Excerpt from Practice and Pleading in Actions in the Courts of Record in the State of New York, Under the Code of Procedure, and Other Statutes, When Applicable: With an Appendix of Forms

The author has, on the other hand, omitted from the present edition his former brief notice of independent special proceedings, and also the concluding chapter as to the retrospective effect of the Code. The latter subject has become practically obsolete; the former is, in fact, foreign to the plan of the work.

That plan remains substantially the same as before. The progress of a suit in the higher courts of the state is traced, from its origin and preliminaries, down to its final determination; practical directions being given for its conduct and management, in each step which may be necessary or advisable during that progress.

The provisions of the Code, of the Revised or General Statutes, and of the Rules of the Courts, which bear upon each particular division of the general subject, are, on the present occasion, cited in the body of the work, instead of being subjoined at its close. An appendix of forms is added, as heretofore, and each volume closes with an index of the subjects considered in it. The first embraces all matters connected, directly or indirectly, with the commencement and progress of a suit, down to the preparation and service of the complaint, inclusive; the second, all subsequent stages of procedure, in that suit, down to its close.
