The grounds and rudiments of law and equity, alphabetically digested: containing a collection of rules or maxims, with the doctrine upon them, illustrated by various cases extracted from the books and records, to evince that these principles have been the foundation upon which the judges and sages of the law have built their solemn resolutions and determinations
The whole designed to reduce the knowledge of the laws of England to a more regular science, and to form them into a proper digest for the service of the nobility, clergy, gentlemen in the commission of the peace, and private gentlemen, as well as the professors and students of the law. With three tables. First, of the rudiments and grounds. Second, of the new cases. Third, of principal matters.
A collection of modern entries, or, Select pleadings in the Courts of King's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer : viz. declarations, pleas in abatement and in bar, replications, rejoinders, &c., demurrers, issues, verdicts, judgments, forms of making up records of nisi prius, and entring of judgments, &c., in most actions. Many of them drawn or perused by Mr. Broderick, Carthew, Comyns, Darnel ... and other learned counsel. As also special assignments of errors, and writs and proceedings thereupon, both in the said courts and in Parliament. With the method of suing to and reversing outlawries by writ of error or otherwise. To which is added a collection of writs in most cases now in practice. With two tables, one of the names of the cases, and the other of the pleadings and writs
written in French by Sir Henry Finch, Knight, His Majesty's Serjeant at Law. And done into English by the same author. To which are now added, Notes and References and a Table to the chapters by Danby Pickering, of Gray's Inn, Esq. ; and Reader of the Law-Lecture to that Honourable Society.
