London Review, 1800-07, Vol. 3, Issue 19. "London Review: 'It is a work of considerable merit, and certainly of great utility; not one of the precedents have ever before appeared in print; and he has given very satisfactory evidence of their authenticity and correctness by subjoining, in general, the names of the pleaders by whom they were respectively chosen: and in this nomenclature the names of the late Sir Thomas Davenport, Mr. Justice Yates, Mr. Justice Buller, Mr. Foster Bower, Mr. Warren, the present Mr. Baron Chambre, Mr. George Wood, Mr. Vicary Gibbs, Mr. Lawes, Mr. Marryatt, Mr. Tidd, and indeed of almost every other pleader of eminence, numerously appear. It may indeed, be truly considered as a vast mine of law learning upon the particular subject of pleading, from which the industrious student may collect a very rich and profitable ore." |
