Description
“The present volume is intended to develop and disclose the rational basis for the main principles of practice employed in the trial of civil actions at law. Recourse has been had to the whole body of American case law, and the choice of cases has been determined by the clearness with which the court has shown a logical justification for the decision made….
“The cases have been very freely edited, and everything not germane to the subject for which the case was chosen has been omitted….” --Preface
