While the editor of the present edition has
aimed to make it useful in all sections of the
country-to generaIize and not localize il, he
has devoted some seventy of its pages to the
new practice in Massachusetts. Beside all
the "forms of law presented by the practice
act of 1860, he has furnished more than a
hundred precedents, such as are in use in
that state since the passage of that act.
These last have been gathered from the rec
ords of the courts in Suffolk county, and
with the presented forms) contain VARIABLE
practical commentary on this new practice.
This new book ought certainly to be in the
hands Of every lawyer in the state of Massa-
chusetts, and will be'when its true character
and merits are understood.
