Excerpt from An Analysis of the Principles of Equity Pleading: Containing a Compendium of the High Court of Chancery, and the Foundation of Its Rules, Together With an Illustration of the Analogy Between Pleadings at Common Law and in Equity; With American Supplement, Containing Equity Rules and Forms
I'r has long been a subject of reproach that the study of the law has degenerated from a liberal and scientific pursuit into a mere mechanical process of acquiring forms by dint of manual labor at the desk. How far this general censure on the profession may be just, we will not new step to inquire; but thus much we may be permitted to observe, that they who would confine the education of a lawyer to mere books, without afi'ording the student the advantages to be derived from the practice of an ofiice; and those who, on the other hand, recommend to have the pupil immersed in all the details of business, without a previous competent knowledge of the theory, would equally pursue a system erroneous and unprofitable.
