Excerpt from Rights, Remedies, and Practice, at Law, in Equity, and Under the Codes, Vol. 1 of 7: A Treatise on American Law in Civil Causes, With a Digest of Illustrative Cases The American text-books on the different branches of the law are very numerous. Yet it will be found that while on some Of these branches the writers have been very diligent, others have been all but neglected. There are what I may term favorite topics upon which nearly every writer has tried his hand; there are others, again, on which none has cared to venture, or if he has essayed them at all, he has by no means attempted to exhaust them. In preparing the different titles of my work, where I have discovered that the text-books could give me very little assistance or none at all, I have gone into the re ports more fully than in other cases, and as a result, these titles in my book will be found, I think, Of peculiar value. A sufficient index for the purpose of reference is at the end of each volume. But at the completion of the work there will be issued a comprehensive index to every point contained in any Of the volumes.
