Excerpt from A Treatise on Pleading, Vol. 2 of 3: With a Collection of Precedents and an Appendix of Forms Adapted to the Recent Pleading and Other Rules, With Practical Notes

It may here be proper to state the history of the greater part of the pre cedents collected in this and the next volume. The author had the good for tune to commence his legal studies under the directions of his relatives, the late Mr. Serjeant George Bond and Mr. Luders, who obtained for him the privi lege of assess to the best pleadings adopted, prepared, settled, or otherwise sanctioned and constantly used by those eminent pleaders, most of them afier wards judges, viz. Wallace, Warren, Bullet, Chambre, Gibbs, Bond, Wood, Holroyd, Law, Abbot, he. 650. These forms (i might say from time to time immemorially) had been improved with great care, after having been trans lated from the old entries. The author also selected some excellent original forms from the original demurrer books of Mr. Justice Ashurst, with his valuable notes and observations (d). This entire collection was deficient only in the precedents in assumpsit. The author was enabled to supply that chasm during his pupilage under Mr. Tidd, who evinced peculiar skill and perspicuity in his pleadings in that form of action, which, of necessity, in its special counts discloses so much of the plaintifl' 's Cause of action.
