Masterful reference for legal pleading and old‑style precedents

This volume continues the comprehensive system of pleading, presenting established precedents and forms used in assumpsit and covenant actions. It-arranges and explains declarations, pleas, replications, and the related indices to help readers locate the right language quickly.

Designed for students, practitioners, and researchers, the book compiles rarely printed material alongside established forms. It explains how to frame claims, defenses, and the various pleas, with guidance on how they fit within the broader system of covenant and assumpsit proceedings. The volume also includes notes on anomalies, order of Pleas, and cross‑references that aid study and practice.

Complete set of declarations not reducible to a single head, plus the Pleas, Replications, Rejoinders, and more for Assumpsit.
Special pleas and nonstandard entries, with guidance on how they map to the main heads.
Extensive indexing by Head and Topic to speed study and reference.
Practical examples showing how covenants and contracts were framed and defended.

Ideal for readers of 18th‑century civil procedure, classic legal drafting, and historical law research.
