An effort has also been made to enlarge the original scope of the work, and enhance its usefulness, by incorporating it in a large number of new forms, adapted to the needs of the profession in all the code States and Territories The forms so added have been carefully prepared, and have uniformly been approved by the appellate courts. Whenever necessary the forms contained in the previous editions have been revised so as to harmonize with the most recent decisions. Many new and recent authorities have also been examined and cited, from all the States which have adopted the reform procedure; and whenever a change has been made in the rules and doctrines contained in the previous editions, either by judicial decision or legislative enactment, the same has been noted, and the text modified accordingly.

Excerpt from Forms of Pleading in Actions for Legal or Equitable Relief, Vol. 1 of 2: Prepared With Especial Reference to the Codes of Procedure of the Various States and Adapted to the Present Practice in Many Common Law States These volumes are a final fulfillment of Mr. Abbott' s promise to the legal profession, as made in his preface to the New Practice Forms, published in 1887. Mr. Abbott there announced It is, therefore, my purpose to treat the subject of pleading separately. His purpose was in part realized by the publica tion in 1891 of his Brief on Pleading, designed as a general treatise on the subject, to accompany the later volumes present ing the forms, and to relieve them of the necessity of including a burdensome amount of text. His labors on the material for the present volumes were continuous until the time of his death. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
