In issuing a Second Edition of this Work, the Author begs to express his thanks to the Profession, and the Student, for the favourable reception accorded to the First Edition. The present Edition has been enlarged by the addition of a considerable number of new Forms; and, at the same time, an endeavour has been made to enhance the value of the Work by giving those Precedents and Forms which supply the common and ordinary demands of practice. The number of miscellaneous Forms, Notices, and Statutory Declarations, has been greatly increased - in fact, a more extensive variety of models are given than any yet submitted to the Profession in so small a Work; and they, having been tested by actual use, are stamped with a greater amount of accuracy.<br><br>Considerable addition has been made to the Notes bearing on points connected with the Forms. The Suggestions for Drawing Legal Instruments, and the Introductory Observations, have been re-written, added to, or revised.<br><br>Although new circumstances necessitate new Forms, yet it is hoped that very little difficulty will be felt in adapting the present collection to any variation, either in facts or forms, that may occur in practice.
