Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Replevin, as Administered in the Courts of the United States and England One of the first books treating on a single action at law was Gilbert on Replevin, published in 1756. This was fol lowed by Wilkinson on Replevin, in 1825, and by Morris, the last edition of which is still fresh from the press. The two former works, though valuable and exhaustive treatises in their time, have become antiquated. The following pages contain an attempt to state the law of replevin as generally applicable in this country; a task attended with difficulty, in view of the differences in local laws. The author has forborne to insert copies of cases in the notes, which, while it would have swelled the number of pages, would not, as is believed, have been attended with any corresponding advantage. The work contains over five thousand references, and cites over three thousand authorities. H. W. W. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
