutional Court of South Carolina, 1820, Vol. 1 The decisions of this State, since the Revolution, have advanced our Judiciary but little, either in diminishing the number of cases, relating to subjects of daily suits, by set tling such points as most generally arise from the nature of our Government, or (to use the language of Chancel lor Kent) in reasserting and firmly establishing such parts of t the English Common Law, as is not inconsistent with our situation, or repealed by some statutory provision. On almost every point that occurs, English authorities, both ante rior and subsequent to the Revolution, are referred to, not because a number of decisions have ootheca made by our Court, but because we have no evidence of them. Of the vast number of cases that have occurred in this State, since the Revolution, but four volumes of the decisions of this Court have been published; the Reports of Mr. Justice Bay and two volumes, lately published by Mr. Uilill. It is to be feared, that the evil Will not be immediately removed. Gentlemen of the Bar, who stand at its head, will not be induced to increase their labours two fold, fora con sideration, which scarcely would amount to a satisfactory compensation for one or two cases of slander or trespass, or which might, every Court, be surpassed, by an Equity fee.

My coachman looked round with a miserable, hopeless kind of a face that tempted a smile, and stared at me a moment before either of us thought of uttering a word. "Well, Juan," said I,u what's;the matter? something broken--what are we to do?" "What are we to do, senor? That's exactly what I was about to ask of you! I think I had best mount the horse with the broken harness, and ride to the village we see in the valley. You can remain in the carriage till the repairs are done." "Indeed I see no other plan; but I had set my heart upon reaching Lora to night. The village is fully a league off, and it will take you nearly two hours to go, have the harness mended, and return. I must therefore content myself with passing the night at that same village; for it will be impossible to get any farther with all this delay. So saying, I threw myself back in the carriage in no very pleasant mood. At this moment I heard a musical, good-natured voice exclaim, "Good day, comrade. I see from your plight that you have either bad leather or bad roads." "Yes, or bad luck," answered Juan, in a kind of growl, while he mounted the harnessed horse and made ready for the village, " or bad luck; for we have got on many a day and over many a league of worse road without ever breaking a stitch before." "Wonderful, wonderful, that harness should break at last, instead of at first. By the same rule I should judge that you had been wofully cheated in your doublet, which shows its threads like the ribs of a very Rozinante. But what are you about now? Do you wish to try the strength of your cattle, by seeing whether one of your horses can draw a carriage...

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1835 edition. Excerpt: ... his colic, Singularity had again got quite in the rear; but no sooner did he hear the news, than, forgetting his bodily pain, he seized a standard, and rushed indignantly forward. "No capitulation, fellow-soldiers," cried he. " Let us storm the fort I are patriots to listen to any terms of despots?" This gallant appeal was answered by loud applause from a part of the fresh troops. M'Gregor expostulated in vain, till he informed them that the Spanish cannon were so pointed that they must inevitably produce destruction at the first fire; but that, nevertheless, he would leave a reserve in the rear, and lead on to the escalade those who expressed a desire to advance. Humanity, on-second reflection, prevailed over the rash impulses of Tommy's courage; and, in order to save the effusion of patriot blood, he no longer urged the assault. The capitulation was speedily arranged without the firing of a gun. The Spanish commander could have done no more. He truly saw that it was madness in his situation to contend against at least six times his own real force, and feared, in case of resistance, the merciless slaughter common in the civil war then raging. Little as there was to boast of in this affair, the patriots were wonderfully elated, and dreamed that the capture of Augustine, Pensacola, and all Florida, would be as easy as that of Fernandina. The general-in-chief addressed a proclamation to the inhabitants of Amelia Island, and another to the army, uttered, in "as brave words as you shall see in a summer's day," the latter of which we will give at full length., "Soldiers and Sailors--the 29th of June will be for ever memorable in the annals of the independence of-America. On that day...

Henry Junius Nott was born on November 4, 1797 in Union District, South Carolina, United States. He was the son of Judge Abraham Nott, and Angelica (Mitchell) Nott, and a brother of Josiah Clark Nott.
Nott's schooling was obtained at the Columbia Academy, from which he entered the sophomore class of the South Carolina College in 1810. Graduating in December 1814, he studied law in the office of William Harper. Nott sailed for Europe in 1821, where he spent the next three years in study, for the most part in France and Holland.
Nott was admitted to the bar in 1818, and formed a partnership with David J. McCord. The firm did not enjoy a very large practice. The partners published two volumes of law reports, which have been considered valuable, although the reports of cases were very brief.
On December 7, 1824, he was elected professor of the elements of criticism, logic, and the philosophy of language in his alma mater, and for thirteen years he held the chair with marked success.
His Novellettes of a Traveller; or, Odds and Ends from the Knapsack of Thomas Singularity, Journeyman Printer is the only other work that came from his pen. It was received with enthusiasm at the time and was regarded as "full of fun"; but the modern reader finds in it little merit. The sketch of Singularity is a dull narrative of his by no means interesting adventures. Of the other tales the "Dwarf's Duel" may still engage the attention of the reader.
On October 7, 1837, Nott left New York for Charleston on the unfortunate steamer Home. The vessel was wrecked two days later off the coast of North Carolina. He could have saved his life, according to all accounts, but he perished with his wife rather than survive her.

Quotes from others about the person
"Perhaps no one ever filled the department with more ability. He had great enthusiasm in the cause of letters, was well fitted for presenting it in its most inviting and entertaining aspects, and very apt, therefore, to awaken a love for it in the bosom of others". (Maximilian La Borde)
Nott met and married a French woman. He left one daughter.
