About This Item

Dublin: Dublin: Printed by James Moore, No. 45, College-Green. MDCCXCI. [1791], 1791. Hardcover. Very Good. Description: 8vo (8¼ × 5¼ in): xxii, [18], viii, 534 p. Contemporary polished calf, gilt label. · Register: 8º: A^8 b^8 c^4 B-2M^8 (last leaf blank). · Condition: Some stains to boards; light to moderate toning and foxing throughout; a few early manuscript annotations. · Comments: Dublin reprint of the 1771 London edition. "A System of Pleading" is founded on "Doctrina Placitandi," printed in 1677, but written in law French much earlier. Holdsworth praised it as being the only systematic treatment of the subject until Stephen's "Pleading," published in 1824, and notes that it was closely studied by students as late as the latter half of the eighteenth century. The text is arranged under alphabetic headings, covering the forms of action, types of defensive pleading, and particular topics in pleading, such as "Colour" and "Negative Pregnant." The authorities cited are mainly from the seventeenth century and earlier, although the eighteenth century editor has inserted references to subsequent statutes as well as a few more recent cases and treatises, including Blackstone's Commentaries. · References: Johnson 180 (2 copies); Marvin 299; Holdsworth, HEL 5:386; Worrall 188, 194; Bridgman 114; S&M 1:268(61); ESTC T172546.
