Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Practical Treatise on the Law of Replevin in the United States: With an Appendix of Forms, and a Digest of Statutes There is no part of the law, unblended with public jurisprudence or politics, which has been more obviously improved in the United States than Replevin. From the cumbrous weapon, useful only in a narrow field, to which Coke and Gilbert were accustomed, it has, in more than one half of the United States, been fashioned into the ready instrument for the adjustment of all disputes, in regard to the ownership of personal property. In some of the states, Pennsylvania for instance, this improvement has been the result of time, operating upon early colonial customs, occasionally assisted by judicial legislation. In other states, indeed in most of the northern and western states, the law has been codified, and the improvements which experience suggested, introduced; the frame work of the action remaining unchanged. The present work originated in the difficulty which the author experienced, on an occasion in which he was called upon to use the action of replevin.
