Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Executions in Civil Cases, and of Proceedings in Aid and Restraint Thereof
When this book was about half completed, I was deprived of a portion of my coveted apology by the publication of a work on the same topic. My first impulse was to discontinue my own labors. But a work on Executions was so clearly a sequel to my work on Judgments my thought and research in the preparation of the latter were so evidently of a char acter to fit me for the prosecution of the former and, beyond all, I was so thoroughly interested in my theme, that I de termined to proceed. The result of this determination is now before the reader. If, after a patient examination of my work, he can truly say that there was no need of its publica tion, and that it will prove of no material aid to the bench and bar of my country, then both myself and my publishers will deserve his commiseration as much as we shall merit his censure.
