"Mr. Waterhouse, though a very prolix as well as an extrava- gant writer, one who too frequently exhausts himself and dis- gusts his readers by tedious, useless, and ill-timed digressions, appears to have beeu a man of considerable learning ; and his collections relating to the antiquities of our law may aome- times be resorted to with great advantage, and may very much facilitate the labours of more Judicious and able inquirers."
