Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Pleading in Civil Actions Under the Judicature Acts It is in the hope of removing one cause of this want of success that I have written this Book on the principles of our present system of pleading. I have embodied in it notes made from time to time for the use of my own pupils. The rules of law are stated in large type; explanations, historical matter, and practical hints are given in smaller type, but larger than that used for the Illustrations. These have often been drawn from the older reports. It is to the six teenth and seventeenth centuries that we must turn for a clear exposition of the rules of pleading at common law; and it was only in those days that the rules of pleading were rigor ously and infiexibly enforced. Now, our regard for the merits overrides our respect for nice questions of pleading, though such questions still largely affect costs. But while the old law is freely referred to, all relevant decisions since 1875 will be found cited under their appropriate headings.
