Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Attachment and Garnishment, Vol. 1 of 2: With an Appendix Containing a Compilation of the Statutes of the Different States and Territories Now in Force Governing Suits by Attachment, Attachment by Direct LevyThese considerations will suggest some of the perplexities that beset the author in endeavoring to present a methodical treatise upon such an unmethodical subject, and will serve as a sufficient apology for what may be found wanting in systematic arrangement or scientific treatment. It will also be a sufficient excuse for my failure to harmonize con¿icting decisions upon the different branches of the law. So far from making any pretense of having even partially accomplished this, I do not pretend to have attempted it, beyond an occasional reference to the governing statute as an explanation of apparent con¿icts of judicial construction.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
