This title is part of the Treatises list.

This early treatment of the nature of a remedy and the conception of legal liability, while describing various common law actions. The book is interesting reading for all students of the law as well as for those interested in the historical developments emanating from common law pleading. As the author so aptly declares, “In the law of actions is to be found the most workable and most productive mine to which those who would become conversant with the fundamental principles of common-law liability can resort."
