Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Pleading in Civil Actions
Those who devoted themselves to the study of pleading, were struck with admiration, of the pre cision with which it produced its effects, and of the subtlety with which its means were generally adap ted to their ends. Those who did not so devote themselves, saw only the cumbrous forms, and the contrivances introduced, as it seemed to them, solely to perplex the subject. They saw too, that the rules of pleading occasionally produced the decision of causes upon questions, the connection of which with the merits of the case, they could not discern. They therefore, in the loose and general way in which men sometimes think, con-founded special pleading with sophistry. Perhaps the words are never used, out of a law book, in any other sense.
