ПРЕДИСЛОВИЕ.

Настоящим представляется первое издание «Законодательного справочника Колорадо». Хотя оно предназначено для использования Генеральной Ассамблеей, оно не может не заинтересовать все слои общества — юристов, торговцев, претендентов на политические посты и даже молодежь, которая взрослеет и вскоре разделит его серьезные обязанности. Оно содержит информацию, которую невозможно получить иным путем без больших затрат времени и терпения на изучение архивов, согласование многочисленных расхождений, дополнение пропусков и исправление ошибок. История до образования штата неизбежно кратка. Очерки о выдающихся личностях, а также комментарии о событиях и действиях отдельных лиц не включены по той причине, что период повествования должен быть достаточно удален от настоящего времени, чтобы уберечь историка от чрезмерной предвзятости и пристрастности. Заселение Колорадо, ныне процветающего штата, началось едва ли двадцать лет назад. Поэтому чувство приличия требует, чтобы было представлено только простое, точное и правдивое изложение того, что произошло в связи с этим заселением. При подготовке Летописи законодательного собрания было затрачено много труда и внимания. Летопись настолько полна и точна, насколько это было возможно, учитывая отъезд членов из Территории, неточность записей и несовершенство журналов. Для новичка в законодательной деятельности «Справочник обычаев, прецедентов и форм» окажется весьма ценным. Я стремился и, поистине, не жалел ни сил, ни средств, чтобы сделать это издание лучше всех других уже опубликованных Законодательных справочников.

Этот Справочник будет публиковаться раз в два года с такими изменениями, какие могут потребоваться в силу обстоятельств, и такими улучшениями, которые может подсказать опыт. Я не отрицаю, что стремлюсь получить одобрение признательной публики, и надеюсь, что их полное сочувствие моим усилиям в этом направлении будет оказано в полной мере. Приятно осознавать, и это должно вызывать похвальную гордость, что Колорадо не уступает ни одному из старейших, наиболее густонаселенных и богатых штатов по характеру, стилю и полноте данного издания.

С большим удовольствием признаю, что от начала до завершения этой работы я получал много доброй и сердечной помощи. Моя глубочайшая благодарность выражается Роберту Берри и Уильяму У. Уэбстеру, опытным законодателям, за их любезное содействие и ценную помощь. Любезность судьи Амоса Стека, чья память на факты, даты и лица заслуживает особого упоминания, и доброта О. Дж. Голдрика, редактора и владельца «Роки Маунтин Геральд», с благодарностью отмечаются здесь.

Надеясь, что эта работа оправдает ожидания Генеральной Ассамблеи и штата в целом, я с уважением представляю ее на их суд.
