Synopsis

A Complete System Of Pleading: Comprehending The Most Approved Precedents And Forms Of Practice; Chiefly Consisting Of Such As Have Never Before Been Printed: With An Index To The Principal Work, Incorporating And Making It A Continuation Of Townshend's And Cornwall's Tables, To The Present Time; by John Wentworth presents an 18th?century English legal reference designed for practitioners and students. The volume collects pleading precedents and form templates across heads of action such as Abatement, Account, and Assumpsit, and shows how modern and ancient authorities are integrated within a practical system. It offers dense, formulaic declarations and notes—ranging from abstracts of misnomers and privilege to numerous counts in Assumpsit (including on the note, money had and received, indebitatus assumpsit, and account stated), with variations for joint versus individual actions, administration after death, and the handling of endorsements and presentation. The work further provides sections on mercantile customs, statutes, cautions on form, and illustrative maritime insurance pleadings to contextualize related but distinct claims. An extensive Notes and Instructions segment on Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes, together with an index of civil heads, supports practical drafting and procedural understanding for historic pleadings.
