Excerpt from Digest of the Statutes of the United States: Prescribing the Rates of Duties on Imports, in Force April 1, 1867 This publication was not designed to compete with the convenient Manual of Tariffs prepared by Mr. Ogden, or any similar work; but simply to place in the hands of those who might desire, for their own satisfaction, to compare the published tariff lists with existing statutes, the means of readily doing so. It will be seen that there are statutory provisions upon the subject, still in force, which date as far back as the year 1838. Our duty laws were hidden away in a confused mass of obsolete and repealed matter, so that they were almost inaccessible, not only to those whose interests were most affected by them, but even to experts, lawyers, and courts. It has been the purpose of the compiler to bring order out of this confusion, and to furnish to all interested a clear presentation of the statutes now in force. He trusts that this little book, which has cost him a vast deal of labor, will prove useful to those for whom it was intended.
