CONTAINING EXPLANATIONS OF SUCH TECHNICAL TERMS AND PHRASES AS OCCUP IN THE WORKS OF LEGAL AUTHORS, IN THE PRACTICE OF THE COURTS,

AND IN THE PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS

AND COMMONS

TO WHICH IS ADDED. AN OUTLINE OF AN

ACTION AT LAW AND OF A SUIT IN EQUITY.

BY HENRY JAMES HOLTHOUSE, ESQ.,

Of the Inner Temple, Special Pleader. EDITED FROM THE SECOND AND ENLARGED LONDON EDITION,

WITH NUMEROUS ADDITIONS,

BY HENRY PENINGTON,

Of the Philadelphia Bar.

In one large volume, royal 12mo., of about 500 pages, double columns, handsomely bound in law sheep.

"This is a considerable improvement upon the former editions. being bound with the usual law binding, and the general execution admirable - the paper excellent, and the printing clear and beautiful. Its peculiar usefulness, however, consists in the valuable additions above referred to, being intelligible and well devised definitions of such phrases and technicalities as are peculiar to the practice in the Courts of this country. - While, therefore, we recommend it especially to the Students of law, as a safe guide through the intricacies of their study, it will nevertheless be found a valuable acquisition to the library of the practitioner himself." - Alex. Gazette.

"This work is intended rather for the general student, than as a substitute for many abridgements, digests, and dictionaries in use by the professional man. Its object principalis is to impress accurately and distinctly upon the mind the meaning of the technical terms of the law, and as such can hardly fail to be generally useful. There is much curious information to be found in it in regard to the peculiarities of the ancient Saxon law. The additions of the American edition give increased value to the work, and evince much accuracy and care." - Pennsylvania Law Journal.
