Excerpt from The Statutes, General Orders and Regulations: Relating to the Practice, Pleading, and Jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery; With Copious Notes

The extremely ﬂattering reception which the First Edition of this work obtained both from the Profession and the Press, has encouraged the Author to re-issue it in a more compre hensive shape, and upon a plan more in unison with the improvements recently introduced into the practice. The Consolidation of the General Orders of the Court of Chancery, though executed with admirable care and ability, has been felt to be practically incomplete, for want of a digest of the nume rous decisions upon their construction, which have become as much a part of the practice as the Orders themselves. The most inattentive reader of the Authorised Edition of those Orders must have long since discovered, that their smooth pages preserve intact a variety of controverted questions, which the light of nature will hardly enable him to solve. With the view of supplying, however imperfectly, this admitted want, the Author has, in conformity with the original plan of the work, given under the rules of each Order, as well as under the sections of each Act, a summary of all the cases, nearly three thousand in number, decided thereon, so as to show the prac titioner at once what they do and what they do not authorise him to attempt.
