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.

Richard Smith Coxe was born in January 1792 in Burlington County, New Jersey, United States. He was a great-grandson of Colonel Daniel Coxe, and a son of William Coxe and Rachel (Smith) Coxe, who at the time of Richard’s birth were residing at Burlington, New Jersey.
Richard obtained his early education at the Burlington Academy, was prepared for college by a private tutor, and entered the College of New Jersey (Princeton) in 1805, graduating in 1808. He then read law for three years in the office of Judge William Griffith at Burlington, after which he went to Philadelphia, studied with Horace Binney and was admitted to the bar of the supreme court of Pennsylvania, December 1812.
Coxe practised for some time in Philadelphia, making a special study of real property law. Early evincing great literary activity, in his leisure he prepared A New Critical Pronouncing Dictionary of the English Language Compiled by an American Gentleman, which was published in 1813. He also compiled Reports of Cases Argued and Determined in the Supreme Court of New Jersey from April Term 1790 to November Term 1795 Both Inclusive, which appeared in 1816. This work forms the first volume of the series of reports of decisions of the supreme court of New Jersey. He was admitted to the New Jersey bar in May 1817.
Opening an office in Burlington he soon acquired a good practise and was appointed deputy attorney-general for Burlington County. In December 1822, however, he removed to Washington, D. C. , and was admitted to the bar of the circuit court of the District of Columbia. At this period much litigation dealing with intricate questions of real property law applicable to the colonies of Great Britain, France, and Spain arose from the cession of Florida and Louisiana, and in due course came before the Supreme Court of the United States. Coxe, owing to his having specialized in real property law, was briefed in a number of suits, and such was the skill which he displayed in handling these cases, involving as they did not only important principles of municipal law but delicate considerations of public international law, that he quickly established himself as a leader of the Supreme Court. Thenceforth his practise was chiefly before that tribunal, where his ability procured for him some years predominance as counsel.
Despite his heavy professional engagements, he prepared a Digest of Decisions Supreme, Circuit, and District Courts, United States, 1789-1829, which was published in 1829. Consistently refusing to enter public life, he confined himself to his professional work, seeking his recreation in literary studies, particularly the English classics. To this avocation may be attributed the attractive scholarly way in which he invariably presented his cases to the Court, his arguments being remarkable for their perfection of language and logic. He was frequently called upon on academic and patriotic occasions to deliver addresses, a number of which were subsequently published, and, in addition to the works previously referred to, he wrote a Review of the Relations between the United States and Mexico (1846) and a brochure, The Present State of the African Slave-Trade (1858).
Richard Smith Coxe was a very prominent lawyer in New Jersey and Washington D. C. and distinguished himself in the Supreme Court of the United States. It was said of him at one time that he was employed in more cases upon the docket of the Supreme Court of the United States than any other lawyer in the country. As a judge advocate, he appeared for the government in many prosecutions before courts-martial.

Coxe married, January 23, 1816, to Susan B. , daughter of Judge Griffith. In 1840 he married as his second wife Mrs. Susan R. Wheeler, daughter of John Warren of New York.
