One of the five treatises Abraham Lincoln assigned to his law apprentices. Writing in 1847, Marvin noted: "Chitty's Pleading is a work so well known and appreciated in England and America, that little need be said of it here. Like several other of this author's productions, it is doubtless in more general use in the United States than in England. As a practical treatise it surpasses all others upon the law of Pleading, in the variety and extent of its learning, and the copiousness of its forms. (.) No practical lawyer can dispense with this book." Two of this set's former owners were likely James Tufton Leavitt [1804-1857], a Maine attorney and politician who served in both branches of the state legislature, and Albert Harris Ware [1827-1893], an attorney who practiced in North Anson, Maine.
