Excerpt from The Record and Writ Practice, Court of Chancery: Comprising the Several Forms Used in Proceedings in the Record and Writ Clerks' Office, Practical Directions and Observations

The Author believes that notwithstanding the existence of several works on the Practice of the Court of Chancery this volume will he acceptable to the practitioner, much of the information which it contains being such as is in constant requirement, and yet not to be found in other books of practice.

The observation may appear egotistical, - it is, nevertheless, only the expression of a conviction founded on daily experience and observation.

The work upon the same subject, published by the late Mr. Veal, in the year 1845, was, so far as it extended, of real practical utility, - but, by the changes which have been effected in the practice of the Court since that time, especially since 1853, such work has become obsolete, and almost entirely useless.

The difference in bulk of the present work, as compared with that published by the late Mr. Veal, is, however, so great, as to deserve some explanation.

The difference alluded to may, in some measure, be attributed to the more complete treatment by the Author, in this work, of the several subjects included, - but it is more especially attributable to changes in the practice and increase in the business of the Office.
