Book Description
Excerpt from A Treatise Upon the United States Courts and Their Practice, Vol. 1 The general object of this work is to give to the practitioner already conversant with jurisprudence in its general outline, as administered in the courts of the States, a parallel acquaintance with all that is peculiar to the judicial organization and the administration of justice in the National courts. It is assumed that the reader has already gained an acquaintance with whatever is common to courts of justice generally, and with the great body of common law and equity, which is administered by all the leading American courts upon principles fundamentally similar. These volumes seek merely to superadd a knowledge of those details which are necessary to qualify the practitioner for the special duty of practice in the courts of the Union. The work, as originally published, was received with a favor very gratifying to the author and publishers. Since it appeared, the entire body of the statute law of the United States has received a new form and arrangement by the enactment of the United States Revised Statutes. The author was one of the commissioners by whom the Revision was draughted for the consideration of Congress. While the change affects only very slightly the substance and operation of the laws, it renders all references to them, by former arrangements, inappropriate; and throws doubt over all quotations of their language. In this edition the work has been thoroughly rewritten, and stereotyped anew. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
