Excerpt from Forms and Precedents in Conveyancing: With Introduction and Practical Notes

The Author was for several years a pupil in the chambers of the late William Hanbury Jones, the eminent conveyancer, and during that period, with the industry of the students of the olden time, he collected and wrote out many manuscript volumes of forms and precedents. Mr. Hanbury Jones was himself a favourite pupil of Richard Preston. The collection of forms bears such honoured names as Sugden, Duval, Preston and Hodgson, and some of them were compiled by Mr. Jones, and all, more or less, revised by him. It seems to have been the practice of Mr. Preston to prepare drafts more from forms than completed precedents, and Mr. Jones inherited and enforced among his pupils the same method. Hence the collection made by the compiler consisted principally of forms.
