Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sketch of the Life and Judicial Labors of Chief-Justice Shaw
In the common-law courts, a new system of pleading, ex cept as to real actions, has been introduced; as compared with the old system of special pleading, illogical and slipshod, without form or comeliness; but, after all, answering the ends of substantial justice better than the often over-nice and subtle logic of the old system. With all the imperfections of the new practice, the merits of the cause sooner or later strug gle into light. It was not always so with the old.
