John Cadwalader, signing (with added "attorney at law") on inside of upper cover, is very likely both the compiler of the forms, etc., and author of the various opinions stated in 1st person singular.
The dated notes and forms are all from the 1820's (earliest date shown is 1823); a note on p. 2 was not made before 1837 (it refers to Troubat and Haly's Practice, first published in that year).

Written in Pennsylvania; includes several entries written (copied) by hands other than the main one, taken to be Cadwalader's.
Collation does not include several leaves which had been excised, with stubs remaining; notably, 5 leaves immediately following p. [66]. Many pages are blank, notably p. [85-138].
Includes index (p. [139-161]).
