The propositions to be deduced from the Cases which have been decided on the subject of this Treatise, are clearly and logically set forth and illustrated, by Vice-Chancellor Wigram.

"Throughout the whole of his Treatise, the author perpetually aims at one and the same object, namely, to substitute principle for form, to remind his readers that form is, in itself, of no importance, and can be easily evaded, while principle, inherent in the nature of things, remains for ever the same." Judge Story says, that " Points in the Law of Disco- very, is one of the most valuable contributions to juridical literature which has appeared for several years. It is learned, acute, and discrimi- nating, and discusses every topic with accuracy and fulness." 27 A. J. 239 ; 19 L. O. 499 ; 16 L. M. 287 ; (23) 286. WILCOX, P. B. Ohio Forms and Practice. Svo.
