A TREATISE
ON THE LAW OF INSURANCE,
'fo render this work useful to the Merchant, the
Author has observed one invariable and uniform
rule through the whole. Each case will be found
to consist of three distinct parts ; the fact—the de
cision—and the reasons assigned for that decision.
The Merchant will discover from the perusal of
this work, that the leading principles which govern
contracts of Insurance, lie within a very small com
pass, Those principles are established ; and if
well understood, the only difficulty which remains
is the application of them to particular cases.

There is scarcely any species of contracts which
affords a greater number of questions of doubt and
difficulty, than that of Marine Insurance. Yet the
principles of the law, applicable to this contract, are
in general well defined ; but the policy being u
suaily of the same tenour, and the transactions upon
which it is to operate infinitely various and compli
cated, the conflicting rights of the parties are often
so equally balanced, that it is impossible to decide
between them without sometimes resorting to very
rice distinctions.

The work has been compiled with fidelity and at
tention, and in compression of matter, accuracy and
variety of forms, and brevity of statement, is con
sidered superior to the modern compilations on this
subject. Many of the Pleas were drawn or perused
by the first Pleaders ; and their names are annex
ed to them, where the authority was certain. Among
others, we witness the names of R. Dana, J. Sewall,
W. Pynchon, B. Pratt, O, Trowbridge, J. Adams,
J Quincey, J.,Lowell, F, Dana, T. Parsons, S. Sew

and others, the former and present ornaments of
the bench or bar.
PREFACE TO THE WORK.
The design of the following fele&on is to facilitate to
the American student the practice of special pleading. A
variety of English books on this fubjea are at once elabo
rate and learned. Yet such is the diff#ice of our customs,
statutes, and common law, that the^will be found, in
many instances, inadequate to supply &e necessities of our
own juridical practice. The compilations if Raftall, Coke,
Thompson, Herne, and Brownlow, hd we /er valuable for
the conciseness and precision of their form!, arc profufe in
ancient lore, applicable to special jurifdiaipns, or obsolete
with feudal doctrines ; and those of Mallorf, Lilly, Mor
gan, and Wentworth, though highly ufeful, abound with
matter calculated only for an English 'orum. These confid
eratioos, added to the high price of foreign books, suggested
the prefeot compilation.
In the arrangement of the pleadings method h^s been
pursued, so far as it was deemed advantage, us for facility
or reference, but as portions only of the pleadings are oc
casionally fileted,* where the whole seemed unntceffary,
and the choice of position was not always dilated by any
relation between them, exactitude in this refpeCl has not
been always practicable. Annexed to many of the plead
ings will be found annotations immediately referable to
them, and sometimes occasional dissertations opbn con
tested points. These last, however, are few ; and ire sub
mitted with deference to the profcffion. Volume )might
be written on the law, which bears so pleading ; but the
present deiign was to be concise and ufeful ; to add no ir
relevant matter ; and to keep ftri&ly to the points in the
forms. In this view it was thought adyifeable,for the con
venience of students, to feleff and arrange in notaftch au
thorities and principles as invalidated or fubHantiated the
precedents. In this refpcCl, the head>f abatement may
appear unnecessarily copious. But when it is confidcreu,
that few of the printed Entries arc on this head copious
and corred ; that these pleas are oeccffarily drawn in haste
amid the hurry of the fittings ; that, being dilatory pleas,
they arc odious, and of course the greatest accuracy and
precision in forum is required ; and that the law respect
ing them has "on many important points been but lately
fettled ; it is presumed, that the annotations will be found
neither inconvenient nor Superfluous.
The Sources, whence the work has been drawn, arc man
uferipts of accomplished pleaders, records of adjudged ca
ses in our own courts, and, were these failed, the Eng
lish entries and reporters, Whenever it was practicable in
fcledion, the ancient pleadings have been preferred for
their technical, brevity and legal precision. Inthefe re
peds, Rafail is an admirable model, and worthy of chcAt
tention of every lawyer—The Clerk's Affifant the Infractor
Clericalis, Herns's Pleader, the Entries of Coke Ref all Levinz
Brownlow and Tbempfon among the ancient pleadings, and
Lill, Morgan, and IVentwostb, among the modern, have
been chiefly consulted —The reporters particularly the late
ones, have supplied many usual forms —But to the very
valuable edition of Saunders' Reports by Serjeant Williams
the highest obligations are due—From the text of this very
able pleader,and from the numerous comments of his late ed
itor, copious extracts are in every part of this compilation.
Even where notes had been previously prepared, references
have beep added to this edition of Saunders to fan&ion opin
ions, or add weight to authorities.
The reader is not to conclude,that all the pleadings which
are here inferred, are exact in form or sustained in principle.
Some were adopted from the authority of names some
from the authority of bookstand some from the reaped due
to living pleaders, f Though occasionally a quere is added
to guard against supposed. error, yet it would have illy
become the Compiler to have amended by bis own judgment
or questioned on legal prefuniption —As the authorities
however are generally annexed to the p leadings, the read
er is left to decide for himfelf on their validity—Any oth
er refponAbility, than for the general accuracy of uanferip
tion, is wholly disclaimed.
Such arc the pretentions of the work, and the profcffion
must decide on its execution,nd utility. The Compiler is
duly fcnfibleof bis inadequacy to the talk; but the proffered
affiftapce of eminent counsel, and the encouragement of pro
s fcffional benefit, have infcnribly led him to the profcention
of it. Those alone who can command legal experience com
petent to perfect the detign, elevated to the higher grades
of judicial honor, feel not the desire or want the leifurc, to
smooth the intricate paths of special pleading.
Humble and confined as this Compilation may appear,
ft has not been made without very considerable labour In
fubmittiog.it to public candor, the words of Lord Coke,
in his preface to his fourth Report, are offered for conside
ration :—lllud a dodo ledore peto, vclout corrigat sicubi
erratum iuveniric, vel faitem ne partem aliquam reprehen
dat, donee totum ffudiofc perlcgcrit, unde forte net ut pau
ciora criminetur. Salem, 1804.
* This is chiefly done in actions, "where one gen
eral pled admitted of various replication and re
joinders ; as in the pleas of Limitation in As
sumpsit, emdfile# of General Performance in
Debt on Bond to account. In these cases it was
deemed unnecessary to select more than the repli
cations and rejoinder®; and sometimes the latter
0n1y.,.
, Most of those drawn by living characters tn
this Commonwealth, have been inspected by: them
previous to publication. Indeed the whole work
has been perused by several learned Counsel, for
whose valuable comment, and kind advices I en
tertain an unfeigned gratitude.
The price 0, the work, (five dollars,) it if
believed, will be considered as moderate, when it
is understood, that the labour of compiling and the
expence of publishing, have been very great, .the
work contains seven hundred pages royal octavo,
printed on a .fine thick paper and a new type ;
and indeed the whole execution is equal to the
best London editions of Law Books.
